Thread: So what sells the most?
The trouble I keep having is that, on one level, we've got too few colors (modern camos often have 4 or more distinct shades), and too dang many (so many potential 2-color combos!!!)
Here are the ones I've come up with so far (all more or less resembling real-world camo patterns of some sort):
Forest: Pale Green/Brown
Forest Night: Black Primary, with pale green
Desert: Tan and a darker brown, but not too dark
High Plains (basically a desert variant): Tan and black or a very dark brown
Jungle: Two shades of green, one in a "bright" green shade
Paratrooper: Two shades of "pale green"
Urban: Black and Grey
Winter: White and Black
And some "non-traditional" camo:
Air Force: (See http://www.af.mil/search/media.asp?mediaID=6892&mediaType=1):
Blue and white or grey
Ocean: two shades of bright blue - very attractive (albeit impractical!)
Ocean Night: Black and bright blue
Nightclub: Pink and Yellow
Suburban: Pink and Green
And others I haven't figured out even whimsical names for, like Black + Scarlet....
Still won't sell sunguards to rodians though, they just look... wrong with that snout.
I love this thread because since I don't have a lot of traffic through my store (yet, I'm remodelling and enlisting the help of a merchant now) I only stock the bazar with a limited number of items, and so I miss out on a lot that may be popular.
Here are my top sellers (I have casual 4 and field 3 so far)
cloaks
sunguards
thin striped pants
muscle t-shirts
bustiers (sport and light)
spec-ops dusters
spec-ops packs (just started selling these, wow, impressive sales so far)
wookie smocks
(wookie) heavy shoulder pads
wookie battle padding
pleated skirt
and of course the old reliable: military travel packs
Grrr, I've been asked about 10 times the last couple days about gunman's dusters, parliamentary cammos and bounty hunter packs (no thorium steel). Once I can make these three items I'm sure they will make this list as well.
The Decorative Vest combo'd with the reinforced workshirt, and reinforced pants make a
great combo as well.
Bindi, you left out one of my favorite paramiltary pants color! Flourescent Green (lightest new green) and Violet! I made a whole imperial pa wear those color once, hoping the rebels would be blinded when they pvp!
Roxzi, I keep people from buying reinforced pants myself! I mean it is the oddest looking pants in the game, flattens out my butt and widens it, gives me thunder thighs, I would never subject anyone to that lol
I sell purple and black the most, I think.
I encourage people to tell me what colors they would like me to stock, but some people are hesitant, they would rather browse what I have and pick things they like.
