-----------
~53 mil

That's more than 13 mil/mounth of sales. Let's say my margin is 80%, i get paid 10 mil a mounth and that's enough for me As everything listed here is crafted by factory, i'm satisfied by the money/time ratio.


And yes i'll turn on my vendor

ANyone saddened by the fact that out of potnetially 2 or 3 thousand players, only these handful are known?

You have to realise that Inifinty - European Server has one of the smallest player bases in SWG. I think I know of 2/3 other DE's he hasn't mentioned. We are like a little village, we all know each others business. So this does not sadden me at all.

his isnt a a flame, but it looks like you try and keep up with the biz on your server, and if you only know of these 9 or so shops out of 2 or 3 thousand. Well, that seems to indicate a larger overall probelm, doesnt it?

Ok wasn't going to post owt but as my name has been mentioned I guess i will have too

I play on the same server as EnigmaBSc and I have known him since the day I got Novice DE. When I started out I was angry that he would sell his wares for such a low cost, seeminglywithout any regard for other DE's. So I TALKED to him and asked him why he does this. He gave pretty much the same answer as he gave here 3 pages back. So I carried on about my 'business' as though he didn't exist (No offence mate)and concentrated on what I was doing. I now have a name for myself and a small client base. Business is good.

Then along comes the Global Vendor Search Wotsit Thingy-mer-jig. At first I was afriad thinking that was it,once Enigma gets his prices listed we are all doomed. hehe. However, on the SAME day this went live on TC I got an email from Enigma ensuring that we would not be listing his vendors on the global list straight away. I beleive him. He has been nothing but honest and helpful and it is nice that we can all work togeather on infinity. Can't remember the amount of times I have sent customers to other DE's including Enigma when I am out of stock. Bearing in mind I sell the same BH droids for x10 the price (15000).

I seriously think that location is going to make a bit difference to this too. Would you rather go off planet with a shuttle costs if you dont have JTL for a 10k droid? Or travel 1200 metres to buy the same droid for 20k in half the time. I know what I would do. Time will tell..

My 'Battle' plan? I will be registering my Vendors. I wont be changing my prices. I will be talking to every DE I meet to try and see if we can all come to some common ground. All goes wrong? Time to go combat, then probably leave once i get bored of killing stuff.

Once this is live in a few hours we will all know the fallout. I have my fingers crossed that they made it too useless to check pages and pages of items. We will see.
