Look at all this money in 1 hour…
Less than 2 Million to buy, 5 Million to sell, take away 700,000 sales costs per 5 Million. That’s at least 6 Million profit per hour just for 3 cars, and you can sell 20 cars if you want.
So you can make a fortune!
You don’t need to be an artist either, just download someone else’s designs, and put them on cars.
Oh wow
Id rather make credits playing the game
No interest with the auction house and taking advantage of those without a clue
I totally agree.
I only put cars up for auction when I have duplicates. I put them up for the suggested minimums (opening bid and buyouts) so someone can get a bargain. If they don’t sell, no big deal. I just delete them.
ok
In a sour mood in regards to routecomp2, So I am just gonna put this here as reference to spamming a topic in an attempt to get people to buy your overpriced car and vain attempt at a pyramid scheme.
Nobody says anything about profiting in the auction house.
Now… lets try out this report button.
Classic scamming. If you don’t have the legendary ranking, you cannot place the big buyouts and will never make what you invest. More befitting of Jita 4-4. Try there.
I don’t have legendary status, they are the regular prices of the cars in the picture. In fact I didn’t raise them up too high so that the cars would sell more easily. You can easily check yourself, you can raise them up to 9 Million, but I didn’t, they wouldn’t sell at 9 Million. The skill is in getting the price right.
So you can sell them at my prices, you can also look how much you can buy them for quite easily. I bought them for 1.7 Million. That’s a big profit, and no legendary status.
Basically you are reporting me for making a profit in the auction, and telling people how to do it.
Oh, good. I thought I was going mad or something.
No, it was just because this post had been made by yourself before in the shared link was all and in the current mood, I am dubious of the honesty of people so tend to find alterior motives that may or may not exist. So if this was an honest attempt to share tips, I apologize for that.
But presentation is a big part of my skepticism. Perhaps is something with regional dialect? I do not know. It is the opener of “for those saying you cannot make money” which hasn’t been a complaint I have seen. Only the complaint about buyout prices being limited if not of a rating. But then it comes with sharing a barn find. My views also are tweaked a bit after many years in eve online which is what the Jita 4-4 references. That is the main trading hub of eve. The buy this sell this is a common scam where peeps create a false interest in a good so people looking for a quick buck buy in on something that really has a limited value or resale ability. Often times working with a short term market control until purchases drop off and then they let walk away.
Get rich quick schemes only work in most every time for the one who thinks it up. They then share it when the market is saturated for the gullible who then buy up the remaining asset of the one sharing their idea who get off clear of any negative assets and leave the ones they share it with footing the bills.
It’s just a game with an auction in it that’s part of the game, it’s not real money you know.
I only up the price on the rarest cars, and even then it’s only by a small margin, I feel better earning credits actually playing the game and not ripping people off. Some people hoard credits in these games even after obtaining every purchasable car to the point of being able to buy everything in the game multiple times, and then still keep ripping people off by painting a car with an ugly garbage livery and cranking the price up to 20 mill when they are sitting on the credit cap.
You can’t rip people off in an auction, but you can insult people in a thread.
lol
if it was up to me i’d get rid of this “painter privilege” stuff and hae the bonus of uploading good paints and tunes simply being a better payout per download/use/like. I dont know why they need to let a small selection of the playerbase essentially scam other users by sniping cars then reselling at 10x the price just cause.
Why cant a good painter get rewarded by thier paints just being used, as they are used. I mean i cant imagine top artists get 20 million dollars for just existing, they actually have to go out there and do works for thier pay. And the funny thing is, they do get rewards for thier work because thier work does all the talking, thats why they get well known
TLDR version - buff credit payments for download/use/likes and abolish “legendary” AH scammer mode
I don’t agree with your definition of the auction house functionality for those with legendary status as a ‘scam’ or ‘scammer mode’. Scams by definition are a fraudulent or dishonest scheme or swindle. That’s not in any way what’s going on here. The buyer knows exactly what they’re getting and exactly what the price is. They are not being forced to buy it. Don’t want the car at a 20M credit price … don’t buy it. Simple as that.
Knowing and accepting that one is being charged a dishonest amount under an unfair practice doesn’t change the dishonesty or unfairness. But, hey, call it a “legitimate business” if you like.
Yeah bro, we all know real-world Ferrari’s should be sold at Prius price tag, I personally would buy 3 for myself.
Unfortunately the whole world is a scam like that.
You can look at the other car prices, and compare, you aren’t blind in the auction house. I was going to pay 20 Million for the new Honda Civic 18, but I got it cheaper.
What I thought the title was trying to say was: You don’t need legendary status to make money in the AH.
That was the apparent point of the post, or at least the “trying to be helpful” component. As opposed to the “I just made 15 mil!” component. Maybe not the most artful way of titling it, but I feel like I’ve heard complaining about the huge markups legendary painters can throw out there and it’s not that long a walk to think that at least some of those people feel like the AH doesn’t work for them. It made sense to me.
I don’t really like the AH and only use it for unicorn hunting, which I do but hate. It is what it is. But …
… although I just remove cars I don’t want, I think a lot of people like to be able to get a fraction of the sticker price in the AH instead of nothing. And others like buying for a fraction. The strategy in the OP is basically this. Yeah, it’s a barn find, but it has a value and 5 mil was a fraction. And somebody on the other end agreed. Nobody had a gun to their head. It wasn’t a scam, it was capitalism. That’s the AH being used as intended, and, yes, anyone can make money doing legitimate business in the AH, regardless of status.
I don’t think some of the reactions were warranted.
Thank you! That’s correct.
I don’t know why some would willingly pay this much just for liveries that you can easily get for free, assuming you already have the cars of course. Also I wouldn’t say you can’t make a huge profit in auction house but it’s pretty much dependent on luck if you aren’t selling the rarest vehicles.
