My marketing kinda slows down on DXP....I arrange time to actually play as opposed to the 15 mins or so I reserve for marketing.
The oddest thing though, Scientific Theories were selling for 10 million at one point.....I dropped one on the market and insta-sold for 10,000,001 (seriously, you worried about people bidding 10M?). Of course I went and rolled the 3k ae tickets I had on me immediately and cleared 75 million by supplying a few dozen.....
I sold a few generic IOs at ridiculous profits but because all my other niches stalled didnt make a lot of scratch.
I logged in this morning and managed to purchase a bunch of purples on the cheap so that was nice.
I did nothing to prepare or ramp up for DxP weekend in terms of marketing. Most of my marketeers have ATOs for sale at stupidly high prices, and I don't really care if it takes 2 months for them to sell. I have more money than I need already.
But I started two new toons over the weekend, and while IO'ing out the first one I noticed Saturday morning that level 35 generic accuracy IOs were selling for over 2 million each -- and there was only 1 for sale. This prompted me to bid on enough salvage to craft ten of them. The first I listed for 2,000,001 and it sold instantly for about 2.3 million. Hey, can't beat instant profit! I had a few more sell for 5.5 million each by Sat evening, and then nothing more sold until Sunday afternoon... when a bunch of them (still listing for 2,000,001 each) sold. Two of these sold for 5 million, five of them sold for 10 million.
Can't beat getting five times your asking price. ^_^ I wound up making about 100 million on a brand new character just from a few casual generic IO sales.
