PSU-Item: Photon Fair Pricing

[Reiichi]

If you list photons for cheap half the time they'll be bought up by photon resellers. Sell them to me and I'll use them for weapons rather than reselling them at 100k. Any 9* with low %s go into my shop for around 250-350k depending on the % so it's not like I'm ripping off the rest of the community. Or am I?

If you're hell bent on selling your photons for a retardedly low price just so you can sleep at night, lock up your shop and give the password out only to people you know won't resell them.

If you are trying to go for a "legit" feel, then most of the photons sell for about 30-50 meseta on Xbox, however, some try to sell for over a hundred but I don't think anyone buys them at that price.

I've noticed that I can find all elemental photons priced (usually) within reason on 360, however, I have a HELL of a time finding Im-Photons as drops (idk why that would be?) and I sometimes have to resort to buying them from players shops. Makes it a pain as they are one of the only photons I cant find at a good price, averaging at least 100M a pop =

However, if I were on PC, and trying to sell my photons (I NEVER EVER sell mine, I have intentions of using most of them) I'd just go with the market and sell them for the average price, unless I had a password'd shop only available to my friends, then I'd sell at very reasonable prices, as to not rape them and be ridiculous. Then again, I dont play on PC, so I'm not speaking from experience.

OT: I've been having a lot more run-ins with over-priced player shops lately, i.e. mainly grinder bases. I decided that while I have a lot of luck (my New's & Hu's this week) I should be doing lots of grinding, but I had to buy most of my grinders at the NPC as 95% of players sell them for more than the NPC charges :screwy: who're they trying to fool?

I charge what I consider to be a fair price for photons, doing the maths and working backwards from what you'd get from a Photon selling it to a NPC shop. If other people want to rip others off and make money by reselling my photons, let them be.

Hopefully by charging a fair price people will be encouraged to revisit my shop in future and buy other stuff other than photons - a returning customer is a valued thing!
