Insanely angry about the GTN tonight...

22's drop like crazy for me, maybe it's not such a highly sought out market like OP thinks? Idk.

I've found that towards the weekend, the market seems to be flooded with people undercutting each other and tanking the market... There are several things a dedicated crafter can do here.

1) Buy up all the tanked items and reset the market at your own cost.

2) Send out many companions at level 50 for lower level mats and sell mods in the lower levelling ranges. I personally find that the level 13-14 items around the level 30 area, or towards the end of chapter 1 is a good place to sell items. This is when people will be fighting their first hard end bosses. Mods in this level sell well, and for higher prices than level 22 mods at end cap.

3) Keep checking the market to see which items are selling. Sometimes you will find blue items sell better than purples or vice versa. Try to sell items from various levels, and levels where there are fewer items listed. You can sell for higher this way.

Good luck =)

People powerlevelled on Ilum - and got lots of comms. They turned them in for enhancments.

Just an idea.

Your old market is gone. We're a couple of weeks from 2.0 and the current reality has changed. Adapt.

No, they are not!!!

The level 23 pieces for example only need marilite from treasure hunting gemstone crew missions which after spending around 5k on these missions you're bound to have at least enough for 10 enhancements. Other mats can be farmed from planets bar the gel suspensions which can be bought for 50 credits each. It's quite easy to craft a stack of these for under 2k a piece investment.

However you're not going to make much of a profit on them because a/ they aren't in much demand because they're cheap enough from comms vendors and b/ level 23 players simply wont have the cash to spend something absurd like 25k on a single blue low level enhancement, to me expecting that to happen is like daylight robbery.

The mods being discussed are not for level 22s, but rather are "Name of Mod" 22. This is for level 49 players.

Not sure if anyone has said this, but you should also consider that lvl 22 mods are pretty much useless garabage not worth the price of materials anyways? Can't equip them til lvl 49 and once you ding 50 you get free Tionese (lvl 23) stuff. And for companions you can just run daillies that reward them or weeklys that get you tio comms for lvl 23 stuff for them. Honestly, there shouldn't be a market for lvl 22 mods at all, they are boarderline useless as it stands in the game, probably why they are dropping like rain on Ilum. If you want some schems that will make you money r/e some Hazmat pieces and then sale those, at least for the next 3-4 weeks...

Good point. Just capped another toon. I did not buy a single piece of gear from 45 forward. There is no need when at 50 I get a full set of Tionese.

Once players got several lvl 50 toons and legacy gear came out, the market for 22's dried up fast, heck I dont bother putting anything over lvl 43 on my toons and once they hit 50 are in full Columni mods. Uaually just vendor off the toinese stuff. I even sell the 22 stuff at their base rate and some get returned, then vendor it off or RE it if I don't have the schematic.

Heh. You are right about that. I usually grab the Tionese anyway. I end up vending them in short order after I use my legacy gear to transfer mods around. This last toon will be in almost full BH with some Rakata right out of the gate.

The point is, I don't see much of a market for 22 blues.
