Do docs generally just get this stuff forthemselves? Or do they actually buy these materials from other players (resource gatherers etc.)? If you do buy them from others, what is generally the going rate in CPU's?

I harvest my own, but on Bria I have seen really good doc resources go from 5cpu to 10cpu.

Well the reason I ask is that Ive been supplying avian and herbivore meat to buff packs creators, but never got into supplying the other resources. Currently on my server Talusian water vapor is OQ 913. I figured it might be worthwhile to get a couple harvestors out there and collect some, but am not really sure if its worth the cost being as though most docs probably have their own harvestors already there.

Its hard to say, but I think most doctors who craft very much for sale would have their own water.
That being said, if this water is the best to spawn in quite a while those doctors who happen to miss it (or become crafters after the spawn is over) might like to have the option to buy it later on. You may have to stockpile it for a few weeks before the demand picks up. If it isn't very near the top of the water OQ list on your server (996 is for Flurry), then I wouldn't bother with it.
Stick to harvesting lok wild wheat and tatooine fiberplast. Most new doctors will need tons of it for grinding through the crafting tree so the demand should be a little more constant (though hologrinding is going away soon too).

If I really want to hoard a lot of a particular resource I might ask for help in harvesting. If the spawn is still fresh I won't pay morethan 3cpu, but depending on the quality of the stats and the length it has been gone I would say something between 4cpu-12cpu (12cpu being really good stats)

I use a simple formula for pricing flora. Sincemedics are looking for high OQ and PE, in the ratio of 2/3 OQ and 1/3 PE, I use ( OQ + OQ + PE ) / 300 as the price per unit. So, if I have something that is OQ 800, and PE of 500, it would be ( 800 + 800 + 500 ) / 300 = 2100 / 300 = 7. So 1000 units would sell for 7000 credits. Keeps the prices consistent across different spawns, and allows crummy resources to be really inexpensive. I'm selling from a vendor, so I usually have resources in 1000 unit lots. But the same formula would work for bazaar sales, by adjusting the lot size.
