Hello Killez. I have been a DE for a little while and the BH droids are my main source of steady income. I sell them in factory crates of five. The probes i sell for 8k and the seekers i sell for 10k. The last i heard the seekers are still bugged just like they were when i was a BH. The droids do sell, i have to restock once a week and put scores of crates on my vendor. Just make sure your shop is in a place with lots of traffic and keep your vendor stocked. People will come back if they can be 99% certain that they will get what they are looking for at your shop. Enough with this i went to ten vendors and lost one hour of life just to click on empty vendors hehe. Well hope the input helps and good luck to you.

Pricing wise... It depends if it is crated or individuals...
Individual, my Seekers and Probes are 1.5k and 2.5k respectively.
Crates, they are 7.5k and 12.5k respectively.
Of course, they vary from server to server. Check around the major cities of Theed and Coronet and Bestine for local PA's with vendors on the map.
Some are priced about the same as their competitors, or priced to move quickly.
I don't judge bazaar pricing as a good indicator.

These Droids are weird, I was selling them for 11k and 6k a crate, and could hardly move them. Then I dropped to 5k and 10k and they are moving fast.
The key as was already said it to always keep a stock.

I sell them for 6k and 7k (crates of 5) when I feel like making them.
I consider them a waste of my time since the seekers have been bugged since launch and the devs ignored the idea of fixing it in our publishes. The profit margin is too low to bother if a BH can get unlimited uses out of them....
Instead, I leave the BH droid biz to the new DEs, since resource quality and DE skills/tapes are irrelevant with these two products.

Ok this is to the guy who has been posting in the droid pricing threads. This is a legit post. Dont place your lame spam here.
I sell seekers for 5k per crate and probes for 10k.

I sell all my BH droids for a calculated cpu for all resources that go into every component needed. That turns out to be around 2500 for a crate of Seekers and 2800 for a crate of probes. I knowit is really cheap and the funny thing is, I don't sell that many. I sell WAY more actual droids (about 20-30) per week, than crates of BH droids.

Wow! you basically double your price for the crated droids? Well if they sell...
I don't have any Seekers or probes on stock at the moment, but preparing a few large factory runs for them.
I think I will sell the seeker for 750 a piece and the crate of 5 for 3750 creds. Not sure about the Arakyds yet, but I think they will be about 1.5k a piece and thus 7500 creds per crate of 5.
May the Force be with you all!

I'll agree with what some others said here... it's a lot of work to factory run these things vs. how much profit you make off of them.
But they get people in the door. I've seen (via sales e-mails) that occasionally someone will buy a crate or two of them, followed by some batteries and hopefully a new R3 or Probot
