On the whole, the low-end pistols are the rage with majority of pistols sold being D-18's. Next largest group is tied between FWG's and Scouts at 15% each, but 51% of pistol sales were the D18.
Rifles and Carbines follow this trend with DLT-20 Rifle and DH-17 Carbine being the overall sellers for these categories.
In the Melee department, it is an even split between Gad Batons and Knuckles. The Stun Batons barely register in sales.
Medications and spices are not really viable items for this listing, since meds are more a hobby of mine than a main focus, and I am sure that anyone concentrating on making Good Medications or Spices will have a much larger return for these goods. With the shoppe within eye-sight of Jabba's though, it has always seemed a good idea to have Some sort of medications and buffs for sale <grin>. I expect Armor would also be a seller down here in Wayfar, but am waiting to see how the Naboo Division of BrokenDrum Enterprises works out before moving Armor to the Tatooine Division, even though Bambi insists she would look so much hotter in an armored bra (Metal Clothes ?? It's a tuff hide Dosh Female thing I guess).
I agree, noobs seem to be the only ones interested in the D18. However, everything is relative to your server. About 50% of the merchandise I sell is Munitions (C12 and C22 Grenades). I cant make them fast eneough. Even though my shop is in a player city where approximately 30% of the inhabitants are Commandos, 50% are Artisans of some kind, and the other 20% are novice combat or novice BH professiosn.
Pistols always sell well. For me, other than munitions, the DH-44 and the FWG5 are themost wanted. Next to that is Laser Carbine, but that comes in spurts.
Howdy;
Oh, I know the answer to this one. I am CONSTANTLY explaining to folks that Un-Certified means ALL can use the weapon.
I don't think THAT is as much General Knowledge as most people may imagine.
The word gets around and Republics get sold. Until then I think D18's will be hot sales. Always keep 8-10 on the vendor myself. AND same number of republics, heh - for those who KNOW.
I made some specialty high-accuracy D18s, mainly for kicks. They sell occasionally, but my regular D18s barely move. Same with the scouts. Pretty much the onlypistols that move quickly are DX2s, Rep Blasters and FWG5s, at least in my experience. I sell a fair number of scatter and launcher pistols, too.

Ok did he just say that EVERYONE can use the republic blaster? I thought it was just a pistoleer weapon.
Welcome to last october.
Since the cert was "fixed" everyone can now use this fine pistol that can beat a rifle on long range accuracy.
Add some tissue and a dmg slice and you have the best all-round weapon in the game.
