Yet I go the the galactic bazaar (Farstar) and see Dune Lizards and Tie Fighters being sold for 6k. The odd Kimogila and such also. You don't see too many Swoop bikes up for 6k, if ever at all. It torks me to see this. How do you survive? The price of ships has dropped sooo dramatically it is hard to keep my head up. I have always sold my ships at 3CPU and will continue to do so. I hope you shipwrights who do this, soon drop the trade, or even better, loose your shirt. Let the flames and one stars begin.

What you see there is low tier ships that pilots, NOT SW, sell to make some cash back. How many pilots keep old little fighters when they got bigger higher mass fighters to use. The odd kimogila was probably from someone who thought they wanted it, flew it, hada crappy time, and is trying to get it off there hands.
I have yet seen a SW ever put his blueprints on the bazzar. It was chassies and they were bought from the chassie dealer after buying a blueprint. I haven't even heared of a SW buying chassies of the chassie dealer other than for a ship they want to fly themselves.
I think you got some of your facts a little messed up. Its an understandable mistake but, no, it isnt' SW that are doing it.
But really, there isn't much money in chassis for a number of impossible-to-fight reasons, so I haven't been bothered by this practice in a while.

As a matter of fact it is shipwrights that are doing it, and they are putting up blueprints....(en masse). Ok. You grind them to get xp. Put them up on the bazaar, for 6k....10 at a time. So now the pilot has a 6k Dunelizard....which IMHO is a prettygood darn ship. Now when it comes time to get a yt-1300, he wants to pay 25k max for it, and complains when it costs more. It is hurting our business and economy. Albeit true that pilots do put up their chassis to recover credits. I buy all mine back to my good customers for half price, when they come back to me for a better ship. And yes Subcriminal. I read your post abouta week ago. A brilliant post that is, but I would still like to sell chassis.
