I was earning my gambling credits putting laser knifes willy nilly to some weapons out back ofmy arms dealers shop for a customer.Setting some rifles on the bench,I randomly poke and prod within the rifle housing, somehow bypassing the couplings via a clamp indicator and readjusting the emitter to unload a gratuitous burst of energy shell. I manage to do a proud job on some nice rifles fora fella' who says hes going hunting in the wilds the coming weekend. Yeah..sure, I reply. I don't ask questions. Ipoint tohis gear and suggest that he keep a low profile on the "ranges" as the "wardens" frown upon illicit material. He simply nods andbegins to pick up his stuff.
(actual game events)
Moi: Heres yer weaps back (trade window opens)
(items deployed - accept trade?)
(trade cancelled. oops)
(trade again)
(items deployed - accept trade?)
(trade cancelled. doh)
At this point I check my inventory, 34 of 50.
(trade again)
(trade cancelled. sonofa...)
Its here where the story gets humorous to me as the customer says. Your inventory is full.
Moi: its shouldn't be... (double check..still 34 of 50)
2x (trade again) + (trade cancelled.)
Customer
in all seriousness)Damn man, you call yourself a master smuggler, you don't even know how to trade things. Your a joke.
Moi: *mental snap* Hey, perhapsYOUR inventory is full?
..pause..
Customer: It is. Sorry. Ok now try.
(trade again. Trade completed!)
Kudos to the fella for admitting his obvious oversight though. A classic case of think before ya speak. Funny to me nonetheless... sort of.

This is truly the greatest thread I've read on these forums. I started reading it when I was going from unarmed 3 to 4, and now I'm 2/4/0/4 inSmuggler and it's the most fun I've had in this game yet. Today wasn't very fun, though...
I was in a buff line ( a very, very long buff line) getting ready to go to Dantooine to level some Smuggler pistol skills and decided to put my slicing macro on. I got a PM from a guy in front of me *asking me where I was*, so I knew this wouldn't be good.
"hey can u slice my weapon for me bro?"
"Sure. I charge 5k per slice."
"omg dats insane."
"No it isn't."
"ok whateva"
he trades, and I slice. 19% damage on his rifle. I didn't feel bad either.
I trade back, and go about my business. While waiting for the shuttle to arrive, he sees my spam again and the conversation is as follows:
"yo delste y do u charge so much? that's ridiculas."
When I first started smuggler, I was going to charge 100cp%, but after reading this thread I realized that that would hurt the community, so I charge a steady rate of 5k per slice, 10k when I master.
"I don't. Charging so little hurts the community and I don't want to do that."
At this point a few people agreed with me and a few argued with me, so I said:
"Look, you just paid 10k for 3 hour buffs, but you can't pay 5k for a permanent upgrade to your weapon?"
That shut him up really quickly, but not his friends. I boarded the shuttle to Dantooine and received /tells for about 5 minutes on how I'm ripping people off until I ignored them.
Not really a funny story but I never thought I'd get that many complaints like this thread let me to believe. Thanks for the great laughs and stories, guys/girls.

I got quite a funny story to tell...
Customer: Hi, I heard about you Mikargo - I want you to slice my weapons.
Me: Ok, heres my prices *advertise macro*
Customer: Ok heres what I need doing.
Me: Ok
Customer: Are they done yet?
Me: You need to trade me them first!
Customer: I have done - come on you must be done by now??
Me: I have had no weapons off you yet - click on trade.
Customer: I have done - come on you must be done by now??
Me: I have had no weapons off you yet - click on trade.
Customer: Dont be gay give me my weapons back now
Me: I seriously havnt got any weapons from you - you should know Im a honest guy.
This carried on for a while until it turned out that he had in fact traded his weapons to somebody else, and they had since done a runner with them!
Although that in itself can have a serious chance of splitting your sides with laughter the crazy part is still to come...
The customer attempted to blame me for not standing close enough to him and suggested I buy him new weapons...now THAT is funny!

Warning: this is TOTALLY meant as humor. I would never dream of being this mean and trying this, and don't endorse it to you either.
"Unlocking the Force Sensitive slot, the Smuggler Way"
CUSTOMER SERVICE TICKET 234684892834
During the jedi revamp, I suddenly found my jedi slot disappeared from the loading screen. Upon signing on as my original character, I got the messages intended for the jedi character about choosing jedi skills to convert, but then my client crashed. When I reloaded and signed back on, my main character was as it was, with no force sensitivity, and my jedi slot is gone. Please help. Love and kisses, FrancisUberPlayah
CSR_UncleErnie: I'm sorry to hear your difficulties regarding the jedi conversion process. I have checked your account history, but there is no record of a jedi slot available.
FrancisUberPlayah: OMG, it DELETED IT COMPLETELY? You've got to get it back! I had seven lightsabers, including one of the most UBERSABERS ever on there! Please help! And I had 20 million credits!
CSR_UncleErnie: I'm sorry you're having such trouble. We regret to say that there is no way to restore lost items that were on deleted character slots.
FrancisUberPlayah: *sigh* That's okay, I guess. I understand you've got so much to deal with in taking care of all the problems with the new update, and people all want their problems solved immediately. I imaginethey're real mean, too, because you can't do everything for them, and they don't appreciate how difficult it is taking care of all their troubles. I understand, man... I can make more lightsabers and earn more credits... thanks for all the hard work you've done.
CSR_UncleErnie: Please wait for tomorrow's server reset; at that time, your character's force sensitivity should be restored so that you can restart fresh. We apologize for the inconvenience, and thanks very much for your understanding and your kind words.
FrancisUberPlayah: No, thank *you*.
Snicker-snicker... heh.
I wish you could get force sensitivity unlocked for having a good sense of humor. LOL

Just had some fun with feign death in Anchorhead....
I try to be funny,but I'm not. I went up to a random personand said "I need your clothes, your boots, and your motorcycle." He didn't "get it," so he said "duel me for them," and I said so "if you don't kill me, I get your stuff?" and he agreed. So, he dueled me, I feigned death and let the good times roll. After about 10 minutes he told me to stop.
"dude your gay could u stop dat?"
"brb, getting a Mountain Dew and some food."
when I came back, he was yelling in the tavern, threatening to report me, etc.
"dude ill give u 10k to get up."
"100k? sure, that sounds great."
"no, 10k"
"nah, I kinda wanted to stay feigned. thanks for the offer though."
for the next 10 minutes he was threatening me, etc, until I finally put him on ignore.
oh, and I'm not THAT cruel. I only did it because he was insulting me earlier. it was fun, though.

Funny in an infuriating way: I could only sit and laugh afterwards.
Sporting my brand new Master Title, i waltzed through coro SP
Customer: "Hiya could you slice a piece of comp for me"
Me: "Sure no problem, its x creds per slice"
*Hands me a beautiful piece of composite armour*
Me "ok, here we go, pray the slicing gods are smiling...."
*My Jaw drops after a perfect 45% encumberance slice*
Me: "WOW, Congrats!, the gods are smiling, a 45% encumberance slice!", I proudly exclaim in spatial
Customer: "Ahhh crap! I wanted an eff slice! Thx anyway...."
THERE REALLY IS NO PLEASING SOME PEOPLE....

So I logged in the other day at the Jawa trading post. As I was getting ready to head out two guys showed up hoping to hunt some jawa's; and one seemed quite upset that he couldn't kill any of them. Now, I like the little guys. I have good faction with them and on several occasions the jawa's have helped me fight Rebels. 
Well, I chat with them a bit and one of them asks me to slice some weapons(the one NOT badmouthing jawa's).
Five slices later...
Me: Let's go with 20k for the lot. 18k if you can get your friend to say Jawa's are cool.
Him: lol
Him: 20k it is
Oh well, I tried!
Don't hate the Jawa's!

Whew…this thread's a long read, but worth it. Great stuff! My own contribution:
Smuggler-related, but not strictly speaking a smuggler story:
I was running the Nightsister theme park with a friend, and fairly often I'd get in mind trouble and have to take a hit of thrusterhead for a quick fix to get me through. It ended up that every time we'd get back to the mission-giving sister I'd be puking, and usually right on her shoes. Finally we get to Gethzerion and wonder of wonders, I've made it through a mission without spicing.
Friend: Hey, you aren't puking on her shoes!
Me: /puke
A smuggler story:
Background: I'm still working my way up the smuggling trees, while at the same time working on commando. I've only recently acquired feign, and I haven't really used it much. I decide I'm going to work on my faction a bit, so I head out of Theed running Imperial Destroy missions (that is, destroy the Rebels for the Empire.) I get to my first mission and set all the Rebels on fire, then decide to be lazy and simply feign and wait for them to die. So I middle-click (clear queue/feign macro) and watch the burning Rebels wander off confusedly, all the while thinking how smart I am…until I hear an explosion.
. o O ( Oh crap. Where did I leave my bike? )
*sounds of gunfire*
. o O ( Oh crap! I left it in the same direction that gunfire's coming from! )
*spams /stand trying to get up and kill the last two Rebels before they kill my bike*
Thankfully, the flames took them out one volley before they took my bike out…but what makes it really funny is that I'd lost a bike the night before to 6 Bolle Bol Stompers that decided that after incaping me, humping my bike seemed like a good idea. One bike lost to failing to pay attention to my brandy levels, another almost lost to feigning…and I thought I was hard on my armor.
