[Trading] Fair Platinum Pricing For Baro's Items

When Baro’s in the system peddling his goods people often have to guess at the prices. Some aim too high, while some aim too low.

Buy at a high price and you’re wasting your plat. Buy at a price that is too low and you’re wasting your time. If you have plat and a bit of patience this guide can help you save plat and time with something in between.



Fair Pricing for Ducats
Have you ever seen people buy prime parts for 1p each? That’s a fair price. Since most prime parts can be traded for 10 ducats your exchange rate then becomes:

1p = 10 ducats

If you use this then the Prisma Grakata which needs 610 ducats + 100k credits will convert to 61 p.

Consider the 100k credits though and round it up to about 65 p – 70 p. There then is your buying price. I just bought 1 for 70p and got an offer immediately after posting my price “B> Prisma Grakata for 70p”

If you use the same logic you can get Prisma Skana (510 ducats +175k credits) for about 60p.

Use it as your base price and go up or down by 5 p increments based on availability.




What To Do With the Ducats I Save?
Buy the cosmetic items. These can’t be traded while weapons and mods can.

Pardon the my Frost Prime's drab color scheme

Disclaimer
Just remember that this only applies while Baro is still in the system selling what you’re buying. The prices increase after he leaves.

This is just pricing guide. Follow it if you will but you ultimately will be the one shelling out the platinum and it is your time that you’re burning. In terms of buying prices, lower prices will take longer and higher prices get faster offers. The choice is still yours.
