Seeking luxury goods

Hawkeye · Jan 2, 2015

Hi All,

in evarate system I found a signal source by the name of 'seeking luxury goods' however once I've dropped out of SC, I get some repeating comms from the several ships there asking if I want to trade.

Question is, how do I trade, it must be a black market outpost but ther is no way to trade, or maybe there is and I am missing it?

Any help would be appreciated.

Just get close to the ship (< 1KM) with the commodity that he's requesting (you'll see this kind of cryptically mentioned by the trader in you comms panel).

I noticed this in another system, there were a load of sources all with the same description. First time I've seen it. But, yes, to trade with someone like that fly very close and they will take the stuff straight from your hold and credit you with the cash.

Thanks for the response,

I take it then, that I cannot buy from the trader only sell?

another step was given n another thread, take a cargo scanner, find out what his carrying and he will buy those items off u automatically when u get close ( they wont buy items they dont already have) and so far they dont sell to players ( the faction that the ship belongs to are trying to bypass lockdown statuses of systems its a political thing behind the background simulator) by selling to them u are helping that faction economically, its like blockade running really

What were you selling - Neo-Gucci handbags from rare leathers?

Is there any way to determine what goods they'll buy without a cargo scanner? Tried one while carrying prog. cells (suggested in another thread), but nothing. They talk about a "trending" list, which sounds like something you might find in station news, but I couldn't find anything recent.

I saw the thing about trending and there is something on the bulletin boards but to be honest I only ever remember seeing items that are down trending...
