Vitogenovese,


I really like your train of thought. Althought I am a credit hound I just can't find it to treat others unfairly. Especially when I already have anything onhere that credits can offer. Although I may not be rich by some standards (maybe 350mil) it just isn't worth it. In turn for his services I will do what I can. If everyone thought along these lines then the game would be much more favorable IMHO.

Tell them what you can sell them for and you'll give them a percentage of the sale. Then in the future more of their friends may bring more items along. Lo and behold, you are a REAL merchant.

I would rip anybody a new one who offers tools for more than 1k to my vendor.


I am angry enough to smash those peoples skulls in a wall.

Interesting. I always wondered what good money would do me anyway. Lets see, what could I possibly want to buy, assuming the house burned down overnight:


a decent gun: 2M


a backup gun: 2M


an ADK for the first gun: 1,5M (although most of you rich guys should have one or two of these babies as a vet award anyway)


another ADK for the second gun: 1,5M


A BARC: 4-6M (assuming you didn´t buy the total Experience)


maybe a spare BARC: 4-6M


a suit of armor:1M - 4 M (???)


a fancy spacecraft: 1M? 2M?


some housing: 145k/house



That would be about 23 M total. Now call me a total n00b and say you spend double that much on real high end stuff. Would still be only about 46 M. Am I missing something here?


Yeah, I saw an auction for a Mandalorian Helmet for 175 M today, but to be honest, if I had one, why would I sell it? Personally, I get along with a decent gun off the rack for 38k (*gasp*), which I can equip with a little power up and simply replace it once it has decayed to rubble, a customized(in regard of color) suit of composite armor for 142k, a swoop (yeah, I would love a BARC) for 20k and a decent house to... well... place some of my trophies and vet awards. If I ever finish that Ace mission, I plan to shovel my creds over to Tomo for a decent YT-1300, but frankly, that´s it for me. On the plus side, I never have to wear that Master Smuggler Tag and deal with clueless customers. I prefer to spend my spare time as I see fit. I want to smuggle, not to be someone´s slicing (female dog).

Where do you get ADKs for 1,5M? Please tell, I want to buy a few from him, and maybe sell a bridge near Theed to him...

Well, that´s just the price as I remember it from the Starsider Trade forum, but I admit that I could very well be way off here. Frankly, I've never once crossed the 1M line so far, so this is all rather theory for me anyway. As for the bridge, its a nice one!

You all are crazy with your "smuggler with a heart of gold" crap.


Moments like this I have to take a deep breath and look down at my WWJD bracelette -- What Would Jabba Do? Take the gear! sigh deeply and part with the 100cr/piece as if it was painful to you.


Wanna help your "conscience"? Have it removed! Ok.. think of it this way. That's the price he was offering and agreed to in the future. Obviously he doesn't feel bad about selling it for that much -- you shouldn't have a problem paying that much.


one more thing..... this is a game! you're role-playing! You're not really ripping someone off. You're not depriving anyone's family of food and he's not risking getting evected b/c he can't pay his bills. I'm sure you're a good and honest person in RL. That's what makes RPing a greedy smuggle when it doesn't hurt anyone so much fun.

Yeah, not arguing this, butstill, I wouldn´t want someone who is apparently either rather clueless or generous to feel ripped off. Maybe I am a bad roleplayer after all...

Depends on what role you're trying to play.
