Today at approximately 5:50 eve time meta 4 heavy missile launchers in both Jita and Amarr were all bought up and raised from around 5 mil to 15 mil. Just letting you guys know if you have a stockpile of those things you might want to unload now cause I personally made a bil off this guy buying everything up. He's trying to sell for 15 mil in Jita and 18 mil in Amarr.

Thanks for the tip. Pity I've already sold the few I had. Glad you made a profit though.

selling at that percentage would probably make him not as rich as he though. People will get meta3 then when the market established change to meta 4

Yeah markets dropping back to equilibrium price. Already sell orders are at 9 mil and he didn't even manage to sell one of the 967 hmls he bought up. Unless he has something else planned, he just lost a lot of money and made a lot of people quite a bit of isk. Might mail him asking how he's feeling.

I think the other issue is the Drake going out of style, or that more people have Heavy Missiles 5 and there's less demand for the Arbalest Heavy Missile launcher because of that these days.

iirc the meta 3 ones have better fitting reqs which makes them an even better alternative, so... *shrug*

I should buy an Ishtar.

arbalest are not bad as system. Better cpu than t2 , many people use faction missiles for pvp . The main problem is that you have choices of emptying all the markets then seed with stupid big prices or empty 1 resell with like 10% so you will have the volume to be sold to at least gain you money back. The rest of the items will generate your income.

If you do send a mail please tell him to post here .

He most likely was not looking to resell in the hubs, but resell in null.

He's obviously in a martian timezone.

There's nothing worse than an EVE player, generally considered to be top of the food chain in the MMO world, that cannot smacktalk with wit and coherency.
