The vendor agent will put the re-sale value at 35%, and loyalty ranks will be able to push this percentage even higher. If CCP wanted to mimic real world economics, we would probably start closer to 15% and max out around 35% of the original value. And this all assumes that the product or goods being sold are actually in demand, so that pile of militia AR's collecting dust in your assets are probably worth less than 10% of their purchase price new! Interesting perspective.
Yes, but it's still a game, reality has proven to not be a good comparison.

Maybe start from 35% and go to 50% is more reasonable.
So due to the rules of the english language, you want to sell something

Thanks for noticing it, people think that they'll earn a lot, but considering all the time you spent to salvage all those stuffs, all you'll have in return will be arround 5M if you're lucky.
Sorry for my bad english.

I see this argument used quite frequently on the forums, and it has merit when applied to the sci-fi "lazors in space" aspects of the game, but I'm not sure if it applies as easily to the basic fundamentals of economics. Eve is by and large a very accurate simulation of real world commerce in the way supply and demand are handled, so CCP obviously has an interest in holding true to the way we as a species have come to trade with one another.

Yep, but it's not worth all this development time spent to make this option a thing. With 5M I'll just buy 20 more proto suits

Since there is not player trading in Dust, a higher rate of exchange in my opinion would be better for all, i already have isk and i already have SP put on a lot of things (salvage), in my case sell items is just a matter of clean my assets, but a new player with few isk and SP?
