It really does feel like the prices on these have been coming down, but I don't track them very closely. It takes a long time, but we are now seeing people selling AM generated PvP (custom level, even!) for 2bn. I don't have the patience to roll my own, but then again, I don't have a character I need to twink badly enough to spend a couple of bn inf on them.

I'll be happy to lend you the 30mm posting fee, interest-free, for a week or two, if you want to sell it in the marketplace. If it is selling for 700mm, then you should have no trouble selling it at 600mm. You might even get more!

Also to OP, keep in mind that there are a TON of people pursuing the crafting accolades. Thanks a lot of supply for common IOs and not a ton of demand, particularly for the less popular types (Intangibility anyone?) and levels (level 20-25 in particular is a spot where the improvement over 15s doesn't justify upgrading and SOs are right around the corner).

This is also part of the game theory nature of selling in the marketplace. If there are a lot of other sellers in the market, you really don't know at what price they are offering. So people offer at low levels hoping that bidders see the pricing history and place their bids at the recent prices.

Then there is also the "Sell it NAO" crowd who craft something and throw it on the market at 1 (or 5 or some other relatively low number) just because they want to insta-sell. I love picking those people off!

Sweet, you are the first example I've seen of doing this. Power to you!

Hmm, does this meant prices are coming down on these? I haven't been following.

Completely off topic, but right now Outlook on my reclaimed computer is telling me:
"Receiving 93 of 2298". I might take a little longer coming back than I thought.

I was thinking (surprise!) about the cap and I would posit that having a cap helps to keep the ebil marketers in check.

I mean, if the cap were 10 quadrillion, wouldn't the "rich" try to get still richer, at the ultimate cost of the poor casual player? With the hard cap and the logistical limitations of storing value in excess of the cap, I would argue that this is a disincentive for amassing wealth just for the sake of amassing wealth.

Now, when we find out that 2bn is the cap for prestige as well, boy I'm gonna be angry!

I've gotten Field Crafter on two toons, but both of them use the benefits for the crafting table more than anything else. Which saves, um, thirty seconds from going to base and crafting. But those are THE BEST DAMN THIRTY SECONDS EVER!

If you could sell crafted IOs in blocks of 10, then I'd probably look to craft more common IOs for a living. But mostly the lack of slots prohibit it.

I figure that if any of my characters need common IOs, I can almost always bid garbage prices on crafted IOs and end up with a block of 10 within a day or two. People always dump them. Then I slot what I need and offer the rest at whatever price I bought them for and I usually sell them for about 10x more.

I think you can make a living out of crafting common IOs, but it feels a little like digging ditches to me.

I'm looking forward to getting back to the 88s tomorrow (my graphics chip on my motherboard on my laptop is fried, so my big boy computers are getting shipped up tomorrow!)

What?! I still make a little money.

There's a lot of nice QoL issues resolved in I-19. My only concern is that it continues to make the game easier and easier. That's not really a problem (heck, you can turn on +4/x8 early enough), but since I had to walk twenty miles to play CoH back in the day, in the snow, uphill, both ways, these new whippersnappers won't know how much harder it used to be

I get a kick out of the fact that rather than run from the upper corner of the TI map to Citadel (less than a minute), I'll zone to Ouro, then zone to TI. Can an insta-teleport power to any zone in the universe be far off?

I've been having trouble with this as well and can't find a consistent pattern to it. I only see this with sell orders, never with bid orders. What seems to be happening is that your stacked (I never have this trouble with single items) offer is registered, you are charged your listing fee, and it is posted at (000) per item. Then, sometimes those items sell, and sometimes they do not.

At first I thought it was lag to the market server, but reposts don't work that often (I get same result). Some of my working theories as to why this happens, all of which are probably wrong:

-If there are no outstanding bids on an item
-If there are no outstanding bids other than yours on an item
-If any outstanding bids are less than your offer price
- You are a profiteer and the market hates you.

None of these seem to apply to your wife's case, so I'm going to have to go to the basement and work on a few more conspiracy theories. If anyone else has noticed a pattern here, pipe up!
