don't they sell for the crafting cost so ~200K each or 2 mil for 10?

Useful mainly on poor/low level characters, a respec can earn a million* inf prety easily. I'm sure markert regs already now this, but : 1. Buy cheap lvl50+ IO's, SO's to fill up your enhancment tray. It should cost less than 5000/ehancement. Sometimes dip into 45+ Io's. 2. Switch to dual build if you dont want to 'have' to go through a complete respec (if you are not changing powers/slots around, and just respecing for inf) 3. 4. Profit *Actual inf earning may vary, not redeemable for novelty prizes. |

(Edited to add: You do get to move 10 over into the market, which can be worth a whole lot more, and if they're already on your character waiting to be replaced, then it's worth it. But there's no point in creating IO's to slot into the character and then moving them right back out again, so the only advantage I see is for characters with IO's that are intended to be replaced.)

I'm not talking creating the IOs, or slotting them first. Heck no! You're right, no point there.|

I'm saying to buy 'useless' high level IOs or SOs to sit in your tray, and sell them off at the end of a respec. Buy for under 5k, sell for over 100K. Times 10.
If you have a unused second build, its easier as you dont have to worry about correctly reslotting powers and stuff. Thats about the only time to do it with higher levels.
Its more starting inf for lowbies anyhow, or a quick 1-2 million inf (depening of how many sub lvl 50 Enh you grab) if you are going to respec anyway.
Normally takes me longer than 5 minutes for a transaction slot to make 1+ million from start to finish, (days more likley waiting for low bids to fill) which is about all the time I spend on this. YMMV.

I don't suffer from altitis, I enjoy every minute of it.
Thank you Devs & Community people for a great game.
So sad to be ending ):
I do this when I need to burn a freespec quick or am gonna delete a failed character concept anyway. I usually can get a bunch of lvl 50 set IOs from sleep, confuse, snipe, etc sets for less than 10k, and they resell during a respec for the 490k crafting cost. Times 10 that's a decent chunk of change for a few minutes of time.

Guilty of being tight.

Just wanted to bring extra attention to the SET part, since SET IO's sell for the most, during a respec.|

Back when I was first starting out with the markets (and had all of 20 million to my name), I bought a ton of cheap set IO's (hello, Lethargic Repose!), made new characters, leveled them to 3, and then used up Vet respecs to make 3-4 million each time (after expenses). It was good for a bit, but by time I made 100 million off it, I was thoroughly bored (and had enough capital) and moved onto other things.
As the OP says, this is great for poor/starting out players. Or people with lots of patience (one of my SG mates still does it, even though he has billions of inf).
This is a neat trick for the early days of making inf on a given character.
I remember when 100 million was an unbelievably large amount of inf...

But I usually do this when I make a character on a server I'm new to. If you don't mind having some patience, you can do it with a level 50 with an alternate build (especially a controller/dominator) that can slot all those unused sets.

The effort outweighs the profits for higher level types, but it is a nice way to get a bump for your lowbies.

With new freespecs coming, burn through the ones you already have to make some inf.
Useful mainly on poor/low level characters, a respec can earn a million* inf prety easily.
I'm sure markert regs already now this, but :
1. Buy cheap lvl50+ IO's, SO's to fill up your enhancment tray. It should cost less than 5000/ehancement. Sometimes dip into 45+ Io's.
