Thread: Droid sales falling...
Has anyone else noticed that since the last publish, droid sales have dropped dramatically? Or am I just loosing my touch?

Actually, I don't think it is just me, I think it is the following:
- Player city money sink.
- Everyone is buying mounts.
- Mission payouts nerfed.
- Holo-chasers dumping cheap droids on the market to recop some small part of their expenses grinding to MDE to drop it. (This has been noted in other crafting professions - there are threads about it).
Anybody else?
yes... and no...
More Bh sales that I've seen.. but the medical has dried right up. Then again, I haven't been actively selling either. After the last patch I knew it wasn't a good idea to log in with crafting stations bugged. So I just let my harvy maint run out.. logged in a few days later and re-planted. You know its a bad DE day when your scared to log in. I got enough stress in my life.
I've only sold BH seekers and probes. But that has increased a little. I dont really build droids except for experimenting with, and learning about them. Ihave given a couple of frames to friends to use as welcome signs in their homes.I usually just grind, at least untilI reach MDE.

The #1 reason why prices have lowered:
DE's that have no concept of economics. When you have one DE selling their Droids for half-price, others will follow. And that is never good for the market. The other day I saw a ADV Probot for 10k. 10k?!?!?!? No one can be blamed except ourselves.
BH sales are up this week, everything else is the same.... nothing much sells.
I am on strike.. But I am worth 80 million credits so I dont care other then to get this profession back in shape..

Me too for some reason. Sold more droids than I can count (about 7 or 9) and at leat 15 chasis in the last three or four days. I was actually slow for a few weeks there.
Hey I sold 65k in droids yesterday. ![]()
Unfortunatly my vendor was apparently bugged and sold the droids for 6k
Upon asking for the droids back or pay the correct price I was told to f**koff. Apparently on Tempest I wasn't the only one that had random sales at Bazaar prices ![]()
Its dropped a little for me, although BH droid sales are up which is helping. It could be just that time of year. Around the start of November sales were way up. I think it being the time between Halloween and Rememberance/Veteran's Day. So currently it could be just the lull after and as well that people are going gaga over CH mounts. I mean hey, 200k for a mount? I yi yi. At anyrate, I think with Thanksgiving Day in the U.S. coming up that sales might jump a little. Make sure you're stocked and listed.

My sales have actually increased since the patch, I think largely because of player cities, and the fact that my Corellian vendor stays registered on the planetary map (I'm usually on Naboo, and can't reset it every morning).
I was averaging 70-100k a day in sales before, since the patch, I've been doing 125-200k each day.
what are you selling??????
