How did you do during Double Spam... er XP

Prolly less than 100M in profits. Spent (marketwise) most of the weekend churning out lvl 30-40 generic IOs for small profits (5-6M per login) mostly to get my 20th & 21st FC badges. Only 1 left to go on my main server.

I didn't sell anything over the weekend, I cancelled all of my sales and went into buying mode. I'm glad I did because all of the salvage, and recipes have all shot up in price and so have the crafted enhancements so I am making a tidy sum.

The past two evenings have been weeeeee!
If your buy-side timing was good then it's just like April all over again.

Ok, unexpected windfall time!

I forgot that I'd pulled & listed all the crafted purples my fire/rad had in base storage waiting for me to get off my rear and respec him.

Logged in last night and had a tidy half a billion in profit.

Last 2XP weekend, I only sold pre-made Common IOs. This time around, I wanted to try selling crafted Set pieces. I settled on a couple of cheapo Sets that had some decent triples and stocked up on them over the month. Alas, they pretty much didn't sell at all during the event. I guess I was over optimistic in pricing them. I saw some sales, but they were well below my prices.

Luckily, some of them sold yesterday. Unexpectedly, though, the ones that sold were from what I had considered the "lesser" of the two Sets. Well, it gave me hope that I can unload my inventory sooner rather than later.

My secondary objective during the event was to clean out some of my hoarded Set IOs. The mediocre stuff that I kept on hand for new alts to use as they grew up. But as it turned out, the new alts wanted the better stuff that I have since learned I preferred. A lot of these didn't move either, but I was expecting that. Unfortunately, these along with my scheme IOs locked up half of my Market slots during the event.

Still, I was able to move a steady stream of Commons at ludicrous (to me) prices. In addition, I found that some of the unused Set IO pieces I was trying to get rid of were bringing in good Inf. I've made a note to explore pursuing their niches.

I got a Hecatomb: Rech/Acc drop friday night. Saturday morning I was half asleep and accidentally vendored it. But I managed to get a Coercive Persuasion and a Fortunata Hypnosis while farming on saturday. All in all with the rest of my crafting and selling I probably made close to 500 million over the weekend.

I made 3.9 billion in profit with 1 billion invested prior to 2xp. So I am now sitting with 4.9 billion total. It was a nice weekend. If you want to see what I did you can read my thread about it.
