- Should i refine the materials i mine before selling or sell them raw ?
- How much do people usually charge for Oil and for Melchi Crystal ?
Im not sure where to stick this thread so if its in the wrong forum then im sorry 
I wonder if refining would offer anything as we’ve only just started out Cabal, and not had to refine much but each time I have refined I’ve noticed no raise in any skill… but then it hasn’t happened enough times to warrant an increase in anything possibly.
We have found that selling the refined items to other colonists seems to show more potential in gaining PED than sales to the Trade Computer. Using the auction system to determine how much a good rate for sale or offer seems to be a rather effective way of locating a good middle ground to start a price.
In addition to the questions, I will ask this; does anyone know at what skill level you start finding or being able to find unique pockets of enmatter resources?
Refined is a Bonus!
The Prices of Oil and Melchi arn’t static
A good site to get a image about current Marked Prices you can find HERE.
But keep this Prices with a healty pice of suspection. Auctions CAN and WILL faked to manipulate statistics like this. If you dont have a bigger ammount of Stuff for sale, lets say minnimum 40 Peds and the expected marked price is lower as 120% you should try to sell your stuff on the Streets to safe the 1 Ped auction fee. If you sell on the Street dont copy some stupid people who spam the Chat all 10 Seconds. 1 Call every 2 minutes should enough. When i see someone is spamming i will ignore his offers.
If you have higher ammounts for sale use the Auction to reach a lot of People.
If you totally unsure set the price for TT value +1 Ped and no buyout for 2 Days. Try to set the Auction End on a Weekend

Ah, many thanks for the advice. We’ll keep an eye on the market, currently we seem to have come across some very nice marketeers, and the auction system is treating us quite well so far.
I’m glad the TT system is in place and the entire sale system isn’t run by player set prices. I recall too many times in certain other virtual universes where that never works and literally kills the market.
