this is what your corespondent is asking for vehicles on patch day

omg lol

hey ya can't blame her/him for trying. I got one person to buy one at 70k I was pleased.. but then i went down to 40k as soon as I realized no one would be getting many sales that high.

Go read a book on supply and demand.

hmm lets think about this, on Intrepid the night of the patch you could find quality vehicles everywhere with prices ranging from 30K to 50K, so enlighten me how supply and demand means you should start bidding at 200K and have a buyout at over 1 million credits. That is not supply and demand, it's just GREED.

Haha, this news is 4 days old now. FYI the guy who said he'd buy it I have an ok relationship with... so I'm not really offended it was him who "took" it.

All it really did was promote vehicles and add some fresh drama to the Intrepid board. (the whole Kastryn threads & such were getting old)

Please enlighten me on how starting bidding at 200K and having a buyout price of over 1 million credits, when on the day of the patch you could find quality vehicles (found a swoop with over 2300 HAM) on almost all vendors with prices ranging any where from 30K - 50K how this is supply and demand. That is not supply and demand but just GREED. So go read you book on supply and demand and answear my question smart@$$.

PLEASE read a book on economics. Greed is the motivation for the machanics of supply and demand. Smith's "invisible hand" theory of economics is SOLELY based on people acting in their own best interest.

Edit... btw we have 100 threads on vehicle pricing. Please post there and don't troll this forum.

oops connection kept messing up while trying to post

This is REAL black & white. You SHOULD charge whatever you think you can get, for anything you sell. Everyone should. AND equally, you should NOT pay more than you know is reasonable, if you do, you're an idiot. It's not people trying to screw players over by charging over 25K for any vehicle who need ridiculed...but the MORONIC TWITS who waste that kind of money on stuff that just isn't worth it.

NOTHING in this game is worth a million creds, except maybe a holocron & even then, you're probably either really lazy, don't have the play time you'd like (then how'd you get that kind of money?)...or else you just aren't real bright.

I will always have every single thing I wnt, when I want it, & never get gouged. Because I can always laugh at people who think they get to charge for their time outrageously, & get the same or better goods, elsewhere, cheaper. ALWAYS.

Sorry Vaedross, butI too see this as sheer greed, overpricing the market by so much is ridiculous in my eyes, and as Artisan Correspondentit is reprehensible. On Vehicle day there were so many running jokes by Artisans in our community that the humor was strained near the end. After all how many times can you quote 1.5 Million to every client who asks for a vehicle before you yourself dont find it funny anymore?

When your views on vehicle pricing are so far off from what the average Artisan considers reasonable, I have to wonder if you represent them at all on any issues, or if you actually present your own views over the consensus of players in this proffession. Judging by your 'Go read a book and quit trolling' reponses, I think you've been taking PublicRelationscourses from Plinka. To think you represent the Artisan community!

How does what he tried to sell vehicles for in a FREE MARKET ECONOMY have anything to do with his ability to report bugs, request new features based on consensus, and follow-through with the development team?
