Ok, I went colonel and want to sell the faction, looking around i see a guy selling for 110 FPP. I do not see how he makes a profit off this. here is my math, tell me if i'm wrong.
a guy wants 1000 faction
1000*1.777=1777 faction that i must purchase
1777*80=142160 thats what i pay for that 1777 faction
142160/1000 = 142.16 thats the price it costs to tip 1000 faction
142.16 credits per point is breaking even if my math is correct, so make it 145 or 150 to make a profit.
is Mr 110 FPP a DA who never did the math or am i wrong?

Your math is correct, but your variables can be better.
At colonel the faction delegate cost reduces to 1.117 (or something like that).
There is a stickied post about selling faction in the smugglers FAQ on these boards. It goes into breakdowns and costs for selling faction in much more depth. My guess is that the player selling faction for 110 FPP is a colonel of their faction.

i read it wrong
guide said 1.177, not 1.777.... numbers look alike
thanks for helping me before i looked like a jerk selling faction that expensive and criticizing him for selling that cheap
