[BUG?] Can't sell my Tarach Spice

Cougar · Feb 12, 2015

I have some Tarach Spice (rare good, illegal in some stations) in my cargo hold.

Whenever I try to sell it (either normal market in stations where it is legal, or black market), I get the message "Transaction Confirmed" in the trade window, but nothing happens - neither do I get any credits, nor is the cargo removed from my hold. Tried several star systems and stations, relogging, waiting overnight etcpp. All other trading works fine.

Did that happen to anyone else, and is there a way around it without just dropping the cargo into space (if that even works)?

Sounds like reappearance of a bug from beta that people used to get.

I also have this bug.. Have you done a ticket?

Ok, the Spice loves me ... AND it has a frame shift drive.

Seriously, I just want to get rid of it now, and when I jettison it next to a convenient sun, it is not displayed anymore in my cargo list.

So far, so good, I thought (slightly regretting the 100k credits profit). However, when I next docked, it suddenly has reappeared in my cargo hold. Tried twice, same effect.

Something broken here I think. Though I wish I could sell it for credits, and have it follow me around afterwards, would be a nice source of income

I've been having this same problem since at least 1.1.0. It sits there but won't sell at black markets, and I haven't stopped at a station on my route yet that will take it directly.

Yep.
It happened shortly after release around the 30th of December. I had to self destruct my Asp to get rid of the sticky cargo, though I got an insurance refund with a ticket to Support.

It was for all commodities if I remember well.

The same thing is hapenning me with Albino Quechua Mammoth. All the other rares I've been trading are OK but this one is exactly as described. Can't sell it, can't discard it, it just sits in my cargo hold.

Same problem (Tarach Spice)

Returned to my home system to swap into my stored Eagle, but cannot while my current ship has cargo.... the unsellable spice.

Returned to tarach tor - (no demand, not unexpected). After attempting to jettison the Tarach Spice (again) outside the station - my Cargo display indicates that the spice has gone. I am then unable to engage FSD to jump to another system - the warning indicates that hardpoints or cargo scoop is deployed. I tried deploying and then retracting hardpoints and landing gear, but still unable to engage FSD.

I tried docking at the station (at this point the spice re-appears in the cargo). I exit the station but still am unable to engage FSD.

I save and exit to the main menu, then I re-enter the game (all outside the station) At this point I can engage the FSD drive - of course I STILL have the spice in my cargo.

Raised Ticket #00000037920 on 12/02/2015 - no reply yet.

Posts from the original issue gave the solution of destroying your ship - seems extreme - I am just trading & ignoring the spice. Fortunately I have 97 other cargo slots. No doubt some pirate will help me by destroying the ship at some point.
