Can someone please tell me the best place to sell the power I have harvested? I'm new to this, and so I'm not sure if the bazaar is the only option.

Thanks.

I sell through my own vendors but then I have Advertising III, I register the vendor under resources and give it a name that includes the word power. If you price it right you won't be able to keep in stock. Don't make the name too long or the end bit drops off on the map list of vendors...

eg. If you have the name "Blah blah blah blah blah Power" the power will drop off the end and no-one will see it.

Keep it short. Keep it simple. Keep the prices reasonable and you should get lots of sales. Everyone needs power.

Mainly three ways of selling stuff:

1. The bazaar - Very unreliable in my opinion, long load times (on my server atleast

) and it's not like premium auctions help you.

2. Vendors- Can be very reliable, often easy to build up a basis of customers who visit you regurlary

3. The tradeforums - Can also be very good, if you do a auction you might get some higher than usual prices, and get some nice advertisement for your store (if you have one)

Try go to a busy city and do a shout. If your price is good, there should be lots of people interested.

you should hook up with a miner in your PA and privide him with power at a really good price as long as he promises to buy all your stock..

also it depends on what type of power..

Radioactive is the best .. especialy if it is over 800 PE..

First off, what exactly are you selling and how much are you charging? I made a big mistake trying to make a business of selling wind when I was a newbie. Don't bother selling wind power or solor power for more then 1 cpu. Most people perfer to buy radioactive. Would your buy 1000 units of PE 750 RA (about 150 power units) or 1000 units of PE <100 wind or solar (1000 power units) for 2-3 cpu? If you really want to get into the power business, stick to solid radioactives and sell for 1-2 cpu.

Doh, im tired. that 150 should be 1500. Take the PE and divide by 500, that's how much power one unit of a power resource is worth.

750/500 = 1.5

Experienced players don't even use wind or solor for thier own harvs. A 80% concetration of PE 850 RA is much nicer then a 50% concetration of PE 100 wind.

Sorry, you may already know this stuff but I'm putting it here because I wish some one would have told me before I started working on artisan.

A lot of people try to judge the price of radioactive based on how useful it might also be to the medical professions.

The equation I see most around the forums is 1.5 * PE/500 which is basically 1.5cpu per harvestor power unit.

That generally puts the cpu for most radioactives just over 2 cpu and heads up to 3cpu as the PE gets really high.

It's all based on your server as well. For example, I could shout all day at a starport and not sell a thing. On the other hand, I sell exclusively on the bazaar and can't keep up. I also started by selling wind power. One poster said that didn't work. Well, it did for me. PE didn't matter one bit. I sold it for 2cpu all the time. Then I moved over to radioactive and still sell at 2cpu with no problems. I just got a large batch of high PE high OQ radioactive Im not sure what to do with yet. Might try the trade board for that bunch.

One thing I should point out. I'm not a full time power seller or anything like that. I only have 2 generators. I make the money so I don't have to worry about it all the time. I don't get really rich but I do make out just fine and never worry about money. I'm sure a vendor would be much more profitable if you wre really into selling the stuff. Like I said, I just do it to support myself so I don't have to do missions all the time.

You just have to learn where to sell the stuff. That I can't tell you. I'd rather not have the competition for my little corner of the galaxy
