Today I quickly browsed the auction and saw a lot of imp/adj or other weapons in the 10K to 50K ped price range for sale. I would say around 20 weapons like ML-35, Adj Starkov, ML-45, Imp. FF 8k, Imp Ep-21, Adj. Omegaton, MK-IV, MK-V are atm in auction waiting for a puyer at the peak priceses we have atm.
This is without all the Selling threads here in EF Forum like Star selling lots of 5 or 6 figure items or the Castel Sale, and also does not include all the shops with IMK2 or similar weapons and the uber or ubers who are atm selling out.
Is this something we will have to live with or is this a sign that the future of EU does not anymore look as bright as some thought some time ago and therfore reduce their financial risk?
It seams to me that not only Weapons but also Armor and Uber Faps are among the items changing hand a lot more than last year.
PS: This is my Opinion and it may be not true but in my 3,5 years I cant remember to have seen so much highend items at once for sale.
RL exchange rates
impending change of EU to possibly allow for more “investments”
different UL (L) items dropping allowing some ppl who previously had those to gain a better eco.
ubers having more than one uber item they dont need.
People cashing in on the higher prices
sky is falling
etc
I would not say it’s not bright. Maybe some just want to place their money elsewhere and get the amount they think they can get now for their uber weapons (also believing there might be new things to “buy” when new engine and planets comes around)? I always thought about it this way, that to buy one of the guns/uber item, you most likely would need to deposit money. you wont take any money from the game - but pay with your own. If anyone withdraws, they get the money from someone else, and it’s not MA but another player. Money will still be here .. not?
I might be wrong, but I don’t (yet) see a financial crisis…
Too many UL SIB items dropping - non SIB are becoming less popular due to that (eco hunt wise)
Owners who bought them exclusively for investment purpouses are obviously convinced that this is the max the certain set of pixels is worth money wise…
3 (less possible))
Because ppl realised that MA can create a 40k$ value like this:
Id tend to think too that its people selling to take advantage of the nice high prices atm. And they may be looking to put that PED elsewhere in game. Probably a few need the money in rl or most likely in EU if they are like me these days. The cost has went up a bit for all. I still believe the EU economy will stay in flux for a good bit until after cryengine and space come around. Then slowly we`ll settle back into feeling comfortable with it barring any huge developments.
New L weapons, and possible future L weapons, are competitive, and in some cases better, than many of the old UL weapons. I think the sellers are maybe realizing this and getting rid of them while the value is still high.
I wouldn’t mind owning some of the older weapons, but not when I can get a comparable L weapon for a fraction of the price.
