I've seen a lot of people posting 2 hides on the Bazaar... Why? And would try to sell it for 100 credits each. Are these people high? You can hardly make anything with 2 hides, when collecting bones here's a logical advice sell natural resources in bulk, its not a new concept.


Do you ever buy rice by the grain?

Hmmm, good point, by the way my character is constantly eating, if I'm not eating I'm to busy swatting some beastie so I can eat it.

Becasue there's no other way that I know of to get rid of scraps and loose junk you find around.



The "Junk Dealer" only buys truely useless itmes, not extra grains of rice or newbie weapons. So when you get done with them, the only think you can do it put them all on the auction net, or destroy them. I really hate destroying stuff. I'd rather sell it for 1 credit than destroy it!

mmm you do know that putting an item on the bazaar costs 20 creds? and therefore putting something on there for 1 cred would net you a grand profit of minus 19.

Um, if you have a couple of hides left over why not just hold onto it until you get more? Stick it in your safety deposit box.

Personally, I sell junk in order to exploit the ignorant, lazy people in the game. Someone gets a new schematic, need hides, goes to bazaar cause its easier than asking around. They pay 100 cause they are anxious to make their new item. They deserve to pay ridiculous prices.

Hairdressing rebel has brought up a very good point. The Bazaar is not a safety deposit box you use 20 credits for each item you post plus you have a limit of 25 items. Why not just destroy it or give it away, exploiting the desperate is a choice strategy but will only work in the beginning when the market is still not saturated. Plus you just spent 20 credits that could have been spent wisely.
