This is a small step towards secondary market activity in Dust. I am ambitious, and Dust has been built around some of the most ambitious anb bold concepts to hit Playstation combat, so why not be ambitious here too?
EVE Online is composed of ores and mined materials that Capsuleers are interested in purchasing from other capsuleers who have gone through the effort (ice mining, planatery colonizing, ect) to obtain them.
If you attached a certain "mineral value" to selling a slavaged weapon in the (NPC?) market in Dust... and then translated it into a desirable benefit that ore-mining capsuleers would want to get their hands on in EVE (like getting 20% of your minerals from recycled scrambler guns at the space station so you spend 20% less time doing dangerous mining in low sec)...THAT could be our secondary marketplace!

This is a GOOD thread!
If what youGÇÖve explained here is correct, this could open up TWO effective GÇ£secondary marketplaceGÇ¥ machines in our game. One a GÇ£local Merc-to-local MercGÇ¥ market (having nothing to do with CapsuleersGÇÖ interests or finances), and one an GÇ£NPC-styleGÇ¥ market that works just like a pawnshop than a marketplace, where each of us Mercs on her own goes up to the window and sells off our battlefield loot for plain ISK.
IGÇÖm not happy with any AURUM-based items being re-introduced on a secondary market in Dust. GÇ£AurumGÇ¥ as we know, is the REAL credit card monetary component of the game that gets profits for Sony. If we get players are crafty enough (...and we know we ARE) to scheme a method of obtaining AURUM-based gear through the GÇ£secondary marketGÇ¥ instead of through credit card purchase, weGÇÖd be bypassing SonyGÇÖs agreed method of profit----and thatGÇÖs not right.
If you had to get the item by using credit card/Aurum directly in the New Eden Marketplace, that should be the ONLY way ANYONE can obtain it, not by trading non-aurum items for it, not by GÇ£resellingGÇ¥ or GÇ£swappingGÇ¥ BrianGÇÖs aurum plasma cannon for BettyGÇÖs aurum HAV, nothing arranged through a secondary market scheme. ItGÇÖs just too dangerous.
The only thing that should fly back and forth in a secondary market is salvaged ISK-obtained gear, and raw ISK. Whether this occurs Merc-to-NPC or can be arranged Merc-to-Merc, is up to whatever CCP can devise.
