Last night I saw there were only 17 Psionic Threat Reports for sale Blueside. I put one up for sale (which I had purchased for 5 influence) and it cleared for 950,000 influence within minutes. That's 190,000 times what I paid for it.

I'm not really bragging about it, as it was pure luck -- none of the other sales that I saw were for anything close to that much, so maybe it was an extra-zero typo. But it wasn't completely impossible that someone paid that much intentionally, as a lot were going for 200,000 in the same time period.

Surely this isn't your first taste of "ebil," is it?

I saw a piece of salvage normally worth dog fecal matter but it had gone out of supply totally. There was 1 for sale and 230ish bidding. I quickly upped that to over 400 bidding and I'll see how that went when I get on tonight.

Hopefully, I destroy the economy and all the wee bairns cry. Everyone will think it normally sells for six digits. Muah ha ha ha.

Or I get burned.
