Sothis Crystalline Gold

I bought some and went to Takurua which is pretty much the only system in the sweet spot for selling a rare from Sothis and they are not buying it! I took it into the bubble and can't find anyone that wants this stuff. What's the deal? Thanks.
 
Good to see someone carting something out of Sothis that isn't brown.

The only rare goods you can't sell at every station are illegal ones, so it won't be this. It makes no difference what type of station you are selling rares, just the distance.

I'm guessing you are meaning that the price you are being offered is at a loss. This will be because you are running a 3rd party app, such as ED market connector. This is a known bug. I have heard that relogging in the station you want to sell can work.
 
I think it's what modular terminals are made of :p

Where are you getting the idea that Sothis Gold is used on FSDs?

The rare description says:
When gold is exposed to the rare gas coming from thermal vents on the sea beds of the twin Earth like planets Sothis A5 and Sothis A6, it forms into a previously unseen crystaline structure unlike other crystaline gold. Scientists and engineers are only just beginning to discover the technological applications for this rare form of gold.

The rare description says:

Think it was part of a galnet article a while back... Something to do with the research MetaDrive has been carrying out. Memory is hazy, I'll try and find the article when I get home.

Hutton mugs are made of FSD scrap, so therefore Hutton Mugs are made of Sothis Gold? :S

So I shut down Ed market connector, relog, and the price is good now. Thank you! I did a ton of searching on this forum and others and didn't come across that bug.

Since the last update there is an intermittent none-third-party-software pricing bug with Rares! After wiping my save I trudged all the way out to Sothis in my Sidewinder and made only 1000cr/ton on Sothis Crystaline Gold after taking it all the way back to George Pantazis. I do not use (have never used) 3rd party software.

Did relogging at your destination help?

Check my sig. Of course it's not Cannon, but when I proposed SCG I was hoping it might get used ion all sorts of things, and therefore missions, CGs and other content and game play generating stuff.
 
I've noticed the rares price bug too on occasion since the last update, and I never use third-party tools while I'm Rares running, since I already know how Rares work and what to do with them. I don't think it's just a third-party-tool issue, I think if you have any other software running in the background (web browser, word processor, malware-detector etc) it might be enough to cause the glitch. And let's face it, most of us PC players usually have something running in the background while we're playing Elite.

And yes, relogging usually fixes it.

It's a pity that the missions system virtually ignores rare goods. There's nothing wrong with Sothis being a hub of long distance profit, but this should be for shipping the rare gold, not the brown stuff.

I never had any trouble unloading Sothis Crystalline Gold and regularly used it to fill the corners of the cargo racks when running long-range cargo delivery missions to the bubble. Demand seems to fluctuate in approx. 150 LY waves. If not in demand where you are, fly a few dozen LY and try again.
