Newcomer / Intro Do Rare Alcohols sell for more at Rackham's Peak?

Does anyone know if Rare Goods like Lavian Brandy sell for any more than normal at Rackham's Peak?

I'm just curious if it's worth trying to load up a few thousand rare goods and heading up there, or if it will only pay as much there as it would anywhere else far enough from the buy point.

Cheers!

Yeah, "Worth trying" in terms of monetary reward... nah. You will have earned more money by doing basically anything else in the bubble in that time that took you to circle everything and load up.
But "Worth trying" in a sense of "I have a week off and nothing better to do" - hell yes, sounds like a nice field trip. :)

If a comodity is marked as "rare", the 150LY markup applies, no matter what it is.

Sorry if I wasn't clear, let me rephrase.

The system containing Rackham's Peak, 5000ly from the bubble, pays approximately 100x the normal price for Wine, Beer, and Liquor. When it was first constructed, there was a galnet article stating that it was also requesting shipments of most rare alcohols. Specifically the following quote:

"Rackham's Peak is currently offering high prices for deliveries of beer, liquor, wine, Bast Snake Gin, Centauri Mega Gin, Chateau De Aegaeon, Eranin Pearl Whisky, Gerasian Gueuze Beer, Harma Silver Sea Rum, Indi Bourbon, Kongga Ale, Lavian Brandy, Leestian Evil Juice, Saxon Wine, Thrutis Cream and Wuthielo Ku Froth."

So my question is whether or not these rare goods will also see the same increase to prices as seen with the non-rare alcohols at that station. Being 5000ly away, the rare good distance modifier would definitely be maxed out, but the price could potentially go even higher than that, depending on whether the increased price modifier specifically at Rackham's Peak was designed to include rare goods, as well.

Yes, thank you, but my question is whether the increased prices for alcohols at Rackham's Peak also applies to Rare alcohols.

If you can set up a market comparison to Rackam's load up a tonne of ordinary booze and a tonne of a rare booze and check the prices there and at a location only 160Ly away.

The information could be in the threads about Rackham's when it launched over in DD and IIRC there was a Community Goal there which also might have the info.

Failing that you might have to take some there yourself seeing as the rares bonus only shows in the market place prices if you have them in your cargo.

Agree with earlier posts that, even with the mark up, it isn't cost effective, either in terms of time/profit or in terms of fuel expended.

To that, the answer is no, unfortunately.
"Normal" commodities' prices are driven by the market. That means if there's ridiculous demand, the prices will get equally ridiculous (like your 100x the galactic average you've mentioned)
The "rare" goods, however are not governed by the market and their price is simply a flat-out markup depending on distance from the origin up to approximately 150LY. After that, their prices remain constant.

TL/DR - if you find a market with great demand of "something", hauling that "something" there will be more profitable than any rare commodity.
