Buying and Selling

So I've decided to buy a Ghost armor set. This looks to me to be a good all round set which will help me out in team hunts against bigger creatures. I'll still hang on to my Shogun set for when I'm out on my own against the lesser creatures.

But, being pricey I had to liquidate some assets to buy it. I had a hunt through my storage and apartment and came up with some looted armor parts that seemed worth selling, and 500 PED of oils.

I tried to auction the lot, but without much success on the oils. I ended up TTing one lot and doing a private trade on another lot. Seems there's very little call for Animal Thyroid Gland Oil. Some of the armor parts have sold and some are still listed, so hopefully they'll go too.

In case you're wondering why I don't just TT oils, it's because I prefer them to be used by a crafter rather than being placed on the TT scrap heap (or wherever it is that stuff goes). It's not really about the money - it only goes for 101% at best.

So, anyway, with this new stack of cash I went off in search of Ghost armor. First there's the resellers that are ripping people off at TT+220 to TT+240. A quick look in auction reveals a full set of parts I can "buy now" for TT+200 - so why bother with a reseller at all? In the end I settled on Buzz Lightyear's store (after prodding him to restock). I got the full set for TT+190, so I'm pleased and hopefully he's pleased with the 190 PED :-)

And here I am showing off the new set in my apartment block.

The only thing left to do was pay the hefty 232 PED repair bill. But it's held in value in the armor, so that's not a big loss.

Roll on the weekend when I can go and use this new armor in anger!
