I'm sorry, but I found again how to make easy cash on crafting.
I hope you'll do something with it on next update, but:
I tested alot things, here's best results:
You need character with SG1 prof, then you can:
Craft Desert Eagle (Exp. Mag.) for 1 metal, 2 junks (1 for pistol, 1 for exp. mag) and 1 wood. Most vendors (the same, who were buying cartriges for 8 caps) will buy it for 550 caps. You can craft it very fast and alot per once, crafting CD almost nothing, like 2-3 minutes and upgrading deagle gives no CD on crafting, so, I think it's even better than cartriges before update, when it was required regular gunpowder!

Other way:
You need character with demo1 prof, then you can:
Craft Frag Grenades! 5 gunpowder, 2 junk, 1 metal. And you'll get 10 grenades, can't remember crafing CD. Each grenade = 104 caps. So you'll make 1040 caps per once. It's almost similar pre-update cartriges, but requires 2 junks, but gives on 240 caps more.

Also, why .44 magnum revolver requires on 1 metal part more than desert eagle, but it's price less on 70 caps?
And why not upgraded desert eagle has it's price on 170 caps less than upgraded, but for upgrade you need only 1 junk.

Can you calculate item prices/crafting requirements a bit more?

also few more suggestions with npc vendors.

Make them make profit, thats what they do in selling stuff. At least 5% difference between buying/selling price or something.

Make them buy deteriorated items for less even if they are in their items list. Its not fun to see that you bought tesla armor with 94% det for 5045$ :/

But in some instances deterioration is put into the equation.. Once I bought a mk metal armor 0% 2550 caps then i sold it at 40% det for about 1400 caps.... or so, my memory is foggy.

It's only for items in vendor list that prices are fixed, in your case metal armor wasn't.

Yup, quite right. Deagle had 1 junk instead of 1 alloy, Frags were meant to be produced in 5s for the same cost. Fixed on next update.
