sorry about that not sure what happened.
I'm in bestine dueling a guildmate for fun, a tell comes in requesting a slice. Being in combat, I don't notice it. I drop my guild buddy. /yay for the smuggler.
wannabe imp: do you sell fp?
me: sure
wannabe: can i have some, i need 200?
slicee (in tell) u gonna slice my weapon???
(me thinking: only 200?) sure 200 fp is 30k
me (tell to slicee) excuse me?
wannabe: how much?
slicee: sorry
me 30k for 200fp
slicee: well can you it's a vibro axe
me: i can, 7k a slice
wannabe: ok
slicee: is it randome cause i want speed (ok I got a good one here)
wannbe sponsor: you getting some wannabe?
me: yes it's random
sponsor: can you go lower?
wannabe: 200 fp isn't a lot
sponsor: how much does it cost you to buy fp?
me: 20k is my cost 10k is my profit
sponsor: so we pay you what it costs you
me: no, you pay me what I charge or no sale
wannabe: so what 10k?
me: 30k
sponsor: he wants 10k to give it to you
slicee: 7k?
me: that's what i charge
slicee: that'swhat i charge
slicee: let me run a mission
me: ok
me: wannabe, 30k for 200 fp, yes or no?
wannabe: can you go lower, if not i'll buy anyways cause i need it
me: i won't go lower is the difference ( i'm frustrated by this point)
wannabe: ok 30k it is
me: ok i'll need to declare, tip me 1st ( i'm not declaring unless i get the cash)
wannabe: now? (tips)
me: ok, one sec (declare) (delegate)
me: there you go
wannabe: thanks me: thank you
At this point i still need healing form the fight so i head to cantina. while in there my slicee returns
slicee (in tell) i'm ready
me: ok meet me in front of cantina. ( I step outside and get shot and killed before i know what is happening)
Me (in guild chat) i need rez in front of cantina
slicee: how good are your slices?
me: i'm a little dead now, one min
sponsor: where's whats his name?
my guildmate returns and does a shout for me; can any one rez?
sponsor spots my dead body and comes over: can you sell me some fp? ( the nerve of this guy)
me still in guildchat: hey can you tell this guy i'm busy being dead
a doc comes over, rez's me
slicee: where are you?
sponsor: how much for 5000 fp?
(now i didn't know that after rez you can't talk so i'm answering everyone)
i pop up and say: thanks doc, over here, 750k
wannabe: ur so unfair
me: who?
wannabe: u
me (pissed): find someone cheaper then
sponsor: wannabe, let the man do his job
guildee: that's actually a good price
me (still pissed): i just died because i declared for you! ( get shot again and fiegn) guildee takes off after the guy
slicee: where are you?
sponsor: and you are going to die some more
wannabe: i gtg
sponsor: we have a mission
wannabe i gtg now
sponsor: me to but i'm getting fp 1st
guildee returns: you can get up now he's dead
i pop up: ok just checking
guildee: lol
me: ok, sponsor, is 750k a fair price? (i'm dedicated to my job)
sponsor: can you go no lower? (he's still looking for a bargin)
me: actually i'd like to stop dying so i'm leaving soon
( slicee show up) still sending tells: hi ( i send a trade request)
sponsor: that means?
me: no lower on price and i'm leaving after i slice this guys stuff
slicee: do i have to give you my weapon to slice?
me: yes (we trade)
sponsor: first do you have any imp banners for sale
me: no i don't (slice)
slicee: how long will it take?
me: speed 20% (trade back)
sponsor: ok 750k
slicee: it's slower
sponsor: do i pay you now, how long will it take?
me: one sec (turn to face slicee)
me: it's faster, the speed is lower, so it takes less time to use
slicee: it says 3.5 instead of 4.4
me: right you hit every 3.5 secs instead of every 4.4
slicee: seriously?
me and guildee at same time: yes
slicee: kool thanks (ok one idiot gone)
me: ok sponsor, to the recruiter
sponsor: can we do this tomorrow, i have to log
me: not sure if i'll be on tomorrow (read as: i want this done now)
sponsor: ok i'll try you tomorrow then, cya
totals for the day: 37k creds, 1 death, 1 feign, 3 idiots
I'm never putting up my smuggler tag again

I feel your pain. The hard drive on my game machine completely died the other night. Luckily I have another machine to play on. It's much slower, but it's got a better graphics card. Hoping to have my main machine fixed soon, but it's gonna take awhile for the replacement part to come in.

Well... Today was the first day I actually wore my Master Smuggler title. Everything was quiet while I was hunting, right up until I was about to log off. Then someone asked me to slice his armor for him.
I wasn't not in any hurry, so I said sure. I told him my price (5k/slice) and he handed over his armor (except his chestpiece) and a shot of muon (maybe dropped it instead of his chestpiece?). Anyway, I started slicing, and he noticed he forgot the chest, so we traded that over. He was actually quite polite through this whole thing.
As for the slicing, I was amazed to get seven *good* (30+%) encumbrance slices in a row, followed by two reasonably good effectiveness slices. I was ready to trade back, and he said "oops, I've only got 20k". I'm in a good mood from high slices, and he was quite polite, so I decided instead of being a hardass (I don't really need the money), I just let it go for 20k.
I forgot to give back the muon, though. Oh well, I doubt he'll miss it.

Who remembers the time when Player Cities came out and we had that /citywarn were it gave them 30 sec to leave or get shot at? here one smuggler story from me
I get a /tell from a guild mate saying he refered a customer to me for some armor slices, ok i goes i meet em in city, i get to city and there are 2 Overt Rebels there waiting (i'm covert imperial) i /tell my mate "hey you sent me 2 overt rebs" "oh" he goes "i suppose you can still get business from em", i roleplayed
You 2 may be rebels but i'm a Smuggler i do business with anyone, now for the trading side gonan need to use my vendor, so we goes inside the mall to trade using the vendor anyway to cut the whole thing short i sliced em put em back in vendor and they paid up everything was done
Ok, now the business is done i'ma given ya 30 seconds to get out of my sight or i start shootin' (/Citywarn) they pause for a sec and go "huh?" they see the message and begin walking out gradually into a run and i end up chasing em across the border with my pistol, lol

Perhaps I should be more involved in this forum. I have really enjoyed reading this stories. I have one of many I would like to share with you.
Me: Standing around in Theed cantina, having my BF healed, responding to emails and tellhell
Goon: Hey, I have been looking for you for days. Imagine seeing you here. Soandso said you are the best slicer around and I need a really good damage slice on this weapon.
Me: Sure, it's what I do
Goon: It's a legendary Geo Pistol. I need 35% damage please. I will pay well
Me: I am sorry, I can't control percent or type of damage
Goon: Oh. Well what happens if you get speed?
Me: Then your gun will be faster.
Goon: Oh. But I really want damage.
Me: I really want you to get damage too. Do you want me to slice it? I charge 200cr per slice.
Goon: Yeah, ok. Trade please <trade, then kneel in TK meditation>
Me: Kneel and pray please.
Goon: What?
Me: It helps if you pray to the gods of slicing. They are very fickle to the non-believer.
Goon: What the f*** are you on about? Just slice it.
Me: Language please. I am a lady after all. And please kneel. You may not care about their wrath, but I certainly don't need it.
<arguing for a few minutes>
Me: I would be happy to give your weapon back to you.
Goon: Fine, slice it. Just get damage. <kneels>
Me: I told you. It is random. Maybe you should pray really hard for damage.
Goon: I am not praying.
Me: Ok, suit yourself
<slices>
Me: 35% <lucky slice, yey for me!>
Goon: Awesome, how much damage is it now?
Me: 35% speed, dear, you didn't let me finish. I told you to pray.
Goon: Ah ****! That ******* sucks! You did that on purpose.
Me: I told you, it's random. Besides, I would be happy with speed on a weapon like this.
Goon: Speed sucks. I want damage. Speed is useless.
Me: I beg to differ. This is a serious gun now <note: 1.4 spd, 319 Legendary geo pistol>
Goon: I don't want speed. Want to buy the gun?
Me: I already have some fast guns. I don't need this.
Goon: Prove it
Me: ?
Goon: Duel me. Show me why speed is better
Me: ... well, if you insiste
<Goon challenges. I arm his legendary geo>
<1 panic shot (pre nerf), groinshot, and last ditch later>
Me: I told you speed was good. And yes, I will buy your weapon. How much you want for it?
Goon through tell: No way! That was awesome. That gun is amazing. Thank you.
<sigh>
105 seconds later as he regains consciousness.
Goon: You are amazing. I am going to send everyone I know to you.
<trade, pays, and tips me too, nice, misdirected fellow>
Me: Really, please, don't.
<walks away>

Mystery Idiot: *in tell* hey there, do you own Kraytian Pharmaceuticals?
Me: Sure do. How can I help you?
Mystery Idiot: I just bought a crate of neutron pixie from you. There's something wrong with it, and I want my money back.
Me: *perplexed* Something wrong with it? (at this point I'm thinking...did I mis-label something?)
Mystery Idiot: Yah. It sux. After like ten minutes, the buff wore off, my character started puking, and my stats went down. Your stuff doesn't work right.
Me: Um, it's a temporary buff, with a downer. Thats what spice does.
Mystery Idiot: No, its supposed to be permanent. The doc at Mining Outpost told me so. Give me my money back.
Me: /ignore Mystery Idiot
