Not really. I have 8 harvesters (5 on steel, 3 on aluminium) and i sold four vehicles yesterday. That was enough to run those harvesters for the next 100 hours which is plenty time to harvest enough resources to make 10 vehicles.


I'm making a profit and sustaining my harvesters. Why is that wrong?

Hey... what's wrong with selling your BEST vehicle made with the BEST resources (or close to it) to the highest bidder?


Nothing. . . the problem is you set the minimum bid at 200K and the buyout at 1.5 million.

Same here. I sold it at the price I planned from the start.

5cr per for first few hours, then 4 and finally stocked the vedor at 3cr per.

Seems like everyone else had same idea since that was the price people were selling them for all night.

Occasionally there were some who wanted to undercut or gouge but they moved on pretty quick.

All in all pretty good day unlike the Mount launch.

Ofcourse vehicle no-store ruined everything but thats separate issue

I was using 600+ SR copper, 950+ SR Steel on a 41%Station and got 91% vehicles. Not a big problem to sell at 6cpu on Corbantis. But there are those that are selling for more and some for less. 6 cpu is the best price if you getting 2k+ HAM vehicles, it is easy to get Master Artisan and many will be joining us soon. But at the same time, customers know where to go for the best price and best products.

whoohoo, made about 1.5 million yesterday. Got up and checked the chat room before work and I saw that the patch was supposed to be in and then proceeded to call into work and tell my boss that I was working from home for the day.


I had Bestine covered solo for most of the day and sold at about 7cpu....

Bria must be the server of cheap-skates. Had a hard time selling at what I wanted. Did end up selling most vehicles at 4cpu+ if you don't count the ones I donated or sold below cost for PA Members.


I just don't get some of these people who sell for below cost. Oh well their stupidity.



Ho...

I did well to. Sold about 40 vehicles in Kadaara on Sunrunner.


For the guy who said that newbies can't afford the prices posted, **edit** right they can't, and they shouldn't, this is the way it goes in all RPG's online or not, when you're new you're weak and poor and you have to show commitment to make it.


By the way 1hour of running artisan missions from Moenia to Deja Peak makes you around 20k, so i't can't be that hard......


Ever played Ultima Online?? I took people months to afford a house and stuff.

Yeah on bloodfin there were people for selling around 3cpu I will wait until tonight to see how things are. There were so many parking lots that a lot of people steered clear, Im hoping that all the people that sold at 2cpu or below have sold out or will soon. If not no big deal Ill just put the reources on my vendor and let the credits come in without any hassle lol.

Np... but did get flamed to hell and back on the auction thread. Then a respectable miner said he'd buy it.

A brand new newbie can make 1800cr in 10 minutes doing surverying missions, That's 10k per hour. More once you get good at it.

It was possible to sell at a decent cost, if you had high quality bikes. My shop sold about 50 vehicles, priced around 6-8cpu for 91-93% ones. Just to test the market I also made a few 97% with some good old resources I had and priced those at20cpu, and they sold within minutes(allthough I probably could have sold the resources used in those for more). Overall I had fun, and alsomade a profit over whatI could have sold the resources for.
