I gave this RP style sales pitch a go,
http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=valcyn_trade&message.id=233298#M233298
(clickies have been disabled for me for some reason)
And later on another Smuggler made a new post saying to buy from him and aviod "price gauging" from Smugglers wanting to sell spice at 10k instead of 4k.
Its almost like they don't even want to be a smuggler!

Quite a while ago, a guy in another PA decided to flood the spice market on Tatooine by selling at a stupidly low price - far less than cost - via a vendor and on the bazaar. I'm a smuggler. Quite a few of my PA are smugglers. Our business was hurting badly.
Therefore, naturally, we bought up all of the loss-making spice and resold it at a decent price. In fact, we kept doing this until the guy in question (and his PA, no names but it starts with "Sh" and ends in "ade") ran out of money. Despite several pretty cowardly attacks on our non-combatants.
Seriously, supply and demand. All you need to do is limit the supply. Works like a charm.
And tsb? We probably won't buy from you because spice, we got. But we sure as hell won't be buying from Teese's mall either. Smugglers should stick together, regardless of PA politics.

I had to beat a couple guys out of the Eisley Bazaar myself....I still have about 25-30 crates with a stupid label on em in a storage house..... 3k for a crate? On a server that can price these for 2k per dose AND SELL? bleh...you are just asking to get beat on.....
2 + 2 = 4 You try to undercut me, Im gonna out buy you, and you are gonna lose more than I will.....
But that plug in my thread? ...was just low. Then he adds the "Im not even a Smuggler" 
Yeah There woulda been a Bounty taken out on him....if he Rped....
and...I dont expect you guys to buy spice from us.....if you want to....then by all means, Ill keep ya'll high while I take your credits ....

The spice flooder and his PA (both Cael and Tsb are talking about the same people, even if they didn't realize it) didn't just flood Eisley. They flooded C-net and Theed as well, and I'm really not sure what they hoped to accomplish by doing it. Even with their 3k per 25 crates on the market my 1k a hit doses were still selling. Sometimes, ironically, to members of the flooding PA, which really boggled my mind. They weren't actually hurting anyone but themselves with that price.
And the reselling? I was actually contacted by the leader of the flooding PA and he asked A: was Tsb buying and then reselling the cheap spice at a higher price(Tsb was, I knew Tsb was, and Tsb was even doing it on the very same bazaar he bought if from) and B: if he was could I please ask him to stop. What the hell?! I don't know why he thought that would work, but at least the relaying of the conversation over guildchat got a few laughs.

Yep, to us as well. One little bothan got a very bad time over it. Then Rem- and Vara decided that bothan solidarity is cool and fed the attackers their own entrails.
