Well, with my lovely Master Doc/Master CM template, I have no room for artisan/merchant and thus no means to sell any extra goods I craft. I usually buff in the starport for $$$. Seeing as howI don'tbuff AFK, this means my main source of income takes up a lot of my time. Since I just started the FS grind, I'm going to need all the time I can get. Therefore, I'm looking for an alternate source of income. I bought a crafting station and a factory, and I sunk just about everything I had into resources (shout out to Nimhnoid! thanks again). I intend to try and craft my own doctor meds (not buffs yet) and combat meds in addition to crafting items for sale.
As I understand it, one of the big sellers is StimB's since anyone with novice medic can use that to heal during combat and also to grind towards master medic/doc/combat medic. While I realize this is highly server-dependant (being that each server has its own economy), I wanted to ask here if anyone has had great success with selling StimB's on the bazaar. I was thinking I could whip out a crate or two, store them in my safe deposit, and then just throw them on the bazaar whenever I'm passing through Cnet.
So does anyone else do this? If so, how much do you sell them for? Do you sell singles/crates of 2 or 3? How often do your bazaar stims get bought out and have to be "restocked"? Do you make a good profit at it?

Your big limitation will be the number of items you can stock on the bazaar at once, as well as the price cap on bazaar items. If you price the Stims at a fair point and they sell well, restocks will be a real task. Forwhile I stocked meds on adventure planet bazaars-almost as a public service-and it was pain to manage...at least from my perspective.
You might want to consider hooking up with someone who is a merchant and letting them resell your meds. That could work either on consignment or outright purchase and it completely removes the hassle of you having to manage the sales side of the transaction.

I'm in a similar situation. Don't have enough skill points for a vendor and sell stims on the bazaar mainly for fun and to get rid of some excess stuff. What I did was put *msg Zam for crates* in the name of the stim. If your really aggressive you can send a message to the purchaser and tell them they can buy it cheaper by the crate. It works pretty well. Have sold a few crates this way and was able to use up my 2nd best resources. You are limited to 25 items on the bazaar so you have to refill it a few times a day if you sell a lot. I also sell them all uncrated because they get listed under factory crates otherwise.

How often do you play? Are you on every night? If so, perhaps we can work out a deal. I can take my character on Ahazi and train up the artisan/merchant branch and you can do likewise with a character on Bloodfin. Then we can swap lots and place a merchant tent. This way we both have extra room for factories and harvestors AND we can sell our goods. Let me know if you're interested and perhaps we can work out a deal.

Interesting proposition but I'll have to pass. My account expires in February and I planned on taking a couple month leave of absense. Nothing wrong with SWG just need a break from the game.

Try to sell stim B's from Coronet bazaar (or the city which is popular in your galaxy).
I price 5 stims in crate for 5k or 6k and they go fast.
I think you can offer total 25 items so you can sell 25 crates and when you received mails from auctioner that your packs are sold you can reload from your Bank safety deposit to bazaar again. I think this method works well because first days of my doc i used this method and sold many stim A's and B's.. Now i have vendors but still i put my stims at fair prices to bazaar for fun and for newbies and they are sold very fast.

If you're going to sell Stim-B's or C's or D's sell them on the hunting planets like Dathmoir/Endor/Yavin IV. I sell a lot by singles for 6k from desperate hunters.

when is 1 vendor going to be 0 skillpoints??? Seriously, how much 'skill' does it take to place a boxy terminal in your house and put things on them. Politician was recently made to be 0 SPs, so should vendors.

I sell stims of all typeson my vendor mostly, but I have also found that there is a healthy market for them on the Coronet bazaar. On Flurry, that is the most heavily watched bazaar (I think that is true on most servers).
I only sell them in singles on the bazaar, and I sell them for 6k each. They sell very well at that price (all of my stimBs are over 400 power). I look at it as a service that I am providing to those who do not wish to travel very far (i.e. grinders healing tumblers). I do followup each stim sold with an advertisement email that tells the purchaser where my vendor is and gives the crated prices for stims: 35k for a 50-pack crate of Bs,all the way up to 70k for a 50-pack crate of stimEs. I have had several people continue to buy 10-15 stims on the bazaar at 6k each rather than travel all the way to my vendor (800m from Theed starport). I think that kind of convenience is worth 6k a stim...

Well, I crafted one and slapped it up there for a very reasonable price yesterday. We'll see what kind of response I get and see whether or not it has sold by the time I log in tonight.

I sell mine40+/400+for 2k each in crates of 3 on the coro bazaar. I have to restock daily butit takes very little of my time and provides a nice income. I haven't done this in awhile but on my old toon I also used to email a thank you to my customers which as mentioned above can generate custom orders.

I kinda agree with you. If I can make items to sell why can't I havea vendor. Iam a doctor and havecrafting skills, I should be able to place 1 vendor. A Smuggler cancraft items. He should have 1 vendor. Maybe add it to the 4th tier crafting box for all professions where you can craft. ie doctor, cm, be,... But I don't think a rifleman should be able to have a vendor without spending skill points. Maybe it could just be a small vendor that can hold like 100 items.
