Maybe it's just me, but my sales have really slowed down since the dev's opened TC5 up to the players. Even after the galactic bazaar opened, my sales were good.My shop is in the first rowoutside Coronet and my prices are very competitive.
It seems like most of the die hard players have moved over to TC5 to check out the CURB andthe regular servershave becomea ghost town.Now I only get a few sales a day, and I have a lot of food to get rid ofbefore it becomes useless. I've slashed prices by 50% just to get rid of it, but without a player base, there is no one left to buy it.
Has anyone else noticed this?

Yup. I'm pretty sure things will pick up again after the CU goes live. LOTS of people are playing on TC5.

Metal sales and Ubese armor sales are through the roof and I have no explaination for this.

In my opinion, it isn't just that everyone may be playing on test center. Unlike JTL, there is a great amount of uncertainity surrounding the CU. Players are putting off buying armor, weapons, food, and medicine until they know for certain how the CU will effect their respective professions and these items. On Chilastra I'm seeing a huge sell-off of food and medicine at severely reduced prices. My friends refuse to buy anymore armor and weapons until they know what they are doing post-CU. Even I'm taking a sit back, wait, and see approach to the whole thing.

Yeah I think this is likely the major reason for a drop in sales. Everyone is just waiting to see what the CU will bring before buying something and finding out they don't need it.
