Thread: For Stim Merchants
Has anyone with a stim business noticed a marked decline in sales since decay was instituted? My business targets AH/Bestine and sales have been sllloooooooowwwwww. I checked to see if anyone was undercutting me -- nope. Want to get feedback on the idea that decay has severely curtailed PvP.

Same here. Only guess I have is more and more people carrying around medics/doctors with them. My biggest sales were to "dabbler" Medics. Although, my decline is probably more due to moving to a Player City that is 3.5km from the nearest shuttle ... for now anyway.
My sales have dropped as well. Pet stims are partly to blame for this I think, but mostly I dont think people are willing to do challenging missions or pvp anymore for fear of their equipment being destroyed.
I dont think medics/docs are being carried around either. I often sit at the Dantooine Mining Outpost healing wounds for people or helping out my guildmates, and very rarely do I get asked to join a team (I display my doc/CM title). Now buffs on the other hand... Every few seconds I get a tell requesting "BUFFFZ 4 FREE PZLZZ". Apparently these havent lost any popularity.

No kidding. You can make a pretty penny selling enhances now. Not like you couldn't before, but man they sell so fast now, you have to raise your prices to keep up with demand.
I think the decline will be temporary myself. People are just "afraid" of decay right now, but they'll evetually get bored of being cowardly and actually take some hard missions again. Expect sells to go back up.
I just started selling crates of stims. I sold 6 crates of Stims in 2 days. I just announced it on the galaxy forum and got in-game tells about it. Is that fast?
Ya that is slow,,
I used to sell 20-30 crates or partial crates a day. I'm down to about 5 now
How's that for a decline in sales
I'll tell you 1 contributing factor... the bug with bufffs... I for one avoided the crafting in doc beause i do not enjoy it, i would rather run missions and fund someone that does...
Now that SOE bugged buffs I was pretty much forced to master doc in order to be as effective as i was...So I mastered doc... I don't need to buy meds from other people when i can make them, and sell a few myself.
Aside from the Bstims, and the med use 5 items, I would assume alot of your sales losses are due to this bug.
I cant wait till they fix this so i can drop master doc, no way am i going to compete with the retards on my server paying 50cru for any meat with 900+ oq. and a descent PE.
