The virtual economy will come. The problem is how to properly setup the Dust secondary market in a way that can interact with the Eve secondary market. Keep in mind that Eve's economy is delicate and any error in the programming in Dust can translate to exploitation and bad news for Eve.
Of course, CCP has their own in-house economist whose job is to make sure the secondary market is as balanced as possible when it comes to this kind of stuff. And CCP does have plenty of experience dealing with economic shenanigans and market exploitations so I don't see CCP having any problem implementing the market into Dust. Sure, CCP does have a history of screwups with Dust's FPS mechanics, but the market is something CCP takes very seriously and wants to get it right the first time.
But the meantime I don't think it should be any problem to implement at least a basic trade window for private transactions. Eve Online has a basic trade window as well and Eve players often use it for all sorts of trades including scams. Play your cards right and you will see massive profit. Pull out the wrong cards and you lose to the house.
OK, CCP. When are knives finally going to be improved?

It seems like the "salvage" is actually scripted to specifically give you items that your skills don't support. So true. Why the salvage gods decided that what I really want are breach shotguns and tactical scrambler pistols I will never understand. The only salvage I've ever gotten than I use are ADV forge guns, I did get about 50 of those over the last year that I am using a lot now that my swarms are crap.
Call me a tinfoil hat wearer, but I think this is done purposefully in public contracts so that players have an incentive to trade. You have something I want but I also have something you want. Let's trade. 
This can also encourage players to "negotiate" bargain prices but that's on a whole different level of meta gaming.

It would appear that the Dust Marketplace is functioning like the Eve Marketplace (with sell-orders being generated non-player wise). Its actually quite interesting to watch those graphs change over time (with game population and form's). I don't know how functional it really is mind you, but it looks like they are getting closer to having Eve/Dust economy to the point where they can flip a switch in the code and be opened for business.
If the secondary market comes in, expect to see me become an active market trader instantly.
