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:



  1. Player city money sink.

  2. Everyone is buying mounts.

  3. Mission payouts nerfed.

  4. 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.

If anything, I'm seeing more sales than I was a week ago.

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.

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??????

My sales are fluctuating, but it is my own cause. I've been workin around the city and mount stuff, and doing other things, but if I actually go intoa city and try to sell droids, i sell droids no prob.
