While we're on the subject, is it just me, or did this last double XP weekend seem to actually stabilize salvage prices for once? There was a lot of common/uncommon salvage (mostly stuff that doesn't drop at 50) that was spiking up and down in price for a while, and it looked like they mostly settled down into the <50k range during and after the weekend.
Having Vengeance and Fallout slotted for recharge means never having to say you're sorry.
I made a billion(net) while I slept last Sat night. Then I got 3 purple drops this past weekend. So not a bad week.
Nil. My Niches continued along at their usual ridiculous and slow profit.
I made about 2 billion although it was not from anything planned, just playing the game. I got 6 purple drops(apocalypse, soulbound x4 lol, and abs amazement) over DXP weekend and about 40 yellow and orange recipes while levelling up my characters. I crafted everything that was worth it, and listed em all for about 60% the going rate. All are sold now, and I am up the 2 billion. :-D

I noticed it too. I didn't intend to do much selling this event, but I saw that the salvage needed for the mid-level Common IOs were not just reasonable, but plentiful and cheap. I changed my plans a bit. The quantity of crafted mid-level IOs were fairly low too, so they moved well. I also noticed that someone had dumped a load of level-50 Commons the week prior and kept the inventory high. They neglected the level-45s, so I stocked those and got about the same sale prices. I didn't keep track of what I made, though, but it wasn't that much really. Just easy Inf.|

As for the past week, some of my junk that had been clogging up my Market slots sold. Nothing to write home about in terms of revenue, I'm just glad I cleared the slots.
The only thing I had sort of planned was to unload 10 sets of mid-level Makos (all the same level) that I accumulated. I thought they were going to be hot. I put one set up on the first day of Double XP Weekend and they took a week to sell. And they sold by the piece instead of being snagged up all at once as I had anticipated. I guess I should be glad that I didn't tie up all my slots by flooding the Market with them.
Teams are the number one killer of soloists.
Between 3 niches where I guessed VERY right and had a good amount of stock on hand in base I made 17B. Admittedly 60% of that came from stock on hand in base so net profit beyond past crafting costs was probably closer to 11-12B.
Now if a couple of the niches keep rising I can say that I was the one keeping prices DOWN next time someone wants to blame me for high prices.....cause in 2 of them I have only 1 IO left to remind me which chest I store them in.
In some niches prices did nothing or went down (level 40 stuff in many cases did this) but many higher-end 50 stuff nearly doubled (or more).

My 3 billion inf didn't include the PvP IOs I had saved up for the DXP, though. Adding those I'd probably be closer to the 5 billion mark, but still nowhere close to what you got! Then again, my marketeering was quite lazy. I did my Get All Inf -> Craft -> Put For Sale -> Bid On Salvage cycle once every day on two characters.

I made about 250 mil just selling crafted commons. Made about 500 mil from other stuff. I wasn't really putting any effort into marketeering though. I was using my time working a new Dom up instead.

I didn't spend much time at all marketeering on 2xp weekend. I bought a bunch of purples the week before and listed them Friday evening though. It ended up netting me about 2 billion in profit, even after my 250 million influence 'oopsie' on a piece of rare salvage.

I took a position on level 50 Numina procs prior to x2 exp weekend. They were costing about 50M to craft and selling for 70-75M. I decided that each batch of 10 I made I'd keep 5 in base for about 2 weeks. So I ended up with about 65 of them to drop into the frenzy. I have 1 left and most sold between 90-110M so thats quite a lot of my haul right there.
...Ebil worth this DXP and the week after?
I'm estimating my own profits at around 3 billion inf.
