bah...the market is ran by all of us players....there is room for all of us to make money.
On the dark side of the coin (CoV) there seems to be a trend on selling as the servers go down for maintenance. Everyone is about to quit out so they get on the Black Market to hock all their ill-begotten goods. You can probably get some good deals at that stage. You can also sell some salvage for a better price as people want to create their new shiny IO's before they have to log. I could be wrong about the deals you can get but there definetly seems to be a lot more wild market fluctuations around thse last 20-30 mins.
Anyone else notice this?
BTW: I have found i get the best drops from farming LB in RV with a heavy. Its hard though if your squishy and you have heros take an interest in your activities 
[u] **UPDATE** [u]
(7-10-2007)
I know some people have held this a secret for a LONG TIME until as of recent....peterpeter has discovered a little known trick that some of us have already uncovered BUT chose not to post in the forums. Basically it boils down to this...When you sell off Common I/Os in a respec, you will recieve the full amount it would normally take to craft the I/O, basically anywhere from 90k-400k per I/O. Now that this is out in the open....I have decided to add this into my guide to help out others.
[u] VETERAN RESPECS AND FREE RESPECS [u]
1) Create a new Hero/Villain alt and level it up to lvl 3.
2) Go to WWs and place lowball bids on lvl 50 crafted I/Os (Common I/Os not Set I/Os)
3) Get a full tray of I/Os in your enhancement tray. **This may take some time to get full trays...Place low bids and check up a few times a day, when full...proceed to the next step.)
4) Now....use your VETERAN RESPEC and Sell off all I/Os you bought for very cheap at WWs.
5) Take your profits and have a friend/SG mate do an Influence Transfer to your main Hero/Villain.
6) Rinse and Repeat as many times as you want.
TIP: If you have say....5-10 open slots on your main server, Roll 10 alts and set em all up to do this. You will get around 1-3 mill per Respec per Alt. Getting an alt to lvl 3 takes what....5-10 mins?
Roll em, Buy I/Os, sell em off, transfer to your Main.....
I hope this helps anyone seeking a get rich scheme because......THIS ONE REALLY WORKS!
Question....how is a level 3 going to slot a level 50 enhancement?

You don't have to slot them. It puts everything in your inventory into the pool for slotting after the respec.
As an example, today I took 2 new alts to lvl 3. Now here is the funny part.
Just for giggles, I sent out a broadcast saying: "Anyone have 5000 influence they could spare a poor white guy?....I will return the influence owed 10x within the next 10 minutes"
A fellow hero under atlas broadcasted back and said: "Ill take that challenge!"
So he gifted me 5k and I said: "Be back in 10 mins flat"
I went straight to WWs and opened up the Crafted I/Os page and went straight to the lvl 45 Common I/Os. I scrolled down to the "Disorient Duration" I/Os....Selling for 300 a peice.
Bought 8 for 300 and 2 for 350...A total of 3100 influence. I then headed straight for G-City to cash in my first Vetran Respec.
Boom.....An instant 1,734,000 influence. Ran straight back to Atlas WWs and bought 10 more of the exact same...all for 400 inf this time for a total of 4000 influence.
Went back to G-City and burnt my 2nd respec....Boom....Another instant 1,734,000 influence banked.
Then I ran back to Atlas to repay the good willed hero back his 50,000 influence I promised him.
I finished in under 9 minutes doing both respecs. With leveling my alt up to lvl 3, It took me roughly 12 minutes to do so. Overall est. time: 21 minutes to profit over 3.4mill **I rolled a fire/energy blaster**
After that run, I deleted him and rerolled again. Respec'd 2 times selling the exact same I/Os as the first 2 respecs. 1,734,000 influence both times again.
Grabbed an SG mate and transfered to my lvl 32 Fire/Energy tanker and was over 6 million influence richer!
This can be done very easily...You just gotta take that little time to do it. Badgers and Crafters stock up WWs with these I/Os and sell em cheap....Take advantage of it.

This is THE BEST guide I have ever read on the fourms. Especially this last post.
Thanks for this! 
Blazara Aura LVL 50 Fire/Psi Dom (with 125% recharge)
Flameboxer Aura LVL 50 SS/Fire Brute
Ice 'Em Aura LVL 50 Ice Tank
Darq Widow Fortune LVL 50 Fortunata (200% rech/Night Widow 192.5% rech)--thanks issue 19!
Damn... Home server is filled. Time to find another alt to delete!
And thanks to another kind poster on these boards I have a way to transfer that influence to my main without needing the help of anyone else!
I'm gonna be soo friggin rich!
EDIT: Heres an idea to get you started even easier. Go through the turtorial to get to lvl 2. Take the tier 3 Dmg and Health inspirations and DONT use them. Once you get out of the turtorial, run strait to WW's and sell those inspirations. Players buy those teir 3's for a pretty decent amount of influence. And even if you cant sell them through WW's for whatever reason, anyone with a SG base and Auto-Doc/Tree of Wonders can sell them there.
Hah! Awesome, I get my first vetspec set on Friday. I know how I'm spending my weekend! 
Alt-itis stole my soul!
The Annual Paragon City Gauntlet Marathon - Arc ID: 352887 (feedback appreciated)
Current Project: nothing specific, just general badge hunting right now.
Ok so I tried the respec trick last night. I think I suck at it or something cause once I finally had the influence transfered to my main it took an hour.
I rolled a Fire/EM Blaster. Went through the turtorial to get the teir 3 inspirations. Then I went and sold those at WW's to get the funds I needed to start. I then hunted Hellions in Atlas to get to lvl 3. Just that took me about a half hour all together.
Then I could not find any level 45 common IO's for less than 5000 inf (most were a LOT more), so with my first respec I went with lvl 40 IO's. I only ended up with about 800k. Then for round 2 I went with level 45's cause I had the money for the investment. After that round I was up to over 2.5 million. Then for my 3rd respec I tried to do it with mostly level 50 IO's and a few more 45's. After my 3 respecs I ended up with a little over 3.5 million influence. But the process of finding the IO's and running back and forth to respec took me a while also. Then using a trick I learned to transfer the influence to my main ended up taking another 10-15 minutes.
So all together, 1 hour for 3.5 million. Not bad but not great either. Concidering I can make 4-10 million influence per hour just be farming arcane foes on my 50's, the respec method is not optimal for me.
Is there something I'm doing wrong though? Is there any way I could speed up this process. I think what took the longest was actually getting the alt to level 3 which was an excersize in frustration cause I hate soloing the low-lvl content.
**UPDATE**
[u]Veteran Respecs Part II: Recipe Memerization[u]
Here is the rundown up front:
*Memorize as many lvl 45-50 Common Recipes as possible (If not all) on your main Crafter. ##THIS IS A MOST TO OPTIMIZE THIS GUIDE AND YOUR PROFITS##
*Pick up lvl 45-50 Common Recipes at WWs for dirt cheap -OR- run missions and SAVE the Common Recipes you get from drops.
*Craft your recipes for HALF COST since they are memorized and store the new I/Os in your Enhancement Storage Bin in your SG base.
*Create an alt and roll him to lvl 3. Now go to your base and pick out 10 of your I/Os and do a Respec. **VET RESPEC IS REQUIRED**
*You get FULL CRAFTING PRICE REFUND for crafting it for HALF PRICE!!!!
*Rinse and Repeat.
EXAMPLE:
Say It costs 400k to craft a lvl 50 Accuracy I/O. If you have that Recipe memorized, It will only cost you 200k to craft. So if you take 10 lvl 50 ACC I/Os and do a respec, you will get PAID IN FULL 400k per I/O.
In other words, you spend approx. 2mill to craft 10 I/Os and get 4mill back from your respec. Good deal huh?
The good thing about doing it this way is that your crafter will have more influence to craft any Common I/O you want. You can craft to your hearts content, and fill up Storage Bin after Storage Bin with those I/Os. Then take time every now and then to Roll a lvl 3 alt and Respec out the cash. This way it doesnt really feel like as much as a GRIND as the other way does. Plus, with many of you knowing about the WWs I/O Respec trick, those I/Os are becoming VERY SCARCE! Doing it this way, you dont have to search WWs for I/Os and is a SURE WAY to make money anytime you feel like it....or until they try to nerf it somehow.
Just remember, the more Recipes you have memorized, the more "variety" of I/Os you can craft for 1/2 cost. If you have them all memorized, then your good to go.

Here is my suggestion....Dont do the Game Content period. You are making a "Resped Mule" for the influence, not story arcs. Running from one mish to another is making you lose ground, and the XP you get for the mission complete bonus is minimal at those lvls anyway. Start out in Atlas at lvl 1 and street sweep around the Sewer Entrance area until you hit lvl 2. Go get your next attack power and street sweep the same spot until you hit lvl 3.....10 minutes tops!
With my newly posted guide, you would then go to your SG base and take 10 I/Os from the Storage Bin and do your Respecs. From your last post, it sounds like you have 3 Vet Respecs. Respec'in using my newest update can net you an approx. average of 2mill per Respec....So...If you craft 30 Memorized Common I/Os and put them all in your Bin, Roll an alt to lvl 3 and do 3 respecs...
An estimated total of 6mill profit.....not bad for rolling only 1 alt.
You can do this at your own leisure too....Run 3-5 missions or street sweep, then craft all your Memorized Common Recipes and dump them in your bin. When you get bored one day, just roll an alt and respec some cash.....ITS THAT EASY!!
No grind involved at all...you just have to spend the initial influence to get those Recipes memorized, then go at your own pace.

I didnt do any content besides the Turtorial. I only did that so I could get the teir 3 inspirations to fund my first round of IO's for the respec. Once I got out of the turtorial I then hunted in Atlas around WW's. It took me about 15 minutes to get from level 2-3. I was hunting +1 to +2 mobs... Should I be looking for +0 or -1's?
And I only made 3.5 million influence... With the memorization method making 6 million per run sounds a lot better! lolz And I already have quite a few lvl 45-50 memorization badges. Wouldnt it be better to just find the most expensive common IO to craft and make a ton of those instead of making different kinds?

Not really actually, because you dont wont to have to spend much to buy a recipe....and you wont get 10 Health Recipes in a row from street sweeping/missions/farming etc...
The best way would be to craft EVERY I/O you can get your hands on from drops. They are free to you and the salvage to craft em is very minimal. If you just start buying your recipes from WW or the tables alone, you start dipping into your potential profits.

Oh no that wasnt what I was saying. I already have some good memorization badges so I dont need any more. I was asking; when I actually respec shouldnt I have the most expensive IO's? Like just use all Accuracy to get the most influence per respec.
