Salvages price getting crazy!

[Bukatti]

rare salvages up to 1mil each, and even common salvages up to 20k each,

 

here's my question, does Homecoming sell salvages to balance the market just like superpack, or not?

iirc correctly they capped them at 25k/100k/1 million though they rarely sell for those amounts unless someone's either fiddling around with them or someone's just trying to dump influence on lowbies by overbidding. Just put up a normal bid and wait, should fill within the minute. We can all use that time to consider whether we're really up for the responsibilities that come with owning savages, and whether their savagery is justification for their being bought and sold so indiscriminately.

Isn't that kinda dumb when you can email yourself inf?

... who says they're dumping the INF on their own lowbies?  🙂

Saw thread title, thought there was something wrong with End cost of Savage Assault powers.

I suspect your perspective is out of whack.  A single farmer generates roughly two-million influence per minute of farming (over a sufficient amount of time spent farming; it can be spikey).  A million per rare isn't expensive.  A million per rare is also the market's maximum price due to HC having seeded the market at that price quite some time ago.  Maybe chill a bit?  😉

That's not my question 🙂

Emailing INF to yourself, doesn't help you share that INF with other people, especially those who might be newly-returned to CoX.

 

I have an alt that was given 2,000,000 INF for finding a guy playing hide-and-seek in Atlas.  At the time, she was my highest-level alt; I didn't have my own 50's to gather influence with.

I was under the impression that you can email inf to ANYONE, if you know their global chat-handle. Is that not correct?

And this thread brings to light why having inf farmers is bad. Since inf is generated infinitely, there is no cap on the amount in circulation. So, inf farmers drive up inflation at a ridiculous rate. Honestly I think AE shouldn't give inf. Imagine Germany's economy after WW1, where you had to spend 10,000 marks for a single loaf of bread. The more currency available in the market, the less each piece of currency is worth.

I noticed the jump in price too, it used to be all rare salvage was 500k inf. But it looks like only select rare salvage has jumped to 1 million, such as chronal skip and essence of furries. So I think its only the salvage used in high level recipes and purples that has gone up. The lower tier salvage still is 500k.

I thank heaven I have never had to use essence of furries.

[MunkiLord]

It's temporary due to the long weekend causing a spike in demand. Prices will go back down, I juts picked up all my rare salvage for less than 470k each.

[Justisaur]

They're all lumped in one bucket, all rare salvage is one bucket, but in a coronal skip and someone else buys it as an essence of furies.  Aren't they?

 

I saw the prices spike for a little bit, and sold a couple for 700k but were back to 500k last I checked.

[Hedgefund]

Patience grasshopper.  Yes there may be spikes in the day where rare salvage sells for 7 digits but normalcy returns.  I did have to up my standard rare bid price by 25k, since it does appear the floor has been raised recently.  However, it's certainly not true that "rare salvage costs 1M".  At least it doesn't to someone willing to wait an hour or 2, certainly 24.

Capped prices? I dare either of you to bid on rare salvage for 2 million and report back if you get 1 million refund for going over the cap. 

*puts rare salvage up for 1.9 million*

It may be or it may not be.

 

So ... what about people you haven't met, and do not yet know?

 

...

 

Look, folks, it's simple: some people like to be generous.  To total strangers.  Out of the blue.  🙂

That will sit a long time as the seller with the lowest price sells first, and there are almost 10 million sellers with prices lower.

They're still not going to see a refund though. The playful point I was trying to make is that "capped price" is a misnomer. The price cap is whatever someone is willing to pay. Well... or 2 billion. Whichever comes first.
