Best deals you've found on GTN after BSG return?

Question

As expected, prices in the GTN for lots of items seem to be dropping as more supply of older items enters the market with people buying the Bronze, Silver, Gold and Grand Packs of various types.

So, have you picked up anything at a good discount versus their usual prices? I've had some great snags:

  • Got a White Eviscerating Crystal for 5M credits
  • Got a volatile derelict lightsaber for 1M credits
  • Got a Revan holocron for 3M credits

Any great snags you picked up?

The one thing I'm looking for that I haven't got to drop or to show up at a discount on the GTN is Jarael's set. Anybody had luck getting that?

SO many deals, although i regret it a little bit because now i don't have the funds for the Cathar honor sword that went up for a more reasonable price, and is the item I have been craving.

Dramatic extroverts set for 1 mil

energized conqueror's saberstaff X2 50k each

Derilict saberstaff X3 20-40k each

Warmaster double bladed lightsaber X2 100k each

energized conqueror's lightsaber X2 30k each

intimidator armor set 500k

and i caved and bought packs today so I think im gonna do all right by buying up stock and selling later.

For those unfamiliar, what prices do you expect these to sell for when the market balances out again?

ummm. depends on how long I wait and if other people stocked up. Dramatic extroverts i am keeping, but is generally around 6-10 mil when i looked the last few weeks.

ECS i figure for 500k plus, honestly dont know, but its a lightsaber with an effect on it. they almost always sell well.

The derilict saberstaffs have been at 400-600k pretty consistently, although i sold on a month ago for about 1.4 mil. if these weren't so inexpensive i would have passed on them.

warmaster double bladed lightsaber should be a mil plus easy. probably goign to aim for about 2.5 each. see where it lands

ECL Thinking 800k+ goign to aim for 1.5ish to start.

intimidator set I just like this set, and havne't seen a full one in awhile so i figured i would buy it, if i sell later great, if i keep it i'm ok with it, and if a friend starts playing again he would like it as he wanted it previously.

generally i look at things i like and try to find ones that are posted low. the good thing about yesterday was there were still auctions from before the packs items were sellable. so it gave me an idea on a few of these. This is my first time buying up stock in tor, but I've done this before in wow and had success. I always aim for unique things, like lightsabers with effects if i can.

Thanks for the detailed response, I am a fairly new player so trying to get a grasp of things on the GTN.

People aren't paying attention, they're just listing stuff -- it's great. Can't wait to sell all this stuff for 5X-10X as much in a few weeks.

Havoc Squad chestpiece for 225K. I'm thinking they forgot a zero there, haha. Was pretty chuffed about that. Found the gloves for a decent price too, so the set is now complete! Woo! I've been piecing that one together for a while. Got some nice crystals too. Nothing crazy, but the prices are lower than ever.

I'm your bro, remember how we parted right after we were born because of yada yada yada? Yeah, to get down to business, I want your Havoc squad chestpiece! Send it to me! PLEEEEEEEASE! WE'RE BROS!

If you're pubside Harbinger, and I come across another one for a cheap price, sure.

Just go on the GTN get a green chestpiece and change it to gray and orange. Stamp it in a CD and your set

tyonamin•

I have no idea what ur talking about. So what chestpiece? Put gray and orange dye, stamp it on CD(what?)?

AugustusTheVictor•

I read you comment wrong, my bad. I forgot there was a Havoc Squad set. I was thinking trooper armor in general lol

The last toy I needed, the Nice Try Jawagram, for 400k when I was willing to pay 8 million

Riot-aBhorsen•

I just bought two of these at 45k each!

Oh wow, nice steal, guys. :)

Model Thranta Corvette for 200k Numerous rare mounts for 1-2 mill.

erdevsOP•

Nice!! Yeah, can't believe some of the deals. Wonder if this is due to these packs being short-lived or if prices would deflate more permanently if the packs were always available like they were originally intended to be.

1
ehkodiak•

Yep, the prices would deflate permanently - it's basically supply and demand. With the packs in place, supply becomes high so price drops. When the packs disappear, no more way to get item, price goes up.

I'm hitting myself for buying some stuff cheap that hasn't already sold, but it's probably just me being impatient (Or I'm going to be out a lot of credits!)

2
erdevsOP•

Yeah, I totally agree. If the BSG packs were always available, they'd deflate prices on the whole.

I'm in the same boat btw with sitting on stuff atm. We'll see how it goes over the next couple weeks!

Revans chest piece got under 300c which blew my mind because when I joined a few months ago it was well over the millions and they were selling. And a yellow crystal I forget the name off which was well into the millions now goes for 300 k and lower.

  • Primeval Stalker Set 2m
  • Xoxaan Set 3m
  • Darth Malgus Set 1m
  • Havoc Squad Set 2.5m
  • Outlaw's Set 700k
  • Ziost Lightsaber 3m

  • Celebration Mishap Toy 200k
    Most of these were posted in the earlier hours right after the bound timer elapsed. I made sure I watched the GTN like a hawk because there were many sets I wanted. Snagged up most sets which were below median price. I suspect most were just newer players who didn't know the true value. But that Revan Set was unforgivable. They are going for 30m normally.
    But alas, no money is to be made from these snipes, as they have been added to collections.

Haha well that is a great way to snag deals on collections! Those are some awesome steals there!!

I came back this week after a LONG time away. That was probably MY volatile derelict lightsaber you bought. I have like 20 pages of old gear, and I tossed some of it up. I have 3 or 4 more of those lightsabers, by the way.

erdevsOP•

Well, thank you. :) I can see doing the same thing if I had an overstock of them!
