Please enlighten us to the best way to make money with bods.
How to make the initial money:
all depends on what you're into. i personally farmed bods with a bunch of smiths and sold them at a vendor and did the ones that gave gold hammers or higher. bronze hammers are also good. the bods for them are easypeasy and cheap, and you can make a vendor of GM bronze weps and have them sell for 2500 - 3000 gp each. thats up to 150k income. you can also do bulk orders for people liek factioners who cant quite afford the expensive ones.
if you already have money:
stock up and buy any bods that are cheaper than their fraction of the reward. say a gold hammer is 750k (was last i knew, who knows what it is now). if i find a peice of 20 bronze chain for sale for 100k, i will buy that in a friggin heartbeat. that will be an extra 150k in my pocket when i finish it.
How to sell bods:
get a prime location vendor. peopel who own vendor houses usually give vendor spots for free if you keep it stocked. they way i priced bods back when i played a lot was (reward value)/(numbers of sbods in the lbod)*1.1 . if you want to make money faster, change that 1.1 to a .8 or something. dont forget to advertise! make a psot on the selling forums every 2 weeks, and scan the buying forums for bods daily. you can also advertise the mall on the brit advertising bridge and afk gate (might get ganked though :-/). Just say "Gating to MALL! includes BODs, armor, kegs, and aother shit that owudl be at the mall. and since you already have a smith and probably got a bronze hammer from bods, you can also add bronze weapons to the vendor to make soem exctra cash
