I just found a bio engineer with crates of 17+ medical tissues for 36k! I did a little calculating and Id make a HUGE profit by just selling them on the bazarr for 6k. Needless to say they're selling out. Would this ruin the economy or something?

The disadvantage to pricing low (for you) is that people tend to buy way more than they need when it's low priced, leaving you burnt out. They also might buy up your stuff and resell it, gaining most of the profit for themselves.

I have to wonder if the guy selling the tissues mis-priced them with a typo? I can't imagine +17 medical tissues selling for that low. Although, if it were at typo and they meant 360k, they'd still be insane

geesh... keep the profits for YOURSELF and don't drop your prices.
Tailors are underpaid and underappreciated and yet we have to use the same skill points to Master our profession. Please do not "cheapen" the BE clothes, it is a good solid income for tailors.

THe only person you are hurting by cutting so low is yourself... sell em at 10k per tissue, or thereabouts. They will still sell, very well I might add, and you make upwards of 150k profit on the crate alone.

Ive tried Ive tried but no matter what I do I get no bussiness. I got 1 sale from spamming in the spaceport in C-net for 2 hours about custom clothing verses 6 sales off the bazarr. I obiously want to price higher but 6k is bazarr cap

Thing is any higher and it bumped over bazarr max and there are to many masters around for me to sell normally.

Sales go up and down though. I don't think I have sold anything off of a vendor in days now, but I have more than the usual number of special orders coming in. Don't give up! It could just be a lull in sales.

Find yourself a hot spot and drop a merchant tent.
I had some poor spots and some awesome spots... sometimes location can really help or hurt your buisness.

On Flurry I sell out of stuff at 10k per tissue faster than I can stock it. I even tried 15k for a while, and that sold almost as well, but I decided not to chance it and brought it back down
