What on earth is going on with photons? I had piles and piles of photons from using the linear line as my PA grinding spot, noticed that people were trying to sell them for 5k apiece, put all of mine up for 1k apiece, and now have half a million meseta. While I'm rather happy about this, I'm also very, very confused. You can easily get 10-15 photons for a sprint through linear line, why are people paying so much for 'em?

Because people want there 30%+ Elemental Weapons, and dont want to waste time looking for photons.

500k on PC/PS2 servers is a drop in the bucket, that's why.

You are rich because meseta was duped. Actually, you probably aren't even really rich, in comparison to most others.

Considering how much lower you sell them then most ppl on pc/ps2 i'm not surprised you sold out your photons. I've seen 20k maybe 50k for ray-photns being the mean price.

Yeah, I just sold a stack of 40 Ray-Photons for 80k Meseta each, as well as several others for around 70k to 40k a piece.

On the bright side, (was there a dark side?) my Rice Cakes are finally selling for 10k a piece now too. I never actually meant for them to sell though... it's just tradition for the Naula Cake Shop to sell their confectionaries for uber prices. Now I have to go farm more Rice Cake boards and sell them for 100k.

Depending on my haul, I sell them for 10-20K. I try and sell most of my gear for less than most, but for prices that, to me, are still a little ridiculous. I don't know how else I'd be able to buy all my combat gear.

Furniture is even crazier. I sold 3 ugly ass BT Lovers for 800K each. I assume 1 person bought all 3 and is selling them for quite a bit more;p
