God, I know the feeling. More than once my dominator has missed out on team groups with her SG because I play her as a superhero in the isles and therefore the chances she'd do half the jobs her friends go on is nil. ;/

I also know the feeling. After I "retired", I was buying up a lot of Miracle uniques to use & store for the SG and I once peeked at the last 5 price after crafting one. It was going for like 75M (I'd bought for around 25M). I couldn't help myself--I flipped it, it insta-sold for 75M, and I bought another one (for like 25M) not soon after for actual use (no, I didn't peek again!).

For every seller who leaves the market dirty stinkin' rich,
there's a buyer who leaves the market dirty stinkin' IOed. - Obitus.
He has no travel power, unlike every other super villain.
He will use the funds from this investment (read: flipping) to pay for public transportation, and the weapons cache to conceal his swords from the eye of the possibly suspecting public.
See? Flipping them has roleplaying value, too.
Now, do it. I thought you were a villain?

I resisted the temptation to indulge in a new laptop the last 2 days and now the deal is gone. Strike while the iron is hot, 'goat!
total kick to the gut
This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.
Okay, I've got a compromise-
I flip the recipes, but deduct the profit from his final total, so it'll be like they never existed!

If you want to avoid temptation, slot them all. Yes, all however-many-you-have.
This will avoid those self-conversations of what to do as you stare at them in your tray or recipe inventory.
Then, when you've come to your good (albeit, villainous) senses down the road, you'll know you can 'spec and sell the babies after this project of yours.

Or you could always move them to an alt and let the alt flip them, this character had no part in the flipping. Just bought them and decided that he didn't really need them. That way the non ebil character doesn't profit at all.
