Jade Spider AOE is ridiculous at 360' range. Oh man that was rough until we grouped under it and repeatedly healed off it. Then it was cake.

Nice work everybody! It was fun using my NRG blaster again.

[/ QUOTE ]Yes -- UBER rocking the Aura FTW on that one ... that spider WAS a tough cookie

I can show you something where you could pay more than the last 5, get an instant sale, craft, put it up for sale for less than the last 5 and more than double your money.

Last 5 recipes are selling for under 5 million, last 5 crafted are going for 15 million (13.5 after Went fees). I bought mine for 5.1 million and put the crafted it up for sale at 13.5- should sell quick, I'm under the "market price"- and if I get exactly what I ask for I make more than 6 million inf.

It hasn't sold yet, but that was literally a 5 minute transaction for me. Including the time to trot from the Steel Canyon Wents to the university and back.

Yes, there is a learning curve on the market, but once you put in a couple hours of learning, it's pretty quick.

I repeat: If you spend hours doing things at the market, you're doing the wrong things.

[/ QUOTE ]Truer words were never spoken. The key here is Fulmens is actually LOWERING the price of the IO he's selling...

I think there is a 90% I will be there ... I already preped the wife so she knows ... WOOT!

Let me get to 2Billion INF first ... then we can let them in on our ebil ways.

Maybe but damn it takes sooo long to do ... I spent 2 hours last night becuase the market is so laggy just to get about 1500 sales.

One thing I learned is the system is broken. I had bids of 10 pieces of salvage in 5 different slots @ 5 INF. On the other account I'd have 10 pieces of salvage for sale @ 1 INF. You'd think the buy orders would fill right away and in the order I placed them ... Nope! ... I had tons of partial fill orders or orders that filled not in the order I placed them. (Meaning an order placed in the middle would fill first).

Also, note this salvage piece had ZERO bids when I started "flopping".

Maybe it was just lag but it seemed broken to me.

What a nice guy Fulmens. I don't care what those ebil base builders say about the marketers.

Best of luck sir. You should consider giving your stuffs away as a prize for a contest or something ...

See you online tonight I hope

[/ QUOTE ] Yeah ... that's what I thought but wasn't sure if there was a prompt to get into the command line to type it ... like ~ in Quake based games.

One thing I have been doing is picking a level of profit I'm comfortable with and listing at that. I make sure beforehand, though, that that price point is below the current going rate. That way, I'm likely to sell first AND make more than I'm asking. Sure, I may get lowballed by someone, but I picked that price because it's my minimum...like an eBay reserve...so I'm never upset if I do get lowballed.

But yes, timing is everything. Salvage that was going for 1.5m all weekend is now going for 300k. I've been snatching that up like nobody's business. I'll probably wait until this weekend and post them at 900k-ish. They'll probably sell for 1.5m but even if they sell for 1m, I'll triple my money and I'll be fine with that.

[/ QUOTE ] I also noticed the huge drop in prices since the weekend. Glad I got some sales in .... but you really should up the ante and focus on IOs and not salvage. IMHO

[/ QUOTE ]
I have been, but the IO's I've been selling fairly rapidly haven't sold in the last 3 days. I've got some capital tied up there and once those sell, I'll move on to a different set for a few days. Actually, I checked this morning and won a 10m recipe for 4.5m. I could flip it or build and sell it for 15-20m. That should be fun.

But as far as salvage, I have been flipping one rare for 7m per stack, which is actually pretty decent inf per slot. I know it's not the big time, but until I have 100m in my wallet, not just tied up in orders, I'll stick with the slow and steady income. And besides, I'm not using many slots for that, it's more of a constant stream while the big orders lurk.

[/ QUOTE ]

Interesting .... I like where your heads at. I've got the same scenario going on as well with some of my IOs ... I *was* going to clean them out and place them up at reduced prices. I think instead I'll wait until Monday to slash those IOs that arent selling.

... and I'll think about your salvage idea...

Alright ... I'll post some shots tonight.

Anyone know how to take a screenshot in the editor at at the Tailor edit window?

Dual box'ing really helps with this ebil slot building ... I worked on it last night for about 20 mins and racked up 800 sales for each ... that was at selling at 1 and buying at 5

... wife aggro still unknown ...

Yeah ... I might start a strategy to do that. It all depends on the numbers but if having an extra slot alows me to place more bids and thereby make more money, I see the "Trade Slot NAO" strategy as an investment.

No worries, MB. I knew you were joking on the wipe.

It was just one of the instances where it was late, I was tired, I got a TP to the door and just went right in. I never saw what you said until I was inside. D'oh!

[/ QUOTE ] But it WAS funny ...

Please throw Flu-Shots in as a possible. Not sure how much wife aggro I've built up over the last few days.

There is a significant difference between Silver and Gold.
This wiki page (including the links for the Silver and Gold class tables at the faaar bottom) will help you.


In the wiki, the Silver Class table does NOT include the Pool B recipes at this time...only the Pool A (rare).
The Gold Class link takes you to the Rare Random Recipe page b/c the two are equal.


Which Class is better to roll in is subjective based upon wants, needs and how efficiently you can generate tickets.

[/ QUOTE ]

I've seen some fairly good posts that say if you roll bronze enough you are better off then rolling silver due to the cost/ % chance of a Pool A recipe.

[/ QUOTE ]

On average, yes, it appears that's the case these days.

I'd have to slice the data myself to be more certain, but that hasn't stopped me from rolling exclusively Bronze for the last 10-14 days.

[/ QUOTE ] Me too .... I just cant stand all the junk that comes with it.

Ahh ... I'll be playing Flu-Shots (as always) but I may miss you ... send me PM on the forums with the Vent info.

Nice!

I've heard stories of players using some sort of bulk selling strategy to unlock the powerseller rank ... not sure how they do it though ...

I'll look you up tomorrow night

Thanks for the offers. I'll ping both of you guys in-game later tonight or this week.

Okay so I decided to dump some tickets into bronze rolls since I have plenty built-up and I figured I have a better handle on what's valuable and what's not these days. I rolled 10 times, 25-29 range (L26 at the time of the rolls). I got some garbage, mostly meh stuff. Some of the stuff looks great on paper but doesn't move AT ALL. I crafted about 4 of them to put on the market and see what happens.

Basically I have these stupidly low-priced IO's sitting out there that just aren't moving. For a week they've been taking up space in my BM inventory and I've been pulling them to make room for more profitable ventures (I can have a buy order up and a sell order up for the same piece of rare salvage at 700k price difference and have both of them filling...lol!)

So my question really is, should I just delete these things? They're selling for like 0.5-1m inf, which is decent profit if they sell, but there's no movement on those items. I guess I learned a lesson for what not to craft in the future, but I figured they'd help SOMEONE. :-/

Should I just be vendoring all my bronze rolls if it's not something obviously uber like a Steadfast +DEF? Is there a middle-ground with bronze rolls or should I expect to "waste" 19 out of 20 rolls?

[/ QUOTE ]

I echo the comment to either delete it, sell it to a vendor (if you can) or use the alt toon strategy. Before you craft an enhacement make sure to look at the time of sales and number of outstanding orders. You may see a trend that trades are often days between or there is a ton of them currently being sold.
