Sigh...this is why we can't have nice things.

Step 1. build a base.

Step 2. put salvage locker in base.

Step 3. put unused salvage in locker.

Step 4. run low end tf/mish to get low end salvage.

Step 5. save inf and have salvage at the ready.

All toons have a personal vault attached to their salvage box. FYI

So this base cam only store salvage, is there a base for enhancements and a base for insp?

[A Cat]

It is an auction house. There is no particular reason the price should have been 200 or 10k. The usual price is no guarantee. The only guarantee built in is the seeded price.

Did someone mention economics?

The amount of common salvage you could afford in the time it took to type the OP… just saying.

Sorry Snarky, it doesn’t work like that.

There's a saying in the biz - "tripping over dollars to pick up pennies" and that's what this thread reminds me of.

All it takes is letting someone know it needs to be reseeded lower and its a non issue. 🙂

I DO have a base for IOs .  

My coin flip games need funds so, my farmers crank out IOs and inf.  

 

Also, when I need to kit out a new toon, I just go shopping.

It's still seeded at 10,000; just like it always has been.

 

What more likely happened is whoever was buying at 10,000 either realized they were grossly overpaying without any point, or got bored trying to manipulate a market they coul not possibly keep up with.

Maybe for weekend pricing but fine is 100.

You may know economics but i know peeps.  Sometimes, even without vamp mez, it does indeed work just like that. 😎

Highway robbery.

 

I'll need to beat up three, maybe even four entire Hellions to make up the difference!

Sometimes it's the principle, but really all it does is make it more difficult for newer players that haven't built up a stash

 

Or it makes a good market for the new players to sell their common salvage and actually make a little influence.

So, I guess we can soldier on, posting and buying stuff at a proper price, or say "Screw it!" and win by not playing.

 

 

 

[MoonSheep]

i mean, it’s a common salvage, michael. what could it cost, 10,000 influence?

 

[kelika2]

Trick or Treat alts are sucking up whatever they can.  common IO market is running dry

Most of those for-sale digits you see are the seeds at 10k, rest are probably priced higher than that by people who have not logged on in like 4 years.

Going by last year the market wont go back to being vendor priced stuff until at least jan or feb of 2024 because more holidays more people staying home more people playing coh.

 

dont look at boosters btw

[ZemX]

Does this ever really happen?  Common salvage market manipulation, I mean.  First off, no evidence in this thread the price ever actually reached 10K in this instance.  Just that it was higher than 300 and that the last five sales, at that point, were for 10K.  Could have been plenty of salvage sitting for sale at 400 or 500.

 

Would it even work?  How much common salvage would one have to buy to gobble up everything being sold for less than 10K?

Well, assuming the seeded at 10,000 are the 10,000,000 ones, that currently leaves 5109, you could in theory buy up everything at 9,999 for less than 52 million.  Which isn't much for a lot of people.  A bit of clicking is the real cost IMO.
