I'd like to get a rough idea for how many credits high-level merchants tend to move around, and how. Could y'all post here (guesstimates are fine):

1) The average number of credits you make per week from your vendors (gross income, not net)

2) The most credits you've ever made in a given week (again, gross income)

3) How many vendors were involved in those sales?

4) If multiple vendors, were they all in one location, or spread out? Over multiple planets?

Thanks!

It's pretty hard to say when you are also a crafter. The only times I have sold other people's items, it was just for friends so I didn't get anything out of it. I have 6 vendors, two for clothes, one for meds, one for resources, one for loot and one for spices (for another account), all ina mall that has about 10 other vendors. I just sell stuff I make/loot/harvest basically, I will buy low and sell high on the loot and misc vendor though, but I would love to sell other people's wares if we got more vendors, but right now I am pretty stuck.

Disregard whether it was your items or someone else's, and don't subtract any money you spent to get the items in the first place. Again, rough estimates are fine. The reason I'm asking is to figure out what reasonable upper limits would be for a hypothetical "credit cap" on vendors. For example, I estimate that I gross maybe 100k in sales in the average week, and I've heard other merchants toss figures around in the area of a million credits per day.

4 million

This week will be a record since I sold 10.4 million in the last 24 hours. Say, 15 million.

3 vendors

1 location (though I have run 2 planets in the past)

An answer to a question that you didn't ask - at any given point, I have about 120 million credits of resources on my vendors.

Good point, the amount of storage is also important.

So the top number I've seen so far is 60mil in a week. The preliminary numbers that I've been doodling work out to allowing 70 million credits worth of salesper week at the Master Merchant level, with 140 million credits worth of inventory at any given time. If nobody's ever topped that, I'll assume that I was successful in drawing the upper limit at the point of "as high as anyone will ever need".

1) The average number of credits you make per week from your vendors (gross income, not net)varies but usually 7-20M, usually in bursts especially around resource shift changes.

2) The most credits you've ever made in a given week (again, gross income) bout 60 as best I can recollect, had millions coming and many millions going back out

3) How many vendors were involved in those sales? 3

4) If multiple vendors, were they all in one location, or spread out? Over multiple planets? over multiple planets

5) most stock on vendors? 90million credit value (that's a buttload of power)

6) most credits on hand? 75M

7) net worth for everything i own? 250M

Power is lucrative but not nearly as lucrative as some other professions, but it's our niche, and frankly, is easier than crafting with minimal learning curve, and still provide a quite nice income.. most of my employees earn over 1 million credits each per cycle running 8 harvesters.

Thanks!
