one useless gift for companion. Deleted
Another lame orange armor in 5 pieces. Deleted.
A 50 purple electrostaff that could have sold for maybe 500 credits, if only it had been puttable on the GTN. Deleted
Two speeders of the same model I have, and who are of course not puttable on the GTN.
A crystal that is not puttable on the GTN, and that no one takes even at 5k. Deleted
Cream of the crop, a ''funny'' orange chest that is invisible (and yet cover more than the slave tops). Deleted.

I have not make a credit of those damn packs. I did not even got one useful item, and I subbed without stopping since launch.

Talk about a reward. You can't even make the item sellable, so people could make 100 credits with a pack ?
But, but, but.... Are you mad? "Another lame orange armor in 5 pieces" I would kill to get that from just two packs. Granted not all of that is to everyones liking. But that is a good haul from a couple of packs. I cant say i have had that sort of luck. Seriosuly though, What you can sell, try to sell. Even if it is in Trade Chat. GTN is not the most reliable because not everyone uses it, and it is dog eat dog right now as the prices are becoming more and more competetive. Believe me (I have bought a fair few packs) That stuff is good. Even if for someone else

Edit: And if you are a troll; enjoy th gourmet i just fed you *nom nom nom!*

And btw, you can claim that I'm '' a troll'', but for the damn crystal, I posted it three times on fleet for 50k (monday, server time, 9:30 to 9:40 pm), and no one took it.

Next month, I guess I will bring screenshots.

Do you know the definition of insanity? Look it up, cause your results won't change. And instead of deleting stuff like a fool, how about you do the nice thing and give them away to low level people or someone who actually cares.
That's why they call it space, cause there is so much of it.

LOL. currently there are 250 page of junk from cartel packs on the GTN on my server. There is another 50 or so with pets and other junk. The vast majority are selling for around 10k.
Tthe average cartel pack goes for 300k on my server. The one speeder you get will go for 5k. Your chances of getting a crystal is about 1 in 1000. The rest of the items are junk worth about 50k total.

Unless you hit the lottery and get a big money item, they are not worth the time or money. Currently there are about 20 big ticket items (not pages, just items) on the GTN. Do the math on that and one can figure their chances.

The stuff she is deleting goes for under 5k. There are three hundred pages of it on the gtn. The first fifty pages are around 1 to 2k items. Who is she going to sell it to? ;p

wow, seriously, one of the posts you made even solicited a BW response in which they gave you the metrics... you sir must REALLY suck at selling stuff, or people are all ignoring you.

As for posting things on the GTN, there is only a handful of things that ever had an issue of being put on the GTN. With the current packs apparently the droid customizations cannot be posted, but everything else you listed has NO issue.

Screenshot or it didn't happen.... just saying...

She paid the equivalent of 300k for those 5k items, chief.

I'm boggled here. What color is the sky in you peoples world that you would kill for an orange item? Walk up to the GTN, get your 5k ready, hit the search engine and you will be able to buy any item in any slot, maybe even two or three. Gloves, belts, bracers are as low as 1k to 2k each.

How I can suck at selling stuff ? The couple of time I tried to use the GTN, I put items at a 50% lower price than the nearest one, and it STILL not sold (metals and fabrics)

I suppose that by ''selling'' you mean ''spam the Fleet''. But alas, I must have paid for the wrong version of the game, since it's completely impossible to actually buy anything on that channel. I tried to use it ONCE, to have 90-100 augment kits parts converted into kits.

The guy took my parts. Took my credits. And logged off while laughing at me. Fun community. Fun game.

The moral of the story - there is never a sure bet when gambling. There are always losers.
All warfare is based on deception • If his forces are united, separate them • If you are far from the enemy, make him believe you are near • A leader leads by example not by force
