My ch has - or rsther, had - a sideline business. 10 harvesters planted around Lok. Basically, just pulling up whatever was on their spot (mostly copper and steel)
Every three days, I would empty them, put them on my vendor (2 vendors in a tent outside Bestine) and have about 20 items on the bazaar.
A modest little income, whenever anyone bought something off the bazaar (where I sold the resources for 2.5 cpu) I would send them an email saying I sold the same resource cheaper on my vendor. Over a week I would probably make 250k off the bazaar sales and the same off the vendor.
My ch is Swords/Doc, a template I really like, but it has no merchant or artisan skills any more - and there is no room to include any.
So, after the new nerf, is my little business finished or can experienced merchants suggest a way I, a non-merchant, can continue it?

Find a mechant to sell for you. Give him a set % of all the sales.
He will have to stock the vendor for you but I guess its better than nothing.
12 vendors at master merchant, I'm sure most of them will have a spare vendor to lend you.
It might be best to see if any of your friends are merchants

I'm sure there are major resource sellers on your server. Perhaps you can contact them and ask if they want to buy your stuff at a low price so they can sell it to others at a markup?

OK guys. Thank you for your help. The suggestion seems to be to hook up with a merchant and work something out. I must admit I have had a bad experience linking with a merchant in the past
(EUROTA! PLEASE CAN YOU ANSWER MY TELLS AND EMAILS - OR AT LEAST GIVE MY DAMN MERCHANT TENT BACK?)
I don' think there is any way to do what I want to do solo which is a pity (for me, anyway)
