why make a crate of 50 stimBs and sell them for 40k-50k when you can split them up and sell them for 3k a piece on the bazaar and be sold out within a couple hours and pocket 150k??? IMO they are worth 3k since we do not have class4 anymore(Corbantis) to make the good meds and the time and resources/credits used to gather the material and manufacture all the components needed. i do not see the logic in selling a stimB for 700 credits just cause some formula you use gives you such a price. the way i look at it is.... your paying 100 credits each time to heal your self and for a stimB that is 35 charges and 410 base heal that is still very cheap. Anyways crates of stimBs is not where the money is for any doctors who want to maximize profit and keep costs low.

Because customers who can afford to pay don't want 10 crates of 5 in their inventory when they can purchase 1 crate of 50. Sometimes it's not just a money/cost equation but you have to factor in demand as well.

Add to that the item cap and the travel expenses to place them all over and it's not quite as attractive as it seems

yes but your selling individual stims to not just 1 person( in some cases yes they buy 2-3) but to many people. i sell out of 25 at a time within 3 hours of placing them on the bazaar.

I do both. I make crates because more people want crates.

I make 2 kinds of crates. My power stims (40+/400+) that I sell for 75k and my normal stims that are around 35/350 that I sell for 30 to 40k.

I normally break up and dump the 35/350 ones onto the bazzar as singles at 1,000 each. I sell out 25 of those a night. (It's a nice 25k bonus), but most the people that I deal with want to be able to put a big crate in their inventory and not worry about it for a couple days. I know people that go through 8-10 35 use Stim-Bs a night. Those people normally but 4-5 crates from me at a time.

===========================

Thats 44 different items we need to sell. we can't even put one each in bazaar.

It would be 88 items if we were to say put 1 individual and 1 crate.

For CM poison/Disease, you want to have two version. High eff or long distance. (although for disease you only have 1 choice. Long distance)

And if we put in say 5 of popular ones like stim B and Enhance D both individually and in crates, it will easily go over 100 fast.

So obviously vendor is a must.

I just prefer to stick about 5 individual and 5 crate of (10, 25, 50) and refil the ones that get sold out.

Selections. Thats what lot of people want.

At least thats what I think people want.

Ofcourse I still fill the bazaar too! everyday! usually with fast selling stuff like enhanced packs and rez packs, but real money comes from vendor where one person buy 50k - 200k worth of stuff.

it's just easier for me to list them on my shop at my hall then to trek around constantly to the bazaars to list them. plus, there are many like me that carry crates of nearly everything they use for space issues. carrying them in singles form not only requires more inventory space which some just don't have, but is then an inconvenience to trek back to the point of purchase and hope that there are more available.

I sell crates on my Vendor at a slightly reduced price from what I sell on the Bazaar because people have to haul themselves out to my house to get them. And they do on a very regular basis. I also give a slight discount to people who preorder from me, because that way i am not guessing what might sell that week.

People want to have that crate of stims handy without needing to suck up 10 spaces in their inventory. Thats why anything sells in crates. You are hitting a niche market of the poor and the lazy who can't afford crates or who don't want to track down a vendor who still has some left (which can be very difficult on a Saturday).

The only reason I still sell on the Bazaar is because I can charge a little more and because I advertise my shop on my stims so people who are looking for some know where to go. Still I only charge 1700 for my 36/421 Stim B's on the Bazaar right now, 1600 for them at my vendor or for preordered crates lass than 50 and 1500 each for a crate of 50 (75K) which is mainly given as an incentive to buy a lot from me at once so I don't have to travel the universe using my piddly 25 spots and making 75K every 3-4 days instead. 75K in one swoop is just easier man. And faster. And even if you buy all your resources, thats still over 100% profit.
