jtomes123 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Hi i just wanted to know what do you think about people selling their lti auroras on reddit for $170? I wonder if they end up getting something around $100 for it as best offer or if someone really pays $180. JudasM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoff Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Fair? It's a "player" driven economy. If there is a demand, the prices will keep going up. So, yes, most stuff is actually getting sold. Red-Coal, Deadhiel, Morgenroete and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fjnfnffnfn8485858 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I don't get why people jump at the lti ships, especially for such high prices. But there's a demand for them I guess, or they would not be selling for $170. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CC-Corp Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 The mark up is worse then a new car your looking at paying double what you would for it from RSI minimum, so no it's not worth buying but like stoff said it's player drivien, theres people out there who will be willing to risk that much to get something that might be worth nothing in then end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there's a demand for them I guess, or they would not be selling for $170. If you have 1 ship, LTI is a 'perk'. If you have 50+ it's kind of mandatory, (Plus your a bit looney!) Prices are fine, but with the CCU quite a few people are not playing the market smart. They are paying $150 for an Aurora MR ($100 markup) instead of $200 for an Xi'an ($50 markup) Deadhiel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wu Jen Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 LTI Idris-M for $4000....That's outrageous. I consider $2,000 for a LTI Scythe to be more so, but to each their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammer173 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 @jtomes123 your better off getting one then pay for insurance. Even though I have one with LTI I don't envision myself using it as often as my other ships. It will always be available for SCB members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightFall Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 watch how RSI releases a $5 LTI addon per ship at the start of beta. It's gonna be a good show. ::grabs popcorn:: Ragnor, Gen_Crisis and Silveryn 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nevermore Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Like with everything if no one buys it .. they will have to change it.. gamer keep buying broken games with day one dlc cut from the game ... and then cry when it never changes tho allot of this could be fixed if ppl just realized that LTI isn't that important Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamadin Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 auroras have the higher mark up because they are like young steam cells. the could become anything with cross hull. so you could buy an MR @150$+230$ retaliator upgrade and got an LTI Retaliator. many people think this is fair. anyway LTI value exceed its real game value many times. LTI is for collections, I'm not sure if every one buy an LTI understand that. Deadhiel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtomes123 Posted July 18, 2014 Author Share Posted July 18, 2014 I want LTI not because of gameplay but because it's something special a collectible because i like the game but not for more than 5x of original price, I really like 300i series so i'll try to get arbiter package between $100-125. But reddit prices are ridiculous so I'll check out forum and wait , I saw one for $120, I think so I still have a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daHawk Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 auroras have the higher murk up because they are like young steam cells. the could become anything with cross hull. How does that work ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgenroete Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 How does that work ? Cross-Chassis Upgrade will be available when ships are ready for the AC. For example, once the Gladius is ready for AC we'll have the ability to upgrade an Aurora LTI package (or any other package) into a Gladius LTI package. This will be the only way to get LTI on Gladius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talason Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 I guess it depends on what you are looking for. I got the Constellation physical package with Alpha for $250.00 so actually $25.00 less that normal price. I thought at first when I started looking that I would want the LTI, but yeah some of the prices are ridiculous for just having that on them.

Drum Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Since nothing on Reddit is furthering or supporting the game, I wish it would all go away. Pure greed. The solution, as mentioned, would be to offer some LTI upgrade package, but damn it boy, can you imagine all the hate that would produce. The large plus to this scheme would be that those who really want//need LTI, would at least be supporting Star Citizen once more - DRUM out Valenquo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(ebay have price higher than reddit ranging from +50% till 200%) anyway I agree with you when you say to give LTI to everyone as addon untill the game is released, but RSI should give a payback to backers (OB/VB/NB and goldens) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Total fallacy. 1) RSI only gain ONCE for anything, regardless of new purchase or un-melted. 2) It does "help" with the hype, but it's not exactly a "positive" hype.

Wu Jen Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 IMHO all ships bought before the launch of the PU should have been given LTI. All ships should be account bound, if you want to give your friend something then buy him a gift card. Trading and selling of accounts would be against TOS = fixed and done. You would still have a 'grey' market of people trying to sell accounts but it would be much harder on the resellers. I.e. they would have to create new accounts and only put one ship on a account at a time. Smaller sales are much easier than large sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT to achivie this you bought a ship, melted it, and bought a new one with the store credit. the two ship melted and new one, now have 2 different ID. you can reclaim the melted now EDIT you can try yourself, if you have any LTI melted on your hangar log. Everyone could. I hope this time it is more clear, but feel free to ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
