I can say as a purchasing doc... first off i dont buff in large amounts anymore only do it for friends and whatnot....so I mean that might have a lot to do with it.
However I stopped buying bulk last month. Once I ran out of that last bulk I am now buying individule buff wearable containers. Since I dont buff a whole lot of people they are lasting me ok. I am also using up my stims asap and am crying that no one makes wound packs anymore cause I ran out and well cant find any to buy...and I wont make them on account that I am storing up all my supplies for CU.

My sales dropped sharply, then after our server was on TC they pretty much stopped altogether. I'm not a huge supplier anymore but I usually do over a million credits a day in sales, but it's down to nothing right now.
As a side note, I've noticed a surprising number of repeat customers, whom I have on my friends list, don't come online much anymore. On my combat character I'd say about 80% of my friends are canceled or rarely come online anymore.

I've done everything imaginable to try and keep sales steady ... including cutting prices in half on most items, some more then that. I've got my 900pwr buffs down to under 2k a pack. Odd to think that just two months ago those could sell for 20k still.
Used to pull in roughly 5 mil a week, now we're stretching for 2, and I can tell you nowthat wound packs and stims are the majority of my current sales. Not true of the past.

Definitely down from average 10m/day to 2-3m/day, but non forum readers still buy, esp.. since not many vendors are filled anymore..

My sales flatlined, I started advertising in coronet daily and selling buffs as well, and my sales have skyrocketed in the last week ... in the week before that, I'd gone days at a time not selling a thing, now I'm back up to about 2m/day between sales and buffing

yup, mine took a dive to oblivion. used to sell over 30sets a day, weekends are better, over 50sets. this week alone, nothing cos all the other doctors are doing major sale as they're leaving the game, changing profession or jus trying to recoup a bit of their losses. it's jus unfortunate the doctors who craft meds to 'feed' the server are being punished so severely, harsh, too harsh

The MD crafter I got all my buffpaks from in the past has been spamming in cnet all night fortwo weeks trying to offload his inventory. Before that I would rarely see him outside his shop - always busy making the best buffs around.

I've only sold a few runs of buff packs in the 20 months that I've been a Doc-the majority of my sales-over 300,000 units of finished goods-have been all the rest of the med schems. My shop-in the past-has averaged about800k-1 millioncredits a day with an average unit price of 1,100 credits. In the last 10 days it's dropped to about 200K a day on average. I've got my normal 8K-10K of line items still stocked and I'm going to do so until the CURB hits....at which point I'm going to destroy the stocked vendors and retire from active med crafting.
Now I just need to figure out what to do with 62 million units of premium resources.

I'm one of those weird docs who actually likes to buff but hates to craft. I bought a crates of buffs from a crafter who was quitting about a month ago and don't plan on buying anything else before the cu. I've been buffing most every night and if I do that up until the cu I still won't use up all the buffs I have.

Buff sales are down, but I'm selling res-kits in bulk like never before, I now have 6 factories producing them 24/7... lots of people are trying to finish their FS trees before the CU.

Not just you, my sales have been down for weeks since the CU was announced. I think people are only buying on an as needed basis
and I don't blame em.

I sold all my buff stock, and kept only enough for personal use until the CU. You're not alone, Merk, I see alot of Naritus vendors with stock that isn't moving at all. Definitely a bad sign for those with large stock. Now is probably a good time to slash prices, and cut losses, if you have large stock. With the CU looming, it won't get any better, and probably will get worse. Just my 2cr
