Just wait for all the schlubs currently q syncing to get suits to all get them on the market at the same time.
You can sit around and wait for your perceived value to come along, but those who are more market savvy will be selling their wares while you sit and look at your collection of skins in your assets.
How much loose ISK do you think is floating around?
Do you really think people are sitting on hundreds of millions of isk and those people aren't the same ones you are grinding alongside?
Not that I mind, I figure I will grab a skin at a bargain price a few months from now when you guys have bottomed the market out because none of you understand that scarcity drives value.
I got a good kick out of joining a q sync in AFW and hearing all the people talk about how close they were to skin x,y and z. You are going to oversupply the market, so you you better get real comfortable with lower prices.

Then you won't sell yours. Its quite simple really.
You are grinding LP for a price point that will never be reached, I foresee much disappointment in your future.

And you missed staying awake for basic econ. Until you learn the basics of both the market you are in, and the clientele you are trying to sell to, you are sure to be grumpy at people not meeting your unrealistic value expectations.
Enjoy your piles of unsold LP, keep thinking that your time is valuable for playing Dust.
Hot tip: It isn't.

Aero Yassavi wrote:1) Oversupply? No. If you're collecting LP to sell items you agent cashing in the LP until you know what the buyer wants. There will be no surplus stuck in anyone's inventory.
2) I'm not even suggesting the high price because I want the ISK, it's because currently loyalty skins are a cool item that you cannot buy with aurum, only way to get them is fighting FW. Selling them for cheap ISK destroys the perceived value for those who earned them traditionally. Honestly I'm thinking of just campaigning to keep them non tradeable forever.
That LP is the oversupply. You are not the only person grinding FW. There are plenty of others doing it as well, they all have LP, just like you, and are looking to eventually convert it to ISK, just like you.
The people you are playing beside are the people you will be fighting for customers with.
Now, you can all get together and collude to charge stupid prices for your wares, and watch the customers q up for FW themselves, or just pass on funding your gameplay.
If you don't fix the market, you might find that your squaddie goes hard broke and finds himself in need of an ISK injection, at which point someone offering say 50m is going to look very appealing to them. Are you ready to buy him out of his LP to maintain your artificial value on your LP? If you are not, then you should just enjoy seeing how high you can get you LP wallet, because converting it to ISK isn't going to work out too well for you.
I think you are suggesting a high price because you think your time is far more valuable than it is. Common mistake, but don't say I didn't warn you.
As to keeping them untradeable, good luck with that crusade, I suspect that all the others grinding LP to sell suits would stand against you on that matter just as they will undercut your price points when the time comes.

Honestly I'm feeling pretty good at convincing my position to the Rat Lord. It's not as if those farming LP won't have other stuff to sell ( APEX, Sepecialist gear, Etc)
Oh, so your are not only ignorant and delusional, you are also vain. Good to know.
