Shotguns. I buy shotguns for comps like Doc, because there are so very few decent moddable ones early in game, and really, at low levels, static pieces of gear are ok on comps. OTT, I can't see (aside from the aforementioned Vibroknives) too much market for static statted weapons.
As someone new to crafting, I can empathize a bit with the crafting side of the argument, however, seeing how a whole lot of crafters overcharge out the wazoo for items, I can also see the benefit of skipping crafters and just getting items from CM.
Seriously, the other day I put up a Level 31 Skill mod for about $20k, a competing crafter had his listed at 400K per mod. For level 31.
Yea, let that sink in a bit. Sadly, I see more examples of that on the GTN than not, and if I (as a customer) have the option to get something I want from CM, or pay some obnoxiously overpriced fee from a crafter...guess which option I'm going with.
I'm not quite that bad, but I definitely overcharge for some low-level droid parts. A big part of the problem is that the way GTN works makes it hard to have a good market. You can't tell where supply or demand is at, and it is a pain to keep stock stuff that often doesn't sell. I overcharge as a premium for the trouble, and I don't feel bad about it.
But I do wish that GTN was better. Maybe if people buying could put out requests for bids, in addition to the selling side they already have.
3.0 unfair to Armstech crafters
