How much do regular edition stores sell 110% speeders for? And how are you guys making money? Does it drop well enough you can get it by killing or are you basically forced to use the market to sell items to players if you ever want to get enough?
just do the quests and youll be fine money wise unless you buy a lot of stuff off the GTN. i have only sold the BoE "blue" quality items when i get them (for only 1k or so mind you) and have plenty of credits
Hmm, well that sounds a tad annoying, but I'll cross that bridge when I get there. Presumably you can gather and craft, then sell in an auction house to make money as well? Did this quite a bit in LOTRO and frankly made tonnes of money doing it; was much better than grinding through mobs for coppers and gray items.

You shouldnt have money issues as long as you keep on questing and arent buying tons of stuff on the GTN or from vendors. Just make sure to do all the heroic 4 man quests...they give good rewards, especially the range items which i still have a few from earlier levels that i just keep upgrading.
As for the cash up to 25 i just saved for the most part and had probably ~60k. now i am running two companions on gathering/crafting missions while i play as the missions/items take a good 15-20 minutes each now. They definitely start as big money sinks since the missions are pretty short time wise. but now in the 20 minutes a mission takes i've made back the 700-1k in credits it costs from mobs. I've honestly just crafted an item, then reverse engineered it. you get some mats back as well as a chance to learn new recipes. i usually do 20 "levels" of synthweaving then go train. (usually train when i ding). After i train everything i usually drop 30k or so credits. but i also am sitting at around 100k at the moment and usually make it back pretty quick.
i'd say for the "core" part of the game and just leveling and being self sufficient you can do just fine making credits from mobs and quests. And by core i mean for skillls and crafting skills. Once you start tossing into purchasing from the gtn or vendors then you might have issues.
i've found auction and private trade prices to be quite reasonable so far. the auction searching is a little glitchy, but slick like the rest of the game's ui.
Part of the prices is everyone i new and poor lol. Prices will start to rise once more people get higher levels and people have the credits to really afford items. Now is definitely a buyers market IMO
i personally hate the GTN ui. Unles sim doing something wrong you cant just search for an item by name. but you have to first go through item Type, Then Item use (ie light, med, heavy armor), then you can search by name. If i know the item i want to sell/buy i should be able to just search by name alone >.<
