Archie,
You should post the official top hat and monocle I am ebil screenshot. Since you've now officially joined the club, you're entitled.

It makes complete sense because people (like me sometimes) are willing to buy them at those prices. You know, it's the same as selling some super-(rare)-car in RL for $1 million. Surely it doesn't cost even nearly that much to put it together? Yet people with loads of money still buy it. I'd actually encourage new people to put stuff like commons up for a few hundred thousand - mostly because it would stop the constant cries of "inf so hard to make, fix markets!"|

Imma start farming and selling only, no flipping or looking for niches, and see how long just selling drops takes. Bet it still takes less than a week. I'll do only PI, then do only AE.

farming is much more labor intensive than marketeering.

Cool. It'd be nice to see a list of the high value drops you get as you do it.|

I thought some of you might be interested in seeing what I traded so I've posted a spreadsheet of all the trades in the experiment. This includes the ticket roll drops that I crafted and stuff that I didn't sell in time. It's in various versions to make it easier to use.
Here's a web page with all trades in alphabetical order.
Here's another web page with them in the order that I listed the IOs.
I've put the list up in CSV format as well in case you want to load it into a spreadsheet and play with it.
The value "<null>" means "didn't happen". e.g. if "Listing Price" == "<null>" then I didn't list it.
Drops or ticket rolls have "Recipe Price" set to 0. If "Recipe Price" is "<null>" then I bought the IO.
"Total IO Cost" includes the recipe price, the bench cost and an estimate of the salvage costs. If I bought the IO then it's the purchase price. "De-Listing Fees" is the total of the listing fees that I was charged for items that were listed and then de-listed. The listing fee for successful sales is factored into the "Profit" column.
The "Listing Hours" column is the number of hours between listing the IO and selling it. It doesn't take account of IOs that were de-listed and then sucessfully sold again later. i.e. only the final listing period is included.
Enjoy!

Have around 4.5 Billion liquid inf and around another 2 billion in assets yet I wouldn't pay 400k for something like that heh -- Cheapskates unite!

BLUE STEEL: No.
Pohsyb sighs.
In any case, my real time is worth infinitely more than my play money.

Great thread, lots of fun.
