This is probably on the behalf of a large part of the community!! Appear more! on every server!! The Galaxy needs you!
You do not know what lurks in the shadows.

While that is a great compliment to the shipwrights out there, I have to say, one comment on your post stuck out.
For myself, I only buy components off people I know. One simple reason: While we might be able to buy a ton of stuff at 1.5-2x RE Level, there aren't a whole lot of people out there willing to pay that for an RE'd item. And the majority of things we get sold are merely "filler" items. No one in their right mind would part with a nice component for those prices. So the shipwrights get stuck with, for example, 30 level 10 engines, all having paid 20k each for them, none of them really worth RE'ing, and no one really willing to pay even 200k for the engine it would produce, and that would be just to break even. At 1.5x, it's still 150k. You could easily get a nice crafted engine that will have better stats on it for less, and that would even be allowing the shipwright to make a profit.
It's all about game economy. People would love to sell their stuff to us rather then the vendor, but they don't want to turn around and buy the stuff we make from it. So it turns up as a money sink for us.

I would gladly pay for some quality RE'd stuff on Radient if I could. The problem I see is thst server they are hard to find.

Only if you (and I don't mean you specificially, but rather pilots in general) actually buy the REd parts we sell at a high enough price to make a profit.
We have to make our credits from somewhere too, and buying resources that can't be turned into something that can be sold as a profit isn't good business.
