I have to admit for the2nd time in 6 months since I mastered, I am having second thoughts.

Not about the profession itself, but more because my business is just so dead. I spent ages fitting out a showroom, have moved it several times, I always help anyone who asks but just nothing i do is increasing my business.

On the flipside though my SW business is roaring along and although I'm not making millions the turnaround is very good and will only get better with Pub24 (when it eventually happens)

I can only encourage you though as I have luved the last 6 months and I doubt I will surrender as it was my 1st master profession. I still enjoy making custom droids and R2's etc so maybe i'll just re-evaluate the marfket and find a niche ...

As a Master DE on Valcyn I am actually having a hard time keeping droids stocked, I'm not talking just your regular old Arakyds and Seekers, but combat droids of different styles, Droid Stims are even selling pretty good now as well. I'm also starting to get requests again for R3 bomb Droids (I stopped making them after the CU hit as I didn't forsee any demand for a long while).

My DE character is actually fully self sufficient now, which happened only within the last 4-5 weeks.

Yesterday was my time to relist my droid stock and check which ones need new supplies and I noticed that I was down to 3 .. yes 3 customization kits. Promptly ran off a few more.

Sales have been quiet recently but then I have been shuffling the prices round so may take a few weeks to lift off again but still making on average 5 sales a day which, already having a balance of 10mil, I am quite happy to live with.

Currently in the process of stocking up standard utility droids which tend to sell reasonably well. I alsomake sure I have at least 3 of each Astromech Level Droid in basic format and start the week with at least 1 of each alternative version for those with a little bit more money to combine different functionality. Combat and Medic based droids are next which are also a good seller for me.
