HI - just been doing a few rares runs - Fujin to Lave clusters and have found rares sell prices are ridiculously low - I did these runs a few days ago and all was normal - making 500,000 or so a trip now I cant sell my goods at a profit. I've jumped about from station to station but they are still all at really low prices - lower than I paid. Is there a problem?
The prices stations buy commodities for now vary much more, depending on the state the station's owner faction is in.
If they have economical problems they will sell high and buy low, and vice versa.
We have to pay more attention to states, now. Boom is your friend.

Nope. I think they price range can vary even more, considering their nature, and sometimes they can be unavailable entirely.
I have experienced this issue too. Just quit the station menu, reload it and the market and than it can show the right prices. If this doesn't workes quit to main menu and rejoin, or quit the game complete, restart launcher and than the game. This should fix the prices for rares in most cases. But FDev should better fix it early than late
Ah and i hope you don't need the hint about the range. The more distance, the better the price. If you reached more than 160 ly from were you bought, you reach max price.

this is no bug on FD side, but a bug on EDMC, which is used for many third party market tools: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showt...dities-List!?p=3979131&viewfull=1#post3979131

@OP actually, no matter the state, you should make profit 160 ly away - more, when target system is in boom, less when it is in bust or civil war etc. --- but that effect is around +25%/-25% on the usual sell price. if you make no profit, i guess you are using EDMC or similar, too?
No - I was 170 odd light years away...
I tried the reloading, jumping to another station... haven't quit ans restarted the game yet but will try that later...
I was going to post the same thing as Goemon, because I've mentioned this same bug to several players who've experienced non-profitable rares prices and it's always been the case that they're using EDMC.
The latest update of EDMC has a feature that logs automatically whenever you dock at a station, and this new feature is switched on by default. If you are a rares trader, then you probably want to turn off this new feature (it's a tick box option) and do manual EDMC updates after you've opened the commodities screen.
You get the correct rares profit as long as you open the commodities page before updating with EDMC.

ahh.. that makes sense - it only happened after the EDMC update
I'll give it a bash tonight and report back.
when a non-official third party software interrogates the server, after which the server sends back an incorrect answer, which it otherwise doesn't, it is for sure a bug of the server ;-)
So if I were to compare this to other games, is this something like complaining on the official CS:GO forums that a wall hack software isn't working correctly and shows enemies where they aren't?
