That is absolutly crazy, I thought 11 million for a +6 was a lot. (another smith on our server won and decided to give it to me I had to pay the smith back but they gave me as long as I needed to pay them back so it was nice, the +6 was all I needed to get my 12 points.
Now the ROI (Return on Investment) for my tape at 11 million was pretty nice, took me almsot 12 weeks to pay them back, and I was able to still make extra money in the mean time. I had some SEA's myself that I sold to make the cash.
ROI on 100million credits IMO isnt very much, to me its obviously if the person earned the money without duping (dont assume someone with a lot of money Dupes, it is very possible to make over 100 million. I never have but the game has been live for a year this June, thats jsut 2 months away, an armor smith jsut needs to sell one suite of 500k composite a day for 10 months to make 150 million credits (not all profit I understand but most popular AS's sell 6-10 sets a day as far as I know. My guess is this person wasnt an AS themselves, maybe they had an AS investor, or a resource vendor investor.If they dont have to pay the investor back, then the ROI is amazing, but if it was their money, you still need a little bit, I find I need about 3-4 million credits a week on average myself, so if I get below a certain level then I start paniking.
Still 100million is a crazy amount of Credits, and if earned the hard way...a long time in the making. If this only took them to 115 then IMO it was a waste, but if it gave them 110 or 120 then it might have been worth it if they plan on continuing the trade for another year or so.

Geesh, 100 mil for a +5 WS experimentation tape? The only type of people I can think of who would spend that kind of money for such a puny SEA are credit dupers...to them money literally is no object.
