I'm bad, I haven't touched the market all weekend except to craft and list items I've been getting as drops (4 purples so far, nothing else of note).

I haven't done much of anything either (although it's been good for clearing out overpriced junk I didn't want to de-list).
I was just surprised at how fast those bids filled- a LOT of 50's are churning out a LOT of recipes right now.

Yup, that's been my observation too. I'm glad now I picked some mid-level niches that seem to be a lot more lucrative than the 50th level standards. I'm not surprised the turnover is running a little differently than it did last DXP, given both that the recipe drops were fixed and that most folks are currently playing sub-50's to either get them there or to jump up a few level brackets. I wonder if the 50's who are running aren't doing it for the double inf as well as the drops.

Im bad, i have 4-5 retired bank roll toons who all have stacks of 10 Odd rare salvage listed for a mil, I restock them at the end of every DXP weekend. I am currently sitting at about 350 mil earned. DXP is truely awesum.
I've barely played this week-end. Turned a level 6 Dom into a 13, got 3 levels on my DB/Rgb scrapper, and played about 4 hours of market lulz across a few dozen marketeering characters. Most of them are just starting, though, so I've just turned a few hundred thousand into a few tens of million on each of them. I haven't had the urge to play much this time through. However, I might check out the recipe deal to get a few more marketeer characters start-up funds.

The economy is not broken. The players are
My 20-something Brute has been filling and vendoring stacks of level 50 IO recipies at the end of every night over the weekend. I've probably spent 20 minutes in total selling them and then bidding on a few more stacks at the end of every night and made a nice little (and it is little by any marketeers or farmers standards) packet for her next bunches of SOs. I was pretty amazed that they were filling as well too to be honest. Nice wee profit for minimum, risk-free work.
checked in last night and while the floor has risen a bit you could still just about double your money on every ten stack.
I didn't get to do much over the weekend. We no sooner returned from our anniversary celebration than my connection went down for an extended period. The Goat blew out a bunch of high priced stuff and is approaching the 2 billion mark- I may yet pass though the gates of true eeebil. Two other marketeer characters crossed the billion mark- I'll get screens when I think of a good spot.
I did pick up a level for my ar/dev who is questing for the ranged def soft cap. He hit 46 with 300 mil in the kitty and a few powers already IO'ed- by the time 50 rolls around he should have what he needs for a shopping spree.
Wish I'd been able to play more, but happy with the results of my limited game time.

Likewise. A fair amount of pre-planned medium-paced market play turned out fairly well amongst my 7 characters (yes, only 7 with 9 months of play, I guess I'm not too prone to altitis), with a total rake-in of at least a billion or two between them (I've already learned to quit counting too closely).|

Player-wise, a dm/sd scrapper I'm fond of hit 50 in an ITF and the two newest characters, a peacebringer and an ill/storm controller, both fun as heck to play, went from about 20 to 25+. I had to slow down a bit and get them properly slotted up to keep playing them.
I have stayed away from the market for the first time since the market started... had real life issues and then wanted to get a few 45+ toons up a few levels... Well did not play much and those toons are not any closer to 50

I was similarly doing fine in this regard on my new elec/elec scrapper. And then my internal typing filter shut off and I paid 13 mil for an Impervium.|

I made it back by Sunday night, but perhaps I put a little too much NAO into the buying there.

heads up badgers & profiteers-
there are a TON of cheap generic level 50 recipes flooding through the system right now.
Looking around last night I noticed 'flipper prices' in the last 5 of several generic recipes (when you see five 55,902's in a row you know what's up).
I cut in line for a laff, posting a bunch of ten stacks at their price +1 then went off to do run a mission.
Imagine my surprise when I checked back in after my mission to find that ALL my bids had filled. Having nothing better to do with them I ran 'em to the vendor & doubled my money.
But if anyone out there wants memorization badges or is happy making 500k per stack doing vendor runs, check it out.
