This is getting insane. Since JTL I haven't been able to sell anything from a krayt DE-10 for it's crafting cost to beginner weapons. I even tried a blow out sale where none of my normal weapons were over 5k. I'm talking about high end stuff too like 600+ PH's and 1100+ LLC's. The stock just won't move. Has anyone got their sales to start picking back up yet?

Take some of the millions you have made and invest in a shipwright company. 
I did this a month before JTL and well it hasn't fully paid it self back but long term profits look nice

Just started a new account for this last week. Wanted the crafting bonus/RP of a new race, didn't want to reroll, and I couldn't spare the SP.I kinda feel like a sell out though.

I would expect things to be a little slow for now since JTL has been released. But give it some time, as most people will be engaged in that for a while (about a month or two). Then you should see things start to pick back up, and I imagine once things start getting close to the Combat Upgrade and afterwards then sales will start picking up again. Depending on what happenes to weapons crafting people will most likely have to change things out around that time.
So don't give up, its all about staying the course and hanging in there.

I seem to only have 1-2 customers buying grenades now, and the only other thing I'm selling is my selection of top-quality newb-level weapons I keep stocked on the bazaar for 6k. Sales on those actually seem to have picked up a bit. I just keep a backpack of 12 different crates in my safe deposit box in Coro and refill daily.

I agree the newbie weapons for people switching up or starting new chars has picked up a lot. I sell the low lvl weapons on the bazzar and they are gone within an hour or two. The only other weapons selling are 3.4-3.7 Power hammers. Well Scythe's too and with the geo caves being nerfed if you had lots of cubes and agents saved your money has multiplied big time. Combat upgrade will pick up business hopefully.

I have to say JTL has NOT in any way shape or form affected my sales. Why? because I didn't have any pre-jtl , but yeah it does seem like im not making much money, max 100k/day more if someone buys my nades.
