Title says it all: I can't be arsed to pull all the dozen plus specific resources and componentstuff together to make these onmy limited schedule (without having my housemates call the guys in white coats) and I had considered sub-contracting it out to another DE who was crazy enough to do it, and passing the cost along to the customer. Before I go and do that, I have to ask..
Do people buy and use them?
Simple.

If they have droids that they use hevily in combat people use 'em.
But that's about it. I made one run way back and still have a bunch,

I ordered a run of 1000 Stim-A's when the modules first came out.
I still have 700+ and I have been giving them away with medical droids. I stick a doird in a backpack with a crate of 10 droid batteries and some Stim-A's.
I wish the Stim Dispenser worked off the Med Use level of the droid owner.
Stim-A's heal so little that they only thing they are good for is healing damage delt by a chuba.
But thats my experience.

In the last 2 Months I have sold:
'Medical' Droids exc Stim A Disp: 51
'Medical' Droidsinc Stim A Disp: 1 - And that was a specific order.
I stopped putting them in my droids. Waste of a slot of you ask me. Swapped them for 10 Item Storage instead.

I think the original poster was probably talking about Droid Repair Kits, not Stimpack Dispenser Modules, since he mentions them needing specific resources and "component stuff". I'm afraid I can't help you with this. I have all the resources but haven't gotten around to crafting any yet, let alone selling them. I'd expect they'd sell pretty well if you're selling decent numbers of combat droids though.
On the Stimpack Dispenser debate - my sales over a 1 month period:
The middle figure is possibly a little misleading, since a lot of my droids get Stimpack Dispenser modules thrown in to pad out the slots, but since over 10% of my sales are pure Stimpack Dispenser droids they seem to sell OK.
EDIT: This is only sales from my "Med Droids" vendor.

- Droids with no Stimpack Dispenser Modules: 20
- Droids with at least one Stimpack Dispenser Module: 28
- Droids with only Stimpack Dispenser Modules: 6

If he refers to the packs to repair your droid... when i go hunting with my droid i usually need a few of them. (Bought a pack of 10 a month or so ago, slowly i'm running out...)
If it's about the Stimpack Dispenser, as soon as the DE on Infinity who i asked how much an R3 with one storage compartment and otherwhise stimpack dispensers sends me the mail about the price, i'll see if i get me one.

Doh! In that caseI sell loads of Repair Kit D's although mine are mediocre. 28 uses 1450 repair.

I think he was talking about Droid Stims as well.
I sell a lot of Stim D's myself, 47 Charge 1770 Power. However, at 3k a stim, they are not exactly huge moneymakers. More of a convieniance item for my customers. They are a lot of work.

Hmm, a lot of work? The materials might be a bit hard to get, especially as you'll need good quality ones. Otherwhise it looks like the Stim B production i keep up, make 3 times 1000 components, create 99x endproducts. Not a lot of hassle, as long as you have the materials at hand.
From what i see i would say that the StimC with normal components might pay off best compared to the material requirements.

I strive to make the best, with Stims that is D's. Stim D's with all advanced componants. Getting all the resources is one thing, getting all of them GOOD is another. When you look at named resources, and qualities needed, Droid Stim D's are our most difficult to make item.

Droid repair kits are decent sellers for me. Enough to do a big run of them (since they crate in packs of 50) once every six months or so.
