o_O - wow 3 cpu. Wow! No, really, Wow!
Man, I'm going to make a char. on eclipse right now and get some of that while the getting's good! Then all I'll need to do is do a credit swap between eclipse and bloodfin and I'll be able to retire in style!

Seriously though, you'd probably do better posting this to your galaxy's trade forums. And most rangers don't hunt for 3 cpu. We can make more money running missions.
Face it - your vendor is on lok right - let's see, that's a 1700 credit ticket to get there , 3.4k roundtrip if I remember correctly. So, just to cover travel expenses, I would need to harvest a little over1000 units of hide. Granted, that is only two rancors or so, but then you're talking cost of buffs and tickets to Dath. so, you see my point.

I think your best bet for this is to locate in game people training Scout and ask them to sell on their hide to you. Check out Mos Eisley for new players wandering around saying "Can sum1 giv me sum creds!!1!!!"

Be nice guys, some people just don't understand because they see spammers in coro selling inorganic resources for 3cpu etc. I think the author of this thread doesn't realize what is entailed in getting organics or the fact that 10-15 cpu is a low average for selling organics. I am getting 100cpu right now for Lokian avian meat and got 50cpu last week for endor herbivore meat. I can play for 2 hours casually and get 200k from my harvests. Not a bad gig :-)

Actually I find the resource pricing quite bizarre. I'm on Radiant and have recently started selling to get money (being more your wilderness style Ranger, I don't find I need a lot of creds).
I found a resource pricing spreadsheet on the web which I use, so pricing is based on quality. I put up 1000 mid-quality leathery hide at Mos-Eisley the other day for 6cpu and it didn't sell. I find the Wooly hide sells almost immediately so I'm adjusting the prices up until it reaches a natural demand ceiling.
But my initial reaction to this thread was similar to some others. 3cpu...errr....OK, good luck

Hmmmmmmm ok. Definitly better luck if this was in the trade forum, or like I read before, buy it from the newbs running around Mos Eisly.
Sise, give me a tell next time in game, we should get together

*looks at ad*
3 CPU? uh...to be honest, you'd be better offering at least 5 CPU minimum for low low grinding quality hide..........unless Eclipse is completely different from Intrepid or something.....

I see some grinding resources sell for 2-3 cpu on my server occasionally.

I know this post is in the wrong forum, but i really have to scoff at it. 2 or 3 CPU? Surely you jest! Thats so low, it would take 1000 hides alone to cover the cost of the shuttle ticket to go somewhere to harvest the rest. Most market terminal fodder sells for 6 CPU, and even that is hardly worth the time.
