That's a shame to learn that buy and sell prices can't be different.:(
I had been fantasizing of setting up an independently run Junker station that could fence stolen goods and contraband for a fee. Unfortunately those buy/sell mechanics would make such an endeavor nigh impossible. And if the numbers Lumik figured are correct, then I would need nothing short of my own personal supply fleet to keep the dang thing from imploding or being griefed by lolturds.
