And for the title: "Knock down the market!" My market is already knocked down, because yesterday a single crazy customer bought all my guns in one turn.

Ugh, I think you're the one responsable for all of this 'crazy economy' we're seeing here.
You made the prices so damn high... and people still buy... It's amazing how people never learn to adapt.

I better am patient and wait to farm my own wrecks (if I have the time) to get x amount of codes, rather than paying 150M.

There is a high need of codes and one person with a good sense of business - High prices

If you want to save money or drop code prices there is an easy solution, you can go hunt the codes or try to open your own shop. If Cody has monopol you can be sure the prices are high, but it's not like you must get the codes from him.

So yeah it's as Sad said also about the laziness. One wouls say that with the amount of codes that must be increasing, the prices should go down. So if you think like me that Cody's prices are rip off, go make your own business and force him to lower them.
PS: I mean that with no offense Cody

I tried to do that. Sadly with Cody's deliverer prices I had to boot up my prices to make sure nobody would buy from me just to sell to Cody for extra credits. So I managed to cut down the prices down to 17 mil max. I wanted to go under, but then people would've only brought from me to sell to him. Thus Cody indeed does rule the place. Only because he is famous for buying codes that he resells.

Frankly, I'm also sick of code name guns and how they provide the false sense of rarity to people. I don't have a problem with dealers using them to generate money but they do it at an insanely profitable rate which effectively undermines all other methods.

Almost every single freelancer/merc has a set of shiny code name guns on his lolSabre but people still pay ludicrous amount of money for them. This is a business of selling to idiots and some people will always think 50 million for a pair of guns is a good deal to them. Too bad, they just got ripped off. But this will keep happening as long as these 'supposedly' rare guns exist. 200 more dps and a fancy effect is hardly worth hundred folds of a normal gun's price.

My solution - buff civilian guns, delete all code name guns.

It's quite simple really. Cody's prices are expensive but you can make more credits by trading than waiting for someone else to sell them for less or trying to get them yourself. I have also only used Cody to get 8 guns, the rest I have been able to get cheaper from others due to watching the Open Market channel and waiting for the exact guns I wanted. However, I was prepared to wait quite a long time and also didn't need them straight away. Cody's business model works differently. He sells high because people need the guns then and do not want to wait and realise they can actually recuperate the losses made by buying from Cody via trading, quicker than the time taken to wait for those guns to be sold at the supposed "right" price.

I would agree to Cabulb..mostly. These are 'rare' guns - you cant buy them in masses, you cant sell them in masses. Else we can just sell Nomad weaponry and then again look how the comm here reacts...

Reduce codename availability from wrecks significantly and watch Cody buying Discovery.

Yee, stop all codename wrecks from spawning the guns, watch the price of a single codename go up to 100 million, watch Cody get even richer, watch Cody buy out IC|, then LPI|, then [*USI*], then Ageirawr|, then DSE).

Liberty becomes his.

Stop buying, then the prices might decrease.

Why should sellers make less profit without any reasons? It is not how economy goes!

Its not codenames, its not rare. There lies the problem. Heck, if they will be rare, let them sell for ossim cash. But most of them are hardly rare, its even harder to find some civ or faction guns then to get these code weapons. Buff civ guns, delete codes, admin given codes?
