That has nothing to do with level. It has to do with the origin the vendor specializes in. The Mutant enhancement stores will pay more for Mutant enhancements than for enhancements of other origings, for example.
Currently published Mission Architect arcs:
Arc ID# 70466: From the Abyss.
Arc ID# 403174: The Serpent's Revenge.
Arc ID# 534236: The Clockwork Angel.
When I started playing, I do believe there was a significant difference (to some people) when selling Tech items at a tech store, as opposed to selling Tech at a Mutant store. Selling an origin at a different origin's store got you less money. I'm not sure how standard Training Origin stores factored into it though.
A friend of mine would religiously hit each of the origin stores after each set of missions to get the most for her enhancements.. I didn't feel like waiting around all the time, so in the meantime, I was in the next mission probably making more than she was off the kills. haha
I remember vendor price equalization was upcoming, but I thought that was going to be in Going Rogue?

Personally what I'm hoping is that they revamp normal stores and contact stores such that, while you get less selection at the contact, you pay less as your relationship improves.

Now that you mention it, I vaguely remember somebody saying that the store in Ouroboros pays the higher price for everything, and most people I know just sell there now to make it easier. |

Based on this, I'd say the Training origin contacts might do the same thing... or all new stores added are equalized after Ouroboros?.. or even RWZ? All new zones only seem to have one Store. They are probably all the same now, but I guess it requires some more testing for confirmation to se if the older stores still follow the old rules.

the store in cimerora buys for the high prices on enhancements. everything else is the same.

I thought Oro price gouged like Ghost Falcon does in Peregrine. I sell everything in RWZ now because I know I'll get the best prices, and with the level restriction gone, even my lowbies can offload.

At the bottom of the list of what each store sells is the percent of full price that they buy back for.

And the big reason the Club, Cim, and RWZ buy back at the better rate is because of the fact those are the Co-Op zones and leaving them in a mixed team gets you kicked.

Also might it have something to do with them selling all origins? If the code is there for buying price based on origin the fact that they sell all origins probably kicks them into high price.

Well, they do--but "cable" in the Shard is a bunch of natterlings reenacting The Price is Right, the Dick Van **** Show, and You Can't Do That on Television.

A long time ago I heard somewhere that if you tried to sell high level enhancements to a vendor that only sells lower level enhancements, you wouldn't get the same asking price. So, I wanted to try and dispel that myth. I had some level 31 Invention Set Enhancements and a few 30 Damage and Accuracy Enhancements that I wanted to sell for my level 20 Mutant Controller. I went to the Mutant Store in Steel and got a price for my enhancements and then I went into Atlas to the vendor by Miss Liberty and wanted to see what price I could get. It was exactly the same. All enhancements, all Salvages everything sold at the same price.
So, with that being said, was there a time that this was not the case? Was this changed in a recent issue that would make any vendor offer the same price for your items or was that always the case and I was mislead by someone who said this to me?
