Ok, over alot of the topics people have been wondering about the actual market value for resources. Before this Patch everyone sold there resources for what they thought it was worth. For me, Grind Resources were 1-2cpu, Average was 3-4cpu and high Quality was 5+ cpu. With this new vendor search option prices can be lower or highered and it will benefit the economy. When i was in resources selling I would sell things for under what others charged. People were selling resources with 700 OQ for 5cpu when I would sell it for 3-4. This will help everyone and I am happy SOE did this. If you have any comments or Concerns on this patch post it here so we can keep it in a centeralized location.

I like it, I thought the 3 CPU price for all resources no matter how good they are is more than a bit socialist. Market demand should dictate the price of a quality resource, and galaxy wide vendor search gives the means to find that info out.
I imagine that a few large scale resource vendors will become the "Dow Index" of resource prices and smaller vendors will adjust prices based on how the big boys adjust theirs.

As a resource vendor, I can tell you my strategy. Unless a resource is actively hunted for or of 900+ quality in at least one area, it is 2cpu. 890OQ/800SR steel? That's right, it's 2cpu. Since I'm working on an economy of scale, the potential loss in profit is more than made up by pure sales volume.

'quality and rare' resource values are not going to be affected. just the grind stuff.
the 'quality and rare' stuff will never change in value...unless you change it ...for no good reason.

err what patch ? With all the uproar that the vendor search caused when it was annonced IF it suddenly appeared WITHOUT notice and change. It would kill ALL the goodwill and more thatSOE have built up with over the last few publishs.
