Not really a weaponsmith thing, but people are always offering stuff to my vendor, I get alot of junk that noobies make and 15 units of hide etc...
Just right now I'm looking at my powerup vendor and someone offered a powerup schematic for 1,000,000 lol
OMG lol as I'm writing this I notice a description...

I'm offering this schematic to you because it will sell at 30k/crate. Take the resource cost into account, then think about the amount of benefit on crate of p'ups confers on the user. One crate of pups will last an entire day on a melee weapon, or longer. I just watched a single TKM spend 8 melee pup's finishing Jabba's theme park in its entirety. The amount of expertise involved far outweighs other aspects of the over-head production. Buffs go for 15k for three hours. These weapon p'ups last about an hour eah, so, charging 3K for each individual one is not unreasonable, considering infaltion of everything else in the game.
If you are interested in some kind of partnership for greater profits, send me an E-mail, I'll improve business."
OMG I'm dying here

I got one last night:
Him: "Can you make me a VK?"
ME: "Yes, here you are 2.4 speed, 70-120 damage"
Him: "Oh I wanted one with 0 speed, make me one of them"
Lol

Dude: I'm lodging a formal complaint. You are sold-out of 1-Handed weapons and your prices are too high.
Me: Really? I just restocked on Wednesday. Why do you say my prices are too high?
<Obviously my prices are too low if I sold out that quick.>
Dude: I have other places to shop. Make sure you send me an e-mail when you restock. <walks out>
Me: I'll make a note of your name.
<right here on the ban list>
<later that day>
Dude 2: Can you give me 30k so I can buy Armorsmith stuff.
Me: No, I won't give you the money, but I will give a waypoint to a location where you can get the money very easily.
Dude 2: Really? There is a place that will give me credits?
Me: Yup. <e-mail waypoint> Go to this location. <no it is not the sarlacc pit>
Dude 2: Cool. Thanks.
<5 minutes later>
tell from Dude 2> I'm at the waypoint. It is in Mos Eisley and there is nothing here.
Me: Sure there is. What is against the wall of the building you are at?
Dude 2: Well I see a mission terminal.
Me: That's right. Have fun!
