So, I build up my smuggler
I make it to spices 4
I make muon
I get enough for a factory and some resources
I do a FULL run of muon (40 crates)
I put 25 items up in the bazaar
...
...
NO SALES

So much for money.

Selling on the Bazaar. That's your first problem.


Sell in mass quantity, from a vendor. The Bazaar sucks.

bazaar sales work only in populated cities if at all.


best is to place a vendor in or near a good weaponshop. that also offers the oppotunity to sell some presliced stuff.

well, been selling crates for 8k, so half crates for 4k
I have a vendor, thats only had one visitor, but i suppose thats because its on tat (ahazi)
The bazaar sales had been great last week, muon would be gone in a day or two. But after brandy...

I still sell a good amount of Pixie, but hardly any Muon anymore. Then again, with Vasarian Brandy, I dont use Muon anymore.

I usually sell mine in crates of 5 or now 10 with the bazaar limit raised to 6000. They seem to go over very well on the adventure planets, at least on Bria anyway--Dath outposts, Dantooine, Endor, Lok. Next time you're out hunting, resource gathering or whatever, check the prices on the bazaar in places like this. Then come back later with a few crates, break em down & dump em onto the bazaar. Just a few tips from cousin Jimmy. Good luck.


PS--when you drop off the crates, if you have Slice 4 as well, you can usually make good money slicing weapons & armor at the outposts, helps ease the sting of the travel costs.



To Do List:
[ X ] Master Smuggler profession
[ X ] Buy JTL so I can have a personal spaceship to Smuggle goods
[ ] Wait until Smuggler Revamp to be able to actually Smuggle well, ANYTHING.
Well, SOE? I've done MY part.

Drop individuals on the bazaar with info to your vendor.


As for Brandy killing the market, I've seen no such thing yet. One reason might be some of the samples of it I've seen. Brandy that was +263... I did a double take. Barely HALF of a muon buff, albeit for just over a half hour instead of a few minutes but still...


I didn't buy any of that stuff though I'm still itching to try out those xp boosting munchies... Maybe Monday when I'm off.

I am complete opposite of you. With Vasarian Brandy, I am more inclined to pop muon. The downer barely effects me at all now so I take muon on a steady cycle

Thats what I hear, however I dont know if that will apply to people who already have the vendor or to people who get the vendor after the next publish then try to drop artisan. So if anybody knows please let me know.

Well, I know a lot of people hate the spams that go out at the starports. I do too at times. Though on Bloodfin I made a nice spam that doesn't do s cylcle so that people can not pin me of spamming without cause.. It's simple, spam a message that has to do with slicing and selling of spice. This way, you can get multi offers and touch a wider range of people.


Another good key would be to travel and get to know other people and towns on each planet. I know for me that my name has gotten through a bit and I get tells from people I have never talked to.


The downer to all this is that I usally carry 20 crates of Moun Gold, 3 crates of WUKs, 3 crates of AUKs, and 2 crates of knifes, and about 3 to 4 crates of MClamps on me at all times so that I can slice really anything and help out with any need that people might have.


Also, since I am doing a little more travel I do hike the price up a little to cover travel, but hey, I'm coming to people were they would have to travel to a vendor out of town.


What does this all mean, target the spaceports. I do agree though, with the brandy that is out, Muon Gold is not much of a wanted product thus the market is saturated and we no longer have full control of the mind buffing market.
