Black Market Discount Tech now broken in a new and improved way!

from Sins Forums
This almost had me rofl when I found it just now. The Favored Client Discount tech that's supposed to reduce the cost to buy resources now does something: It makes them more expensive!    As Blair will probably say "eeeek!" Well at least they TRIED to fix it .

the price of resources is directly effected by the demand for the resource.

ya i'm not sure but i do agree with tristangoodes because once I was playing and i guess the demand for crystal was way up because it was over 1000 credits for 100 crystal...lol

I don't think anyone knows. But, as a rule of thumb:

Prices go up as people buy, prices go down as people sell, as time passes prices (slowly) "normalize" to an artificial norm.

I have seen prices go up as people sell, and it also seems that selling prices aren't influenced much by how much you sell or buy.

They either don't change as much or they normalize a lot faster, but I've seen sell prices drop below 100.

Wow, I thought 200 was a minimum.

Its one hundred only because you might have not had a full unit(100 of the resource) to sell.

Ah, that makes sense.

Yea, if you look at the little thing it tells you how much you are selling, usually it is a hundred. I hope though that in the fuure you would be able to sell things in bulk and at much better prices. Same with buying in bulk.
