I have characters on 4 servers, and this is the way it is on all of those economies. Basically, you're making money from crafting crits. The augments are selling at or just below cost (1 aug price = 4 Thermal regulator price).
If you have a cybertech, you can actually make more on the slot kits. (to clarify, using the cybertech to make droid parts. Probably the cheapest way to get mk-9 kit parts)
