Doctor Archive

Hi all,

I'm relatively new to the game (been playing about a month and a half) and I took to the doc profession right away. I love hunting around for resources in vendors or trying to gather or harvest my own and then seeing what I can craft out of them. Recently, I've decided to give a try at selling my buff packs. I dropped some skills and picked up business 3 and plopped an ol' bulky down in my living room. I did a quick run of about 50 full sets at 878 power/ 3hr 7 min 21sec duration/30 charges/92 med use and loaded them onto the vendor in sets of 1, 3, and 5. All stats in the buff sets were identical as many docs see this as a big plus. So, I figured, alright, now my part is done. I just need to get the word out and watch the customers buy my packs! ... but in like the 4 days I've had the packs on the vendor, I've had one non-guild customer. That customer bought one of my sets one night and then came back the next day and bought 3 more. I sent him a thank you e-mail and he said he enjoyed my packs. So... my question is, what am I doing wrong? I am selling the packs at 100k a set (which I thought was a pretty good price on Bria) but still no customers. I tried posting in the trade forums, advertising in the auction channel, and even yelling in Coronet. Are the buff pack markets on the servers so stone set that people just don't try new vendors? It's very discouraging to think that I'm just too late in coming into the game to break into the market. I spent a very long time doing missions to get to 11 exp points. I'm still chugging away on Dantooine doing missions trying to scrounge together enough credits for that 12th point. However, if no one buys anything I make, then there's really no point in trying to get that last point. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone had any advice they could give me on how best to proceed. I really like doc crafting but so far, it's just pretty much been a time and money sink.

Thanks all,

Ehegi

P.S. I'm hope I'm not violating any forum rules. I'm really not trying to advertise in the doc forum. I just want some advice. I already have a post in the trade forums for my ad. Thanks
