Lots of undercutters. Like 3k a crate crap. I sell 8k a crate. Slashed prices almost 50%....
If everyone would sell high, everyone would get high.

Why do you complain if someone sells for 2.5k-3.5k? Think like a trader, just keep your own factory runs for back up and resell the undercutters. I sawa batchon the bazaar the other day for 3k each, bought them all, dropped them at Dantooine mining postfor 6k each - all gone, no work 3k profit each. The next day I saw a new batch for 4k - same seller, bought them and dropped them for 6k each on Lok and Dantooine - all gone. The seller even thanked me for the purchase and said he'd have another run done in another day or so (you can run their stock out faster than they can make it - leaving you to decide what the lowest price on the galaxy bazaar is.) The last I checked he was matching my price at 6k, and we were the lowest.
Spice doesn't go bad, so you can always sit on surplus if there are too many low priced ones to resell. I sell for 1k less than the lowest price on galaxy NPC city search and 5k a piece on my vendors - if people sell at 4k or below I just buy their stock and resell it(but I also have 400 crates I've run myself so I won't ever run out of stock.)
Be careful on larger servers though, Scylla has a lower population base - which means each person posesses more control over their specialties. I'd bet on Bria the going rate is probably 5k on the Bazaar due to population. Id stick with Pixie over almost any other spice run as well - you only need crystal and fruit to make a run. You have more combat professions than you do healers, so Moun isn't purchased as often (I think there are a lot of batches of Moun on my server for 2k-3k and it sits there.) If Jedi healing gets switched to being limited by mind and forcesmugglers will make a killing on Moun.
This is just from my own experience.

I play on bria and sell the pixies from the baz' at roughly 1k per pixie, they go. Also when im doing a slice (rare) or fp's i offer to throw in a crate on the deal ranging from 10k-25k and people pay for it. I enjoy it when people haggle the prices adds a RP element to it for me.

I sell for 25K a crate.
All these dumb asses that sell for less...are just that. Dumb asses. Im on Starsider, one of the most pricing imbalanced servers in SWG.
Everyon on SS had millions and millions of credits, 3k per crate...is crap. we have people selling food buffs for 300-500k PER crate. 25k per crate of spice isnt that bad at all.
Ive sold about 5 million credits worth of spices. these buttmuches that undercut me? pppffftt. they can NEVER touch the credits I make. I make 10-20 crate deals.....thats 250-500K per deal. think about it. If i sold this stuff for 3k per crate.....30k -60K or 250k - 500K...which one you gonna take?
as I said, these guys cant touch the credits I make, they are screwing themselves over. On SS 3k...aint crap.....
