Bright Cloud Namtar Elite Gallente Federation 1	Posted - 2015.05.26 17:56:00 - [1] - Quote 13.730.220 ISK. Yup thats right folks less then 15 mil ISK. How i got that number? Quite simple i compared how many proto suits i could get for 23.800 AUR and that number is exactly 238 proto suits. So lets do some math here: -1 proto suit AUR suit equals to 57.690 ISK -i could buy 238 suits for the price of 1 skin - 238X 57.690 ISK= 13.730.220 ISK So if you are trading Skins or are looking to buy a skin you should keep that in mind. If some 1 offers you 25 mil+ ISK for a skin then you allready get more ISK value out of it. So dont be silly and put 100 mil+ pricetags out cause allmost nobody is that stupid. Due to prestige/other nonesense the arguable pricetag would be probs 30 mil which is over 100% then your AUR was originally worth. Rudimentary Mercs of scrubs and incompetence. You touch my mind, fumbling in Ignorance, incapable of understanding.

XxGhazbaranxX Eternal Beings 1	Posted - 2015.05.26 18:10:00 - [3] - Quote I would have contradicted you if it was bpo suits but since its just skins it sounds like a reasonable price. But I would add an extra 30% simply because of my ability to actually buy the damn skin. That said I dont mean to price gauge and I would never sell a skin (I bought it fer meh), but supply and demand are going to change these numbers Plasma Cannon Advocate

el OPERATOR Capital Acquisitions LLC 1	Posted - 2015.05.26 20:27:00 - [6] - Quote AUR proto gear also allows for use without having the normally required skillset at V. This very important benefit is undoubtedly rolled into that AUR price so eben that 13M listed above would be high. Open-Beta Vet. Egbinger Original. DUST514 is WARFARE, not WAR-FAIR

People don't care how hard it was for you to win, what you sacrificed for it, etc. They want a reasonable price that they can afford as a substitute for their time. A couple of weeks ago I was in the same place you were....but I realise 100M ISK is a huge sum of money for most players. If you think about it another way " NO ONE IS PAYING FOR YOU TO RUN PROTO FITS IN A GAME MODE YOU ALREADY RUN". Asking them to do so is asking too much. "Crush all who complain!" `- Arkena Wyrnspire`

You do not lose 85M ISK in the earning of the Dropsuit. Even I don't by fielding HAV. You might lose in the 50 Battles to the top 20M ISK. That means with the additiona 10M ISK cost you are recouping your losses and making 35 Million ISK profit. "Crush all who complain!" `- Arkena Wyrnspire`
Aero Yassavi Praetoriani Classiarii Templares Praetoria Imperialis Excubitoris 10	Posted - 2015.05.27 00:48:00 - [19] - Quote True you're missing the point. It's not about how much ISK I'm losing in FW, and it extends pay traditional supply/demand. It's about how much easier it is to farm 30-50M ISK than get 100k LP, and there being no other way to earn them. I'm not ever going to sell a loyalty skin for that cheap because it dimishes the value of seeing someone who owns it. In all honesty loyalty skins should never be tradeable, but if they are at least being willing to give up 100M ISK denotes a strong loyalty to a faction. 30-50M ISK does not.

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. Mr. Hybrid Vayu.

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. Mr. Hybrid Vayu.

Aur ones yea u spend real like money but still easy to aquire if u are trying to get for free in game currency expect hefty price cuz someone actually spent their real life money to get.

Quite simple i compared how many proto suits i could get for 23.800 AUR and that number is exactly 238 proto suits. So lets do some math here: -1 proto suit AUR suit equals to 57.690 ISK (100 AUR a suit) -i could buy 238 suits for the price of 1 skin - 238X 57.690 ISK= 13.730.220 ISK So if you are trading Skins or are looking to buy a skin you should keep that in mind. If some 1 offers you 25 mil+ ISK for a skin then you allready get more ISK value out of it. So dont be silly and put 100 mil+ pricetags out cause allmost nobody is that stupid. Due to prestige/other nonesense the arguable pricetag would be probs 30 mil which is over 100% then your AUR was originally worth. A suit is worthless without any gear on it btw. Did you happen to factor that in as well. Tanks - Balancing Turrets
Oswald Rehnquist 1	Posted - 2015.05.27 02:32:00 - [34] - Quote I don't understand the hostility here. I think everyone understands the basics of supply and demand, this isn't shocking news, The Invisible hand has been on the bookshelves for a while now. The price of 50 mill for a skin simply lowers the profit margin you can gain with that LP. I mean the consumable markets have performance boosting value and apex have actually isk value, skins do not, so lower demand does push down prices but the supply is going to be even lower. You'd make more selling the other items rather than skins, also overstocking specialist consumables has more utility for the seller than overstocking skins which become completely useless. I don't expect the LP skin market supply to really be all that high due to these constraints, and any increase to it will entirely be driven by an actual desire for it by non or low factional players, which I don't see happening either. The best chance you guys have for dirt cheap skins are right when the market opens up (if it does) due to a possible over prediction of the potential demand for them from sellers. Otherwise they are just going to get more expensive as people shift their LP towards more profitable items. Below 28 dB

Did you happen to factor that in as well. Suits are the base which every 1 has to use. I stated the raw value but since there is the greed factor you could charge 2/2.5 times that much and we are looking at somewhere around 25~30mil ISK. Its just as a reference so people dont put out stupid demnds like 80 million ISK for a AUR skin. Plus the math above cannot be applied to FW navy skins. Rudimentary Mercs of scrubs and incompetence. You touch my mind, fumbling in Ignorance, incapable of understanding.

One time I had enough money in eve to do an isk transfer with gyn Wallace and got 50 million isk and spent it in a week of playing pubs and fw :( Only 40k LP to show for it too so it's possible to spend mega isk in FW to earn apex and skins :-/ Michael Epic's "EPIC" Proposal to his girlfriend :D

This made my day. I was always using DUST ISK to fund EVE (transfered 100s of millions of DUST ISK). I usually spend around 20mil (restocking) per 100K LP. BPO Trade Stall

Because the extra isk was insurance I seen at least 15 people get scammed trying to buy at 20 mill Most people that are actually selling these AUR skins Will be selling at 30-40 mill o7 addicted to the Kubo's GMK-16 banana cannon
