No one is forcing you to buy expensive ships. Unless of course they're guard tagged and all. Freedom of choice. There's also the reputation chart factor, which in some cases it's pretty vital for a trading ship.

It's a free market, if the demand isnt there no one will buy it and the price will probably drop. That's how markets work. And if no one buys it, the seller will not be in a good place, that's also how markets work.

Aye. The proper price for any commodity is what people will pay for it. If people are stupid enough to buy ships like that, it's fair to sell them that way.

The long term effects of such a market are negated in ship sales (unlike codenames) because if standard price is 200 mil for a kitted VHF you can still just go do it yourself for 25.

I plan on selling a handfull of Starfliers at about 40 million a pop.

I may also /restart a few CSVs and sell those for 120 million as well.



People are just selling them to make money, not to get rid of them

Those people seem to ignore the fact that second hand things will never worth as much as new things.

Don't buy their ships, let them suffer.

aye, this isn't Q_Q, this is "I'm not going to buy overpriced ships".

Boycotting is good. Boycotting without the company knowing why though, is ineffictive.

since its every bodies own choice what to sell or to buy, i'm not able to detect even the faintest traces of win in this thread.

Hey, people can sell at whatever price they feel like. You have the power to ignore them if you don't like their prices.

Enough with this "Don't do this because I tell you so" attitude.

Go suck a lolipop. Quack.

Market price is set by the consumer and the consumers willingness to pay.
if you have a issue with a items price them you have the free will to purchase from someone else or not purchase at all.
