Stop it.Seriously,stop whining.Stop Q_Qing and stop trolling.Stop exaggerating things which are minor,stop whining about stuff which happens every time the blue moon appears.Stop Q_Qing because people do not comply to your wishes.This is not your personal universe where you can lord everyone around and judge people using your emotions.Think logically.Think.Just think.
I'm gone.Goodbye.

Nah, relax dear customer. It is not robbery of course. See my services as a luxery.
For some reasons, that i know very well, sometimes customers want simply to buy the guns quick. Some times customers had a wish, and want to have that wish realized as soon as possible. I have them, eveb if they are expensive.
But if you don't like the prices, there are other ways to get codenames cheaper: Get them from the wrecks or buy them from other, cheaper dealers.
Credits? Even if i compare my prices with other dealers prices - for example the Ragnaroks - it would be only few hours more to earn that money with a trading ship.
My service is not to make quick money, but to balance my shop's demand and supply out. My intention and goal is to have all, or nearly all codes availible. My prices - even if they are steep - are only a tool for that.
Also - another example - i sell both Jades and Onyx for 4 millions each. Not always i have the highest prices, only to let you know.
I would like to order a set of equipment for one of my escort wing´s fighters, and a place and time to collect them. Here´s the list:
Nuclear mine dropping mechanism
Champion class 9 HF shield
UAU VIII Superb plating
A train CD Device

Also, as the server is now more stable codes are becoming less accessible...As a result I have seen the demand grow along with the prices. As for Cody...If people are prepared to pay his prices than fair play to him. I have to say the prices he pays to buy them in is very good and he sells them for a reasonable profit.
No, honestly i think i am way too cheap these days!
I am sold out since today, that is the truth. 2 customers bickered about my hold. Both wanted to buy me out totally.
About one of my ships - with 21 Code name guns on it, we have had the following conversation - i have cleaned the names out, of course:

[29.06.2011 17:12:48] W.F.Cody-Weapon.Depot: You came at the same time like Mr. CustomerB.
[29.06.2011 17:12:52] Customer: what?
[29.06.2011 17:12:57] Customer: ohh
[29.06.2011 17:13:06] W.F.Cody-Weapon.Depot: Repeat your bid please in local channels, dear customer

[29.06.2011 17:13:24] W.F.Cody-Weapon.Depot: one hold i sold to him, one to you.
[29.06.2011 17:13:49] Customer: i give 450 for all that
[29.06.2011 17:13:53] Customer: Cody
[29.06.2011 17:14:15] W.F.Cody-Weapon.Depot: Mr. CustomerB?
[29.06.2011 17:14:22] W.F.Cody-Weapon.Depot: You bid more perhaps?
[29.06.2011 17:14:39] W.F.Cody-Weapon.Depot: You are crazy, dear customer. [Was a comment in private channels]
[29.06.2011 17:14:52] W.F.Cody-Weapon.Depot: i doubt he will bid more
[29.06.2011 17:14:52] Customer: so deal?
[29.06.2011 17:14:59] Customer: 450
[29.06.2011 17:15:08] W.F.Cody-Weapon.Depot: i will wait a bit for an answer.
[29.06.2011 17:15:23] Traffic control alert: CustomerB has requested to dock
[29.06.2011 17:15:25] Customer: i will give you 450 milions
[29.06.2011 17:15:25] W.F.Cody-Weapon.Depot: Hello, Mr. CustomerB, i have a 450 million offer for all the guns.
[29.06.2011 17:15:33] W.F.Cody-Weapon.Depot: Are yoiu interested any longer sir?
[29.06.2011 17:15:41] W.F.Cody-Weapon.Depot: ok deal
So, even if i am overpriced, i am sold out. Not only that i got the high prices i demand normaly, the customer payed freely + 50% just to be sure to make the deal.
What should i do? Refuse such offers? Perhaps i should increase the prices again for all codes a bit to reflect the last days of dealing, but i really hope, days like this one will come rarely only.
And once more, i would like to rebuy as many codes as i can. Or as you can deliver, lads and gents.
I don't really understand why everyone is complaining about the high prices.
In the end, the question is: "Who makes the prices of code weapons?"
Of course the Weapon Dealer does. Depending on his amount of available guns and the actual demand.
Instead of complaining, you should be thankful to Cody, for doing this great service.
I've tried several times to get the Codes that I wanted by myself and believe me, it is much harder than just buying them for 2-35 millions SC. In that time, you try to get them, you could earn much more credits by trading/mining/smuggling/robbing than you would need to pay for the guns.
Besides that, he offers you a fair price for selling your guns to him. More than others do.
That's it so far. I thought, that someone needed to say this, after I'd read some comments here (and ingame).
Two days ago, I bought 4 Code guns for 140 million SC, and I'm totally fine with that. Of course, I could have got them cheaper at some other weapon dealer, but for me does the RP and friendly service count more than cheaper prices.
If I would be a popular Weapon Dealer, I would sell them for like <50 millions each, just to make sure, that not everyone will fly around with these - actually rare guns.
And sometimes people behave like they're just jealous of his success!
Cody's shop will never die, because there are always customers (like me), who do appreciate Cody's service.
Well, that's my opinion, and I hope you accept this, like I accept your opinions on that.
