Not really. They regularly sell for 2.5-2.75 billion here in the Market Forum, and I've often seen them for 2.25. Also, they sell daily, sometimes more often, on the market - which can't possibly be more than 2 billion. On the market, it's essentially a lottery, but every time one goes up, SOMEONE has to win - that's how I got mine.|

In short: 2 billion is only 2/3 of the way to a Glad Armor if you're impatient enough to throw away anywhere up to a billion more than you need to.

And if I was that impatient, I wouldn't be at 2 billion now. What I'm really selling is my patience, after all. I'm fine with creating a pile of IOs, then selling them off at a reasonable (or not) mark up. It takes about as long for me to craft 10 of a kind as it'll take for someone who's just completing a set to make one.|

I've just begun poking at a couple of purples, see if there's Inf to be made there. My usual strategy at work: Post a criminally low, but plausible bid, then wait a few days. I can't see how that shouldn't work on purples.

Thanks to posts on these forums, I also went from essentially nothing to over 3.9b spread across my characters (after sharing out from my main who got to 2b and didn't have anything to do with it). I really think it's funny when people complain about the market, because making inf is easy, and it doesn't take any time at all. All I did to make my cash was to run tip missions and then cash in the A-merits for recipes, craft, and collect. Easy. The only other thing I'm doing to earn is buy high-level generic IO recipes and vendor them. Again, easy money, little time investment, and my lowbie characters will now have about 20 mil by the time they hit 20. Looking at some of my older 20s with maybe 200k inf I just have to laugh. I don't flip, I don't have a niche I work, just real casual marketeering that works with my play style.
So thanks to all in this forum for the advice and guidance that is given so freely - it works, and has made my game much more fun.
