Commerce in SWG is really different than real life and different per server. I see people selling Krayt dragon paintings on their vendor for 50K while I can pick them up off the bazaar for 6K.


Droids are just as weird. I have a droid vendor, its the most stocked Ive seen on my server and planet, and I sell maybe one or two droids per week. I dont have it advertised globally, yet, so its all walk in traffic from the WS I share tent space with. Occasionally my guildies that are more combat oriented get my name out there and I sell some stuff. But I sell my stims for about 1K each while the guy in the next city to mine has em advertised in crates for 220 each! Yet my stims sell, as well as my batteries.


I didnt get into DE for the money I got into it to make droids. (Ive given em away for free too to people wandering our city armed with a CDEF and wearing patchwork bone armour).


I guess its just fun for me to make droids.

I have a vendor at a good spot. (Market square, New Rosenholme)


Im not making droids in factory (exept BH droids) only components, and i have only 1 of each kind of droid on vendor atm. I make a new one when sold...


My income varies a lot. There can be days not selling 1 droid, and days like this weekend, from friday afternoon to sunday afternoon i sold 10 droids, made 200k... 100k a day = 3 million at month


Of course that not every day, but i make it run....

When i get more money ill start making crates of the most selling droids, imagine making 10 droids without factory ... zzzzzzzzzzzz ...


My best advice:


Even if u are not master, make a vendor on a good spot (large player city, at market square if possible) even when u cannot make top-quality, just make what u can and charge lower, i charge 10k + 5k per module. When using 2 medic modules to reach 110 rating i charge only 7,5k for both.


DE is coooooooooooooooooool
