How do I find the Campus in Steel Canyon again? I've been there once before but I can't find it on the map.

I can't find the university that I am told is in Steel Canyon. How do I find it? My salvage is full so I think I'm supposed to use them to craft things now. I'm fairly new to the game, only level 21 on my first toon since the game was live. 

EDIT: Never mind found it on map. I feel noobish now.

The Campus is west of the South Tram Station, and right behind the Midnighter Club.

Also if you look into base building. You can make a functional base with teleporters to most zones, a med bay, enhancement/inspiration/salvage storage, base empowerment buff stations, a mission computer, and a crafting station.

 

This allows you store excess components and finished products and by right next to your crafting table. The only drawback is that you have to leave your base to sell on the AH, and there's no bin for recipe storage, so you have to keep those on your person or email them to yourself.

If your salvage is full just sell it at any vendor. White and yellow are mostly vendor trash unless you are doing a lot of crafting. Orange is best sold on the auction house (list it for 10 inf, trust me) and sells for around half a million, give or take.

Or seeking the auction house badges.  There's also one for enhancements and another for recipes.  (As well as one for sales overall.)

I never looked to see how much vendors pay for whites and yellows. Do you know the numbers?

I currently always pay 1,000 for all whites and 25,000 for all yellows. I'll up my bid prices if those are below vendor pricing.

I do quite a bit of crafting.

 

Selling to a vendor takes the salvage out of circulation.

I've tried selling white and yellow on AH but it's usually for pennies. Vendor is 250 for white, 1K for yellow and 5K for orange. don't sell orange at vendors.....

Honestly I sell those cheap on the AH since A) It's not a huge difference of 20 inf & 250 inf at this point, and often people pay more, so it evens out.  (same with uncommon)  B) gets credit toward the bulk numbers on selling quantity badges.

Or use them at empowerment stations for buffs.  Empowerment stations are supergroup base items that let you use common salvage (mostly) to get various small buffs to resistance, resistance to status effects, perception, etc.  And buying an empowerment counts as crafting for the crafting badges.

I usually find the empowerments to be a lot more useful than the 250-ish inf I'd get by selling common salvage at the vendor.

Honestly, I sell all white and yellow drops I get for 1.

But I always by whites for 1000 and Yellows for 25,000.

 

Of course, the one that is posted at the lowest price is always the first one to be purchased whenever a bid is placed.

On a related note, how hard would it be (ha, ha) to add an option to the S.T.A.R.T. vendor to reject common and uncommon invention salvage?  There are already options to reject inspirations by size and type, or recipes by rarity or category.  It'd be great if my characters could just opt out of getting common and uncommon salvage.  Sure would save on time clearing out full salvage inventories.
