I guess you haven't actually read up on what different stats mean to different specs, or allowing for spreadsheets to take in price flucations that you can see from your own sold items to allow for a standardized pricing guide for yourself. Or, even utilizing listed prices to min max how much you put in. That was why I suggested spreadsheets, not for the 1-3 credit differences to know which was what, as certain stats are worth more, credit wise, to sell anyways.
I completely agree bugs should be fixed. Unfortunately, this is just what you said, an inconvenience. It doesn't break the GTN, or cause you to lose your credits in the mail. If it did, I would fight alongside you to get it fixed as hard as people are fighting to get the PvP on Ilum fixed.
But there are workarounds for this bug, and the majority of them don't cost as much time or credits as the OP cost himself in his own personal work around, which is what started this thread. There are far better reasons to fix this bug, from other posters, not the OP.
