Thread: Selling DNA samples
There's been a lot of threads on this, and every time this comes up there are some BE's who say they would purchase dna samples if given the opportunity, but I guess the problem is how do you market them?
In terms of DNA quality, for the most part it's completely unimportant except when the dna is what I'd call a "specials donor" or a "ranged donor" in which case it's very important. But when you're talking about something like Merek Harvester dna, generally that is used to make tanks, so what's important there is the "health" and that varies a *lot* from sample to sample. Some MH samples have as much as 750 health, which some have under 700, and that is mostlyindependent of the quality of the sample (it has more to do with the creature you took it from).

I was going through my various inventories this past week and I realized I have way too much junk. Especially DNA, lately I seem to be acquiring way more DNA then I can conceivably use.
So, I was wondering if there's a market out there of BE's looking for DNA samples? Like Merek Harvester, I have almost 50 samples of AA, HQ, and VHQ of that alone. Voritor Dasher, Prowling Gurreks, Mereks Death Head, Young Malkloc Plainswalker,etc etc etc (No Rancor DNAyet though). I personally do a lot of hunting, and if I see some interesting creature walk by I'll stop what Im doing and grab a bunch of samples, regardless if I need them or not, lol.
Any feedback would be appreciated...also wondering if only the VHQ samples would be of interest to sell or the AA and HQ ones too. Thanks folks,
