No don't bank em. That's the problem. Hoarding for no good reason. Sell the dang resources, believe me if your price is anywhere close to realistic people will buy. I can pull up a lot fo junk resources for about 1cr per so ofcourse I'm not gonna pay 10cr per. I will however pay 2cr per for those to same me hassel. If I am pulling em for 1cr per then the "miner" should be doing the same. Net result 100 percent profit to the "miner". For stuff that pulls slower I'd pay 3cr per and maybe more depending on my need at the time. As an architect having a firm grasp on what it costs to pull the resources, when i see a sane price I grab whatever I can from people sellling. If you want to make 1000 percent profit then ya forget it and fill your bank box.

[quote]You can't sell waypoints. At least at as a miner, I wouldn't be stupid enough to buy them. The resources will always change, so you will get screwed over and have to look elsewhere. Miners are better off just scouting on their own.[/quote]

Sure you could, you just need to verify the sellers integrity, once is all it would take to lose that trust but if I made friends with a combat surveyor/miner it'd deffinitly be advantageous.

Hell I just found Quadranium and sell 40 units for 3k on the market.. you don't think some metals deserve a miners finding love? For the quality I'm looking for, you darn tootin.

Thank you everybody for your input. It is very valuable, and I hope other aspiring miners see this thread and take to heart the things you all have said. I will definitely keep in mind the good points you made about pricing and quantity. Thank you again.

I haven't had that much of a problem selling them for 4-5c/resource and the rare ones 6-7c. No they don't sell instantly but 3000 mineral off the bazaar isn't too bad in a day.



Weapon/armorsmiths are the best bet. Weapons sell a lot better than buildings. They also require a lot more different minerals. A house takes 3 different types and 1 type needs like 18 of it. When something gets 10 of something and 50 of each then it takes some time getting all those. So then they will pay for the resources.
