Is it more profitable to put crafted items onto Auction?

Question

I've now got my crew skills and I am crafting items to level it up. Now that I have access to the Galactic Market, would I be better off putting the items on there than selling them to a merchant?

I think that because they are still low level, starter items, there isn't much point.

Has anyone sold much stuff on the Market yet, or is it still too soon?

Answer

From my experience, it is more profitable to use the Market. The default price is 450% of the price you get from vendors and most of the items I tried to sell at that price did actually sell.

My character has the Biochem/Bioanalysis combo and I was selling mostly Bioanalysis resources that I had too much, but some crafted Biochem items too (like Hyperneural Resolve System).

Keep in mind that the Market has many disadvantages too: its kiosk can be far away, you don't get the money right away and you have to pay deposit to create the sale (which you get back whether the item sells or the time runs out).
