Newcomer / Intro I smell a rat!

[hawknerd]

According to Inara I can buy LTD for say 3k and sell it in the same system but a different station for 1.720M.
Something is very fishy about this. I am wondering if it is a lure to get you there and then pirates pick you off.
But if it is real then it is 1B per run profit minimum. In the same system.

You can't buy LTD except from a carrier, and I would expect that carrier to be "invitation only"

 

[hawknerd]

Inara is showing the carrier says to allow all dockers.

 

[Badman76]

Which system? I'll check it out for you

 

[hawknerd]

LOL- I cant say really!! I think I will give it a try and then report back.

Good luck and watch your six.

Found (what I think was) the same carrier you were talking about, and flew to it. Looks like the owner put it as "docking access everyone" whenever the market reset, then turned it back to squadron+friends only afterwards. Unless you found somewhere else?

 

[hawknerd]

Opportunity gone now. Selling carrier moved 300Ly away. Demand and price as per carrier still seem good. Just not the same system anymore but rather 300Ly away. Cant work out why carrier has such a low sell price for LTDs?

Was it the Green Island?

 

[Maggie_Oz]

It's probably so low as a credits transfer mechanism

 

[hawknerd]

Yep Green Island rings a bell.

yea, Green Island is Squadron and Friends only. I followed it after it jumped. It looks like the owner simply switched it to all access around when Inara updated their market database, and then later turned it off
