Merchant Archive

I find nothing wrong with resale. It's just the last step in the crafting process, as far as i'm concerned. Some artisans choose to deal with this themselves, but in the real business world, you would find it very very rare for a company to actually sell the goods they make, straight to the customer, unless there is a direct branding mechanism or the cost does not overwiegh the profits.

It's a simple chain, the resources come from mining companies, they're then put together by factories (crafters/artisans), and then sold to resellers who then sell to the customer. SWG has missed the last step in it's mechanics, but there's nothing wrong with doing it.

Lasalasyou are right on! It is a supply chain. I think many crafters do not get it, because they want to make the most money they can from in item. They do not look at the time it takes to sell it as having any value. If it takes you 5 mins to make something and 15 mins to sell it for 4000 credits, you could have made 3 more things in that time, sold all of them to me for 2000 credits each. Your 20 mins = 4000 , with a merchant your 20min = 8000.

I have been in the city, and watched people shout kill there ketboard hurts to sell an item, and no one wants it. And the price gets lower, and lower, and lower.

malls are good, I like them in this game. I will have one open as after the patch.

I have often bought out all the cheap items on the bazaar and relisted them. If there are only two peices of arm armor on the bazaar and they are listed for 200 credits. You bet I am going to buy them and relist them. They will sell in no time anyways.

Draznar I do this with resources all the time, I saw 2000 Alums (OQ 890) in the bazaar for 500 credits ( I am sure many were eyeing this treasure), I bought it, kept 500, and split the rest up in the bazarr, I made 3500 on it.
