I have a vendor with over 3000 Stim B's and C's and can't really seem to sell them. I am selling them at 25% off of the bazaar rates, and the stims are better quality. Strangely enough tho, I cannot keep wound B's in stock. So I am shifting to produce those for awhile. I know that markets are different from server to server, and probly from Planet to Planet as well.


Any input or ideas would be appreciated.

I don't really have a clue now I don't stock that many meds, maybe a few crates of each kind that I make, but it seems that there seems to be various 'spurs' in buying, for whatever reason. First it was maybe stim D's, then wound B's, then stim E's, then stim C's, with stim B's scattered throughout. Maybe my meds are that good that they aren't using them up that quickly (), but that sorta precludes more customers for me it seems (I don't have any merchant skills). I forgot to mention, I also stock doc. items (such as cure <anything> packs, not enhance packs though) for more variety and to be of more assistance.


I also put up stim B's and rez kits on the bazaar, which usually set out somewhat quickly, and to those frequent buyer of my things from there, I even send out mail to them inviting them to my vendor saying how I have more in bulk and slightly cheaper than on the bazaar, but that doesn't seem to have produced much effect either.

I sell tons of doctor meds. Wound packs sell well, as do stimpack Bs. I don't know what you are charging but be sure that you are not overcharging for your medications.


With the exception on stim bs I don't use the best resources for the medications I sell. That helps me keep my costs low and most people will buy up all the woundpacks I can make if they are reasonably priced.


I visited someone's shop recently and he was charging 3500 for 230 point stim bs, sorry that is too much money for those and people won't buy them, especially when they can buy mine for 800.

how are you advertising your vendor?


if no one knows where it is and what it sells, you wont be getting much sales.

I sell a lot of enhance packs and wound packs, a decent amount of stim Bs and some Cs. I also advertize on the forums when I restock one kind of meds, giving prices and stats.

I've had a problem with not selling as well. I have some stims up that are 31/341 or in that range. I have crates of 10, 25 and 50 and some singles as well.


I haven't sold a stim in a week. They were even priced at what i thought was a cheap price. 1300-1500 per stim. I have made a post on my server forum twice but just not getting the business. I with there was a way I could put the smaller crates back together just to save some space. They have the same seriel numbers on them, they should be restackable.


Just my two pennies.

Enhance packs are by far my biggest seller - can't keep them stocked ....


Everything else sells in spurts like a previous poster mentioned ... but at this point I'm only selling stuff to make money for buying med xp tapes....


There's are many docs on farstar selling Stim B's but it seems everything else is hard to come by so I decided to stock Wound B's and E's, Enh D's, Cure A's and C's, and statepacks .... I sell stimpacks - it's just not my main focus


It seems like the best sellers are the enh's, wound B's and Cure packs


and because I don't wanna be bothered with making normal components (and because I have so much of everything else) everything I make are advanced ....

hehe, my stim b's are priced at 900 for 31/350+ and I cannot sell out. Even on the bazaar, it takes a couple of days. Maybe there is just a glut of doctors out there right now...too much competition, or maybe I need to move to Dant or Dath in order to sell my wares....

I'm on Chimaera and the tumble monkey plague has reached us. There must be 1000's of people trying to grind Doctor.

This means products fly off my vendor quicker then I can replace them.

Stim B's @ 1500 credits each, doesn't matter how many I put on the vendor, when I get back they are gone, mostly to only one or two people.

Enhance pack D's..... These sell even faster. Across the whole server if these are put on a vendor, they are gone within hours.

I think once the Hologrind has finished sales will slow down, but in the mean time it's like a licence to print money.


The other thing that controls sales on Chimaera is reputation. There are some Doc's here who would never run out of stims because few people know of them. Others, Soo, Issac and the like have only to let a few people know that they are restocking thier vendor, and there are queues waiting while they restock.
