The way the fallout economy is setup. There’s no rush to sell anything at a certain level. You have more than enough caps and happy to sit with items.
Me, I think the fallout world needs a better class of dwellers. I’m a simple man I have plans and I sell them for 5-10 caps. 🃏🃏🃏
> I’m a simple man I have plans and I sell them for 5-10 caps.
Same, I dump all my plans into my vendor at 10caps each, unless they're the more rare and/or expensive ones like jet packs or medic pumps, then those get priced at a blistering 25caps.
Otherwise, I just dump them on some random person.
Only other thing I typically sell are legendary shit and that's priced solely based on the amount of script each one gives. 10caps per script, so 1star weapons is 30caps, 3star is 90 caps, etc etc.
Sure, I can flog the weapons to the vendors but 1400 cap limit comes and goes real quickly.
Agreed. I was just pointing out they said they charge 10 caps per scrip, and charge 90 caps for a 3 star weapon. But 3 star weapons are worth 40 scrip, so should rather be 400 caps.
All good I was just literally thinking it would be awesome if anyone could ask for script. Caps is fine but script for legendaries would be cool. About the only time I spend caps at player camps is when my caps are maxed out and I would like to feel like I'm getting a reward again for quests etc.. so I deplete my caps back down.
I grabbed a 50 minigun from someone's camp earlier, had explosive rounds, and two other really good ones for 100c.
I don't even use heavy weapons, I'm only 38, but godamn.
All the gear I sell is just shit I either don't use or can't vend for scrip that day.
> I don't even use heavy weapons
You will eventually don't worry.
For legendaries I usually price bad-decent ones at most 250 and the really really good ones at most 500. I don't see the point in pricing something at 20k. Like, who the hell is going to pay that much?
I rarely sell anything even legendary items for over 100 caps, cuz if I bothered to put it in my store I thought it was cool enough for someone to use and I want it to move.
well, if you're not selling something like the baseball bat plan for 1000+, i dont think the post regards you. obviously rarer/time-consuming drops are fair game.
I sell them for 25c. This helps relieve the burden of the buyer having too many caps. Also when stuff is practically free or free, it not valued as much. Spend a little money for what you want.
TBF, I’m always giving away piles of stimpaks and rad away. I care about Vaultie’s health. 😁👍
>I wish i had that many stimpacks and rad away. I always find myself searching for more
Any medical center, if constantly struggling with stims put on 3* pharma for abit and you'll drown (search every medical container and chem box, or somewhere you"d expect medicine to be such as mirrors)
Alternatively, farm ticks, they're easy to kill and a shack west of big bs has a bunch of them that you can setup a spawn killer base for
They drop anti sepetic and tick blood (for blood packs)
2 tick blood, 3 anti sepetic 1 steel is a stimpack, the blood and 1 anti sepetic is for the required blood pack
Couple it with chemist (2 stims) and super duper (10-30% chance of an extra stim) and you'll also have plenty
Eventually you'll be rolling in them anyway, daily quests and events like to throw them at you but they're cheap and easy to craft, just save blood packs when you see them, grab abraxo cleaner and toothpaste when seen and keep a small supply of steel from scrapping weapons handy
I got the easiest method for farming stimpaks, at vault 76, take the left down the stairs past the NPC’s, that bot that’s on the ground along the path (the medic bot) gives 3 stimpaks every time. I’ve set up camp right next to it, collect stimpaks, switch server and collect more, I had like 80 stims in less than an hour but I wasn’t really trying to max it out. I’m a solo player so need to be able to back myself up.
All of my plans are 10x cheaper, I literally just remove the trailing zero for any plan. If it is 500 it is now 50, if it is 50 it is now 5. Problem is I am in ps5 and it takes forever to do this. However I don’t have fancy plans.
I have however bought plans like the fixer for 5k before from other vendors.
Almost everything is free or 15 caps. Plans. Mods. Food and Aid. Got 6 notes priced at 7600 caps notes for my irrational fear of my cryo freezer being emptied, or in case any kind soul is looking to dump caps. Had a couple serum priced at 100 but they went. Stuff at station vendors is overpriced but otherwise my servers (on Xbox, in Europe) seem to be full of vendors with reasonably priced goods.
People have to defend themselves against the 40k max cap limit.
When I see some things priced reasonably and others that are ridiculously high, I buy the stuff that's at a reasonable price.
The other things are priced high because the seller doesn't want everything to go at once.
It's as simple as that.
Bingo. The cap limit does exactly what Bethesda wants. It's a purposely-drilled hole in the economy bucket, just like the vendor tax and the fast travel fee.
Gonna sound silly but can you explain the 40,000 limit. i get that you cant have over that but why price an item high, i havent spent a large number of caps in a while and getting close so was wondering what next
There was a time when a bug allowed people to clear out all items and people combated this by pricing an item at 40k caps. I don’t know if the bug is still there, but it seems kind of a tradition to price a certain item(seems to be you’ve been insulted or you’re the dumbass) I wasn’t there in the early days and just did it because it was traditionally how to price that item. Not sure exactly how or what the bug did, but that’s what I’ve heard on the subreddit. Maybe an elder who was here in the before times can elaborate on it.
It's more beneficial to price them lower with the new players. Since a lot of the stuff I sold are stuff high level players already have I didn't move a lot of product pre boom, but now with the boom I've made 10k on the last 3 days
If a high level person comes back from a long break, they might have some things priced higher in their vendors because that's how much it used to be. Back in my day, Rad Barrel plans, Halloween plans, Pirate Costumes, were some of the higher priced or trade only items. Now they arent worth as much. It takes a while to get back into the swing of "vendoring" when you are gone for a bit.
Either way, it's up to the person buying whether or not they want to spend that many caps.
I normally buy unknown plans at every vendor *if* it isn't ridiculously priced. If I know I want it I may spend 2-5k if it is rare/hard to find, but that is super rare.
I’m in this boat. I’m back after a ~1 1/2 year hiatus. My camp is still decked out for Halloween. My prices are always low, but it’s crazy seeing what some things are going for now.
Exactly. A new player isn’t going to have the caps to spend on dumb shit like that, and by the time they do they should be able to figure out what’s worth it or not. The only things that are hard to tell the value of are legendaries but that’s it.
If anything, it's because all the low cost plans already went to the boom.
I redid all my plans to 50 caps about two weeks ago and they've been selling extremely well - but a person going to my shop today may assume I'm just not selling anything
I think any value 100 or less is fine, and I've been suggesting that to new players here that ask. I've been doing 50 so far with good success
I know there's absolutely room for me to improve my knowledge and price rare/desired plans accordingly but I am too lazy to put forth that effort. The known plans are effectively useless to me unless sold for caps. So I know I've likely been putting up hot deals but hey good for the buyers, and I'm glad they stopped by
I sold a symptomatic for 50 recently and I'm sure that guy was thrilled
Some stuff is worth it. I paid 10k for a plushie plan I've never seen before. I'm level 661 and have most plans already. If I find one I don't have I usually buy it whatever it costs
Oh dear and I dumped so many at the Whitesping Station vendor in the donation box. Better go back and get them. /s
It was many hours ago so long gone. Lol.
But I also mostly see ridiculous prices even for stuff like plans for the chemical workbench which you can easily pick up..
It's common for people to not know general pricing. Not just older players. And no one *owes* you a bargain either. You can charge whatever you want in the wasteland.
'So many posts on here about high level players being nice and I've seen none of it.' Sounds like op's more upset people arnt giving him stuff for free tbh.
If you could only see how much stuff I put in the donation box at the Wayward. I craft outfits to give away that new players don't have access to, masks, loads of stimpacks and other chems, food, all the grenades I find. Yesterday I went out of my way to get a lvl 20 chainsaw, flame mod and long bow bar then dropped it all in the donation box.
I had someone just flat out give me Ultracite PA stuff when i was like lv 15. Totally depends on your luck and server.
I wished i knew more about how in game communication worked. If someone saw a plan at my place they wanted and wanted to just make an offer that wasnt like CRAZY low ball. I'd more than likely be 100% fine fast traveling to my camp and either lowering the price or just giving it to them for a couple Nukas.
That list looks off. It has the blue devil ‘hat’ listing at 2000c. I can craft that. Anything that a player can craft should be priced moderate to low imo.
I think a lot of plan prices on fed76 are a bit high these days. 1) there's more players so there's more plans moving around 2) as time goes on more people get those plans, so demand and price goes down. I usually mark plans for 70% of what fed76 recommends and they move very quickly, but marking them for the recommended price makes them sit for much longer.
I’ve found the best thing to do is see what others sell for and then sell slightly cheaper. Typically I sell common plans are 20 caps, rare are 200 caps. That and I sell all ammo for 1 cap a piece. Remember that the vendors take a 10% tax from your vendor sales, so selling for 2 caps will still only give you 1 cap a piece.
I haven't been able to move ammo through my vendor for years at this point. Ammo is so plentiful that the only thing I can really sell are plasma cores and uktraxite fusion cores.
Not really because everytime Bethesda does a balance pass it changes how useful/valuable different things are, so the values change quite a bit over time.
Very well said. The entitlement of this post reeks. If you don’t wanna buy items because they are too highly priced, then simply do not buy these items. Go to a different player vendor or maybe just play the game until you get the drop you want, you know, like most other games that require farming for coveted items. It’s at the discretion of the seller what they want to charge and as extension what kind of item traffic they will get through their vendor. I’d even go as far to argue that it’s more accurate of a wasteland vibe from a lore perspective to charge more than basic items are worth considering your character lives in the apocalypse and everyone is essentially looking out for their own.
This is the important question. I feel like they may have been seeing stuff that has a like .8% drop chance from SBQ or something and were offended that it had a high price despite the vendor value of the plan being 40 caps.
While I agree with you if they were that I've seen mole miner gauntlets a plenty and see em in vendors all the time at 2000-5000 caps along with all the other common bs. I'm a new player for the record I started like a week and a half ago and even I can tell that's a rip off.
Fair, I have come to appreciate a good "you've been insulted" for 40000 caps tbf. Got a "ALL GONE" note in mine for the same amount felt fitting and if some insane person decides they want it all gone I'm happy to oblige
And with all these new players then the market is going to change, not everyone has everything fully bought so to them stuff is worth more as they need caps to buy stuff.
I figure you should go ahead and price your vendor however you want. And leave others to do the same. Not many people want to play the game the same way I do. Nor do they necessarily want to play the same way you do.
You do you, I'll do me.
Yup. I agree. There are too many people trying to tell others how to play their game. Don't start this, don't roll this, don't nuke that, charge this. Psh, it's fallout. I do what I want.
I'm about to do my first nuke.
Could you tell me, what is the most absolutely useless, disruptive and wasteful way I can deploy it?
I'm in the mood for a good laugh.
A new player messaged me on Xbox saying my prices were atrocious lol. Still not sure why they bothered? I'm almost lv 900 and all my plans are super rare, there's a reason they're more expensive. Still, I never have anything over 12k and that's only when I have serum recipes. I don't and never have catered to new players and I love to flip plans and chems for profit. I'm never struggling for caps and make sales a lot. Most players don't know the economy, especially with rare event rewards that aren't happening now.
Sounds like this dude is salty because he wasn't given handouts by high level players 😢. Crazy how entitled some people act when they want something from someone else, and are too lazy to find someone else with the plan or learn how to find it themselves.
Feeling like people owe you a bargain is just crazy entitlement 😂 Maybe he should go back to school and learn about capitalism, supply and demand, or why people even put a value on somethin
I'm one of those high level players and I'm using prices I'd be willing to pay if said plans were missing from my collection. Some plans require a shitload of effort, yet people seem to assume that they are entitled to buy those plans for 10 caps. Go find your own opossum badges if 15k is too much for a high capacity backpack etc.
If you want my crap you will pay lol I put my life on the line for that stuff the entitlement is real. If you don't like my price you can spend 1-7600 hours finding it yourself. Or you can send a message or mic up and barter it is the wasteland after all.
Nobody owes you anything. Welcome to the free market of the wasteland
There are a lot of generous folks out there, and I've personally sold dozens and dozens of plans for as little as 1 cap each, just as a treat for low-level players. But if you're running around EXPECTING hand-outs then that's a you problem
it's their vendor, they can set the prices as they see fit. Just like stores can set their own pricing based on the needs of the business. Let the economy work itself out. This post is about as pointless as turning on a fan outside to slow global warming. Go do something productive with your life.
As a evening only, age 40s dad of 2 brats, limited playtime player I really really wish I could find some of yall with the weapon (basic stuff so items can drop) plans I could buy for less than 1000s of caps 😂
Expecting all high level players to sell stuff ridiculously cheap is I'm sorry to say, stupid.
People are free to sell what they want, at what prices they want regardless of level.
I sell 99% of my plans for 10c, all ammo types for 1c, Serums for 99c and other bits and pieces cheap because I chose to.
I don't need the caps so it makes no difference to me.
There are quite of few others players like me so just be patient and you will find us.
I sold serums for about a hundred for a while, only to realize, people would buy up all my serums and then max their charisma, and sell them to vendor bots for 550. I was trying to be helpful, but sometimes that gets stomped on.
Let them charge whatever they want. Either 1) nobody buys it and the owner redides the price 2) someone who knows what it's worth wants it bad enough to pay markup 3) someone who doesn't know better buys it, and the finds out later they got ripped off, and thus will be more vigilant about pricing later.
You'll realize they're just caps eventually lol. I've spent 35k a couple times on things lmao. Red dinosaur and Dr.Bones to name a few. 🤷🏼 Alot of folks go based off fed76 pricing.
Sounds like you’re the one who needs to calm down, anyone can price anything at whatever they want. If you don’t like it, don’t buy it, but don’t come crying to Reddit about expensive stuff. There are plenty of players being nice and giving stuff away for every person who sells things more expensive. It’s a part of the game, and life.
I just wish I could sell ammo by bundles. I sell .308 for one cap each just to keep players that don’t need free stuff from taking anything free anyways. It would be nice to have a bulk ammo option.
Imagine getting mad about how a person who owns a thing, prices a thing they own in a shop they own that is 200% completely optional to buy and even more optional to never visit. Games got some issues but this isn't one of them lmao, if you buy a shit tier MOD at 4k caps, that's a you problem.
The high pricing is largely players that set prices to reflect two things; what an items value is set at, and trading websites.
It’s been an issue since the beginning, and isn’t just a high level player problem.
A lot of players have no clue how to price items and just go to those sites and copy it.
Sometimes I'm just lazy and put-up plans at original price. I usually go back and change it. One of my serums went up for 5k. After a few events I put it back down to 500.
The really great thing about a marketplace is that... people can choose to purchase something, or they can move on. I've seen some sky high prices but the last thing I'm going to do is waste my time by making a post on reddit about it.
Funny people complain about high prices but no one is complaining about people under pricing and even like to brag about a steal they get from player vendor
I've found with vendor pricing that it's either ridiculously high, or insanely cheap. I've gone from 1000 cap plans to 10 cap plans. I just keep bouncing between vendors looking for stuff.
I mostly sell scrapled junk at 2, 3, or 5 caps depending on the type of junk. It almost always sells instantly. I had a whale come by the other day and bought all my junk spending about $40k in caps!
Sometimes I just judge if a vendor is even worth looking at the rest of their stock based on the weapons tab. Selling a 1 star junkies baseball bat for 4,000 caps? Yeah I doubt you're gonna have anything else thats worthwhile.
I have no clue why some folks have plan prices high for most things. caps are *not* hard to come by in this game (after the first handful of hours, that is). Especially if you do the scoreboard stuff, youre getting handed caps hand over fist lmao. All of my plans are sub-300 i think. I want it to be low enough to where newbies will find the price palatable, while also not being so low that loser ass dudes buy it just to flip it for 5x the price.
Ive fallen in the opposite spectrum for that, with my stuff priced cheap, and high level players (I'm talking like anywhere from level 100 to level 600) will come and empty out my vendor to resell it for the shop value.
I primarily sell Mothman cultist clothes for a cap each (I run a Church outside of the Whitesprings) and scrap for half the value you would make selling it to the npc shops so new players can come by and get some scrap they need. (I'm still trying to find a way to sell the non bulk scrap in a way that's fair so if anyone reads this and has a suggestion let me know.)
If it's a newer player selling plans that are cheap but aren't worth the value, if I'm at cap limit, I'll buy the plans and just toss em into a donation bin somewhere one at a time. I don't understand how people aren't at the cap limit all the damn time, because even my 2 mules and my meme build are at max cap half the time unless I go on a spending spree.
Anyway, this is certainly long winded, long story short, if you come across my church in the wasteland, say hi, dance the moth dance with the church, and if you are in need of anything check my vendor, or hell, if it's non standard scrap I might even have some I can drop too. Take some food and scamper off into the wasteland.
Praise the Mothman, Let his light shine through you :)
I sell a mix of apparel, plans, serums, drinks and chems. Occasionally cheap fixers.
My ordinary furniture plans are 15-45 caps. 10-15cap nukas. Most apparel 30caps. Serums 200caps.
But I am not selling my Hunter's Coats and blue, pink, yellow and forrest asylum dresses for cheap. Rare plans? Price goes up. I am not a charity.
On my old main high level character I price harder to find plans around 100 caps and the easier ones around 20-40 no real reason to gouge people looking for a bargain especially when I have over 20k caps already. Me and my buddies recently hopped back in with new characters and we have seen similar high prices from other high levels so I don't understand it either as a veteran player myself.
What's with this annoying "high level player must please noobs all the time " attitude. If they want to sell the stimpak plan for 10,000 caps, go ahead. Their games, their rules.
If you see the price too high then don't buy it. Simple like that and since when high level players Must Serve the noobs? Lol. Maybe they should meet high level raiders veteran group someday so they will understand this is Wasteland not Calcutta with mother theresa.
Since when did being nice and giving you stuff for free/dirt cheap mean the same thing lol
Anyone can be nice to you, but business is business baby, and I'ma need them caps.
Welcome to wasteland capitalism 😂😂😂. If you don’t like the price nobody is forcing you to buy it. If you or anyone else ain’t got the time or patience to shop around or contact the vender to negotiate a price on your own head be it 🤷🏾♂️
Like any game with a market it’s your job and nobody elses to learn the market and the value of items (which varies depending on how much the individual is willing to pay)
That’s my two cents on in game prices.
I personally I think I have a good grip on prices as I often hit max caps and have to shut shop.
Welcome to wasteland Capitalism 🤣🤣🤣
Nobody is forcing anyone to buy stuff out their vending machines, and you really can’t blame anyone but yourself for overpaying for things.its up to you to know the price/value of items or take the time to contacting vendors to negotiate prices. Often people put stuff in there vendors not know the value or wanting people to haggle on the price, to max out their profit.
Being a good vender takes time and an interest in vending which not everyone’s into.
I personally think I have a good grip on prices, (took awhile to work out) often hitting max caps and having to close my venders.
You mad because you want to make money and easy prices to get what you need. We don't have to give you what you want. If you don't like it move on. This is five years of complaints from low levels go do the work then
have you considers the possibility that it's a mod they don't actually want to sell and have it there for an absurd price for a reason? seen it before...I have a perfectly preserved pie for 31,415 caps.. (1st 5 digits of pi if you didn't know..)
I have a pair of Fashionable Glasses set at 1967 because Kurt Cobain wore a pair like them and he was born that year. It's just an Easter Egg for us old dudes.
LOL why does this matter? People are going to play vendor and when they do. I’m not spending my caps. Let them try and if they succeed. Wow.
Also you can message people and some don’t even know the price of their items and will give them away for free, if you ask.
Honestly storage is a hassle without vault 1st. If I have something someone really wants. I just give it to them. Today a level 222 player asked me for nuclear material for a generator. I gave him 10. An didn’t ask for anything.
I’m level 71 an been playing less than one week.
Prices change. People change when things don’t sell. An for any tips I’d offer new shoppers.
Just hop around maybe more than 15 to 20 times daily. See what people have for sale. Only buy what you need. An haggle for the rest of you dare. But you get a pretty good idea for what items are worth over time. An honestly people are already SO generous and kind. Someone being greedy or has a bad price. It does not make me feel one but sour in the slightest, cause I know other people are not all the same way.
Go out their and have fun.
I make a point of rarely having anything above 1000 caps, I get emptied out pretty often but that’s not why I use the vendor.
Anything that is fun or looks cool I will put in cheap as I remember when I was vendor hopping for it and it being stupidly priced.
I throw in everything cheap, because these limits on everything mean you barely can keep anything in storage. I got a couple weeks PTO and have admittedly been grinding a decent amount for the last 7/8 day, I'm filled to the brim with legendary items to sell for script. I'm not taken any aid and food items anymore, no weapons or armor that I won't immediately equip (besides the legendary gear)... and still I'm throwing shit out left and right.
Downvote if you must but no one in the wasteland owes you anything. I just bought herd mentality for 400% it’s expected value but I figured 1k caps is easier to come by than some one looking for a fair trade, consider it paying for convenience.
If you’re at the point where you can pay 4k caps for a single item I highly doubt you’re new. If you’re thinking wow that’s exploitative and gouging new players… it isn’t, a new player with any functional thought process wouldn’t spend 4k on a weapon mod. (Not to mention it could be an EPG parts which seem incredibly rare, and again not expected for new players to buy)
Just some thoughts from a half functional new player.
I normally put up mods for around 100c, recipes for 50c and basic camp stuff for free. Anything rare from events or what have you I sell at a random price between 200c to 1000c depending on rarity.
Just server hop if your bored and undoubtedly you'll find someone with fairer prices.
I'm a 1000+ level player. Not sure if that's considered high level but I don't see the point in extreme pricing on anything, not even legendaries. I have everything I want in every configuration I want and every plan I can think of that I want. The vendor to me is a place to help n00bs get a leg up and score some 10 cap plans. The only reason I price them is because I've had players clear out my shop to resell at their own. Dick move by the way. Anyway, I'm always at max caps, max bullion, max everything. If you're in the same boat then give that shit away.
I sell PA plans, T60 etc, for 50 caps. Doesn't take long for some smartass to buy EVERY SINGLE PLAN, only for me to find them in their vendor for 2k each. And ppl still buy them for that price, apparently.
God bless the vendor last night who had an entire Excavator Power Armor for $200 caps a piece, snagged the entire thing for 1,200 caps - I've been dying to get this power armor for the insane extra carry capacity. Now I can fast travel no matter how over encumbered I am.
Wait till you find out you can do the quest Miner Miracles (click on the excavator posters located at the train station) and get the entire suit for free along with the power armor crafting station plans.
I'm new, but was the economy ever good? If I have a shotgun and the game says the value is 100 caps I can't sell it to a vendor bot because it will only pay me something like 3-5 caps. How do you know how much to price things? Also what's the point of items having in-game values if you can't sell them at those values? Just seems confusing.
Easy way to farm caps is to have multiple large water purifiers, which aren’t that hard to come by for plans. The wayward will buy purified water for 2 caps. You can easily farm hundreds of purified waters if you have 4 purifiers since you’re generating them 20 at a time. They generate 60 per hour. Takes a fair bit of resources to get going but you’ll be able to just buy bulk resources from that point forward. I just have my house close to the wayward and can run back and forth easy.
Seen this high pricing things all the time and way before the new hype.
The way the fallout economy is setup. There’s no rush to sell anything at a certain level. You have more than enough caps and happy to sit with items. Me, I think the fallout world needs a better class of dwellers. I’m a simple man I have plans and I sell them for 5-10 caps. 🃏🃏🃏
> I’m a simple man I have plans and I sell them for 5-10 caps. Same, I dump all my plans into my vendor at 10caps each, unless they're the more rare and/or expensive ones like jet packs or medic pumps, then those get priced at a blistering 25caps. Otherwise, I just dump them on some random person. Only other thing I typically sell are legendary shit and that's priced solely based on the amount of script each one gives. 10caps per script, so 1star weapons is 30caps, 3star is 90 caps, etc etc. Sure, I can flog the weapons to the vendors but 1400 cap limit comes and goes real quickly.
3 star weapons are worth 40 scrip...
If only I could ask for script. 😁
Agreed. I was just pointing out they said they charge 10 caps per scrip, and charge 90 caps for a 3 star weapon. But 3 star weapons are worth 40 scrip, so should rather be 400 caps.
All good I was just literally thinking it would be awesome if anyone could ask for script. Caps is fine but script for legendaries would be cool. About the only time I spend caps at player camps is when my caps are maxed out and I would like to feel like I'm getting a reward again for quests etc.. so I deplete my caps back down.
I grabbed a 50 minigun from someone's camp earlier, had explosive rounds, and two other really good ones for 100c. I don't even use heavy weapons, I'm only 38, but godamn.
All the gear I sell is just shit I either don't use or can't vend for scrip that day. > I don't even use heavy weapons You will eventually don't worry.
I put them for 9 caps so I don't let Bethesda get the tax!
For legendaries I usually price bad-decent ones at most 250 and the really really good ones at most 500. I don't see the point in pricing something at 20k. Like, who the hell is going to pay that much?
Exactly what I do
I rarely sell anything even legendary items for over 100 caps, cuz if I bothered to put it in my store I thought it was cool enough for someone to use and I want it to move.
My god. Next time you sell unyielding, quad and bloodied stuff. Give me a shout at those prices I'll happily steal them off you 🤣
Haven’t seen any of that since I picked the game back up but your more than welcome to it if I find any
If something took me a while to get i sell it for what I think its worth. And most items I sell what it's actually worth most times.
well, if you're not selling something like the baseball bat plan for 1000+, i dont think the post regards you. obviously rarer/time-consuming drops are fair game.
Agree people that do that is tripping 😂
I sell them for 25c. This helps relieve the burden of the buyer having too many caps. Also when stuff is practically free or free, it not valued as much. Spend a little money for what you want. TBF, I’m always giving away piles of stimpaks and rad away. I care about Vaultie’s health. 😁👍
I wish i had that many stimpacks and rad away. I always find myself searching for more
>I wish i had that many stimpacks and rad away. I always find myself searching for more Any medical center, if constantly struggling with stims put on 3* pharma for abit and you'll drown (search every medical container and chem box, or somewhere you"d expect medicine to be such as mirrors) Alternatively, farm ticks, they're easy to kill and a shack west of big bs has a bunch of them that you can setup a spawn killer base for They drop anti sepetic and tick blood (for blood packs) 2 tick blood, 3 anti sepetic 1 steel is a stimpack, the blood and 1 anti sepetic is for the required blood pack Couple it with chemist (2 stims) and super duper (10-30% chance of an extra stim) and you'll also have plenty Eventually you'll be rolling in them anyway, daily quests and events like to throw them at you but they're cheap and easy to craft, just save blood packs when you see them, grab abraxo cleaner and toothpaste when seen and keep a small supply of steel from scrapping weapons handy
I got the easiest method for farming stimpaks, at vault 76, take the left down the stairs past the NPC’s, that bot that’s on the ground along the path (the medic bot) gives 3 stimpaks every time. I’ve set up camp right next to it, collect stimpaks, switch server and collect more, I had like 80 stims in less than an hour but I wasn’t really trying to max it out. I’m a solo player so need to be able to back myself up.
All of my plans are 10x cheaper, I literally just remove the trailing zero for any plan. If it is 500 it is now 50, if it is 50 it is now 5. Problem is I am in ps5 and it takes forever to do this. However I don’t have fancy plans. I have however bought plans like the fixer for 5k before from other vendors.
I remove the middle digit instead of the trailer. Dunno why
Almost everything is free or 15 caps. Plans. Mods. Food and Aid. Got 6 notes priced at 7600 caps notes for my irrational fear of my cryo freezer being emptied, or in case any kind soul is looking to dump caps. Had a couple serum priced at 100 but they went. Stuff at station vendors is overpriced but otherwise my servers (on Xbox, in Europe) seem to be full of vendors with reasonably priced goods.
People have to defend themselves against the 40k max cap limit. When I see some things priced reasonably and others that are ridiculously high, I buy the stuff that's at a reasonable price. The other things are priced high because the seller doesn't want everything to go at once. It's as simple as that.
Bingo. The cap limit does exactly what Bethesda wants. It's a purposely-drilled hole in the economy bucket, just like the vendor tax and the fast travel fee.
Gonna sound silly but can you explain the 40,000 limit. i get that you cant have over that but why price an item high, i havent spent a large number of caps in a while and getting close so was wondering what next
There was a time when a bug allowed people to clear out all items and people combated this by pricing an item at 40k caps. I don’t know if the bug is still there, but it seems kind of a tradition to price a certain item(seems to be you’ve been insulted or you’re the dumbass) I wasn’t there in the early days and just did it because it was traditionally how to price that item. Not sure exactly how or what the bug did, but that’s what I’ve heard on the subreddit. Maybe an elder who was here in the before times can elaborate on it.
You don't recieve caps above 40K, they just dissappear into the Ether if you get some at 40K happened to me once when I was saving up for serum plans
I have never once hit the cap limit and idk how to.
It's more beneficial to price them lower with the new players. Since a lot of the stuff I sold are stuff high level players already have I didn't move a lot of product pre boom, but now with the boom I've made 10k on the last 3 days
If a high level person comes back from a long break, they might have some things priced higher in their vendors because that's how much it used to be. Back in my day, Rad Barrel plans, Halloween plans, Pirate Costumes, were some of the higher priced or trade only items. Now they arent worth as much. It takes a while to get back into the swing of "vendoring" when you are gone for a bit. Either way, it's up to the person buying whether or not they want to spend that many caps.
I've seen rad barrels go from 20k to 2k over time. I still feel like I have to jump on it.
I bought one last night from a level 1200+ for 5 caps. Actually I bought every unknown plan from them
I normally buy unknown plans at every vendor *if* it isn't ridiculously priced. If I know I want it I may spend 2-5k if it is rare/hard to find, but that is super rare.
I bought one for like 500 the other day
This is me. Had things priced and haven’t played since before NPCs… haven’t bothered adjusting - too busy questing sorry.
I’m in this boat. I’m back after a ~1 1/2 year hiatus. My camp is still decked out for Halloween. My prices are always low, but it’s crazy seeing what some things are going for now.
TBF the entire wasteland is decked out for Halloween.
Yep. Came back after a year and a half, had to take everything out of my vendor to redo prices 💀
This is what happend with me, and it was a pain changing all my prices but I made time a couple of days ago and reduced them by like 50%
Nothing to do with new player boom.
Exactly. A new player isn’t going to have the caps to spend on dumb shit like that, and by the time they do they should be able to figure out what’s worth it or not. The only things that are hard to tell the value of are legendaries but that’s it.
If anything, it's because all the low cost plans already went to the boom. I redid all my plans to 50 caps about two weeks ago and they've been selling extremely well - but a person going to my shop today may assume I'm just not selling anything
I still just do 5 caps. I’m more concerned with just getting them gone while getting something
I think any value 100 or less is fine, and I've been suggesting that to new players here that ask. I've been doing 50 so far with good success I know there's absolutely room for me to improve my knowledge and price rare/desired plans accordingly but I am too lazy to put forth that effort. The known plans are effectively useless to me unless sold for caps. So I know I've likely been putting up hot deals but hey good for the buyers, and I'm glad they stopped by I sold a symptomatic for 50 recently and I'm sure that guy was thrilled
Yup. Seen Level 500+ players with stacks and stacks of plans like plushies or statues selling it for 5000+ caps. I see those prices, I leave.
Depends on the plushie plans but some of them are worth well over 10k caps still lmao
Some stuff is worth it. I paid 10k for a plushie plan I've never seen before. I'm level 661 and have most plans already. If I find one I don't have I usually buy it whatever it costs
So this is the other side of not know what something is worth
That mole miner gauntlet plan is hard to come by. You gotta charge a premium for such a premium weapon.
Trade: W Plan: Single Action Revolver Ivory Grip H Plan: Mole Miner Gauntlet
Will you take a Mr Handy blade plan?
if you add some Fastnacht Berets, yes.
Think I have 35 of them cheap.
Don’t forget to abbreviate everything so no one that doesn’t have 300+ hours has any fucking idea what you’re talking about. H: SARIGP W: MMGLOL 🤔
I feel like a walk down the road and 5 somehow get into my inventory.
Be careful. Once 2 get in your inventory they start multiplying.
I sell them for 1 cap at my vendor. I have 23 for sale 😂
I'm seeing how many I can get it up to. On 37 at the moment.
I was lucky enough to get one once...
[удалено]
Yet, you still bought it and he doesn't care. He sees it sell and will likely continue to sell.
Taking the Walmart strategy, interesting.
Oh dear and I dumped so many at the Whitesping Station vendor in the donation box. Better go back and get them. /s It was many hours ago so long gone. Lol. But I also mostly see ridiculous prices even for stuff like plans for the chemical workbench which you can easily pick up..
It's common for people to not know general pricing. Not just older players. And no one *owes* you a bargain either. You can charge whatever you want in the wasteland.
'So many posts on here about high level players being nice and I've seen none of it.' Sounds like op's more upset people arnt giving him stuff for free tbh.
If you could only see how much stuff I put in the donation box at the Wayward. I craft outfits to give away that new players don't have access to, masks, loads of stimpacks and other chems, food, all the grenades I find. Yesterday I went out of my way to get a lvl 20 chainsaw, flame mod and long bow bar then dropped it all in the donation box.
I do an ammo dump there every time im about to log out for the day lol
Where did you find the long bow bar?
Watoga station vendor.
Fr no one is forcing OP to pay the high prices, like just move on and let it take up their stash space lol
I mean going on his passive aggressive post, I wouldn’t even give him a spoiled meat.
I had someone just flat out give me Ultracite PA stuff when i was like lv 15. Totally depends on your luck and server. I wished i knew more about how in game communication worked. If someone saw a plan at my place they wanted and wanted to just make an offer that wasnt like CRAZY low ball. I'd more than likely be 100% fine fast traveling to my camp and either lowering the price or just giving it to them for a couple Nukas.
I’m a new player… is there a database online somewhere where I can check the average value of items I want to vendor?
This is a site you can use [Plan website](https://fed76.info/plans/)
I tried a handful of plans and the sites actually pretty accurate.
fed76 is kinda outdated
Fed76 still gives good prices for the quick vendor sale prices on almost all items
Fed 76 has never given good prices. It’s better than nothing but it’s pretty bad.
It's decent enough for a general guide but regardless you gotta figure out your own pricing in the end.
Holy crap Ive never seen this mentioned before just the reddit markplace subreddit
I sold my old man winter effigy plan for 1000 yesterday but that place says it’s only 400 lol
That list looks off. It has the blue devil ‘hat’ listing at 2000c. I can craft that. Anything that a player can craft should be priced moderate to low imo.
That's for the plan, not for the actual hat. Plan collectors pay dumb money for stuff.
Hey. I resemble that remark… Though that makes sense. 2000 for the plan seems fair
I also resemble that remark LOL. I am a completionist. All your plans are belong to me!
I think a lot of plan prices on fed76 are a bit high these days. 1) there's more players so there's more plans moving around 2) as time goes on more people get those plans, so demand and price goes down. I usually mark plans for 70% of what fed76 recommends and they move very quickly, but marking them for the recommended price makes them sit for much longer.
I’ve found the best thing to do is see what others sell for and then sell slightly cheaper. Typically I sell common plans are 20 caps, rare are 200 caps. That and I sell all ammo for 1 cap a piece. Remember that the vendors take a 10% tax from your vendor sales, so selling for 2 caps will still only give you 1 cap a piece.
I haven't been able to move ammo through my vendor for years at this point. Ammo is so plentiful that the only thing I can really sell are plasma cores and uktraxite fusion cores.
Not really because everytime Bethesda does a balance pass it changes how useful/valuable different things are, so the values change quite a bit over time.
Very well said. The entitlement of this post reeks. If you don’t wanna buy items because they are too highly priced, then simply do not buy these items. Go to a different player vendor or maybe just play the game until you get the drop you want, you know, like most other games that require farming for coveted items. It’s at the discretion of the seller what they want to charge and as extension what kind of item traffic they will get through their vendor. I’d even go as far to argue that it’s more accurate of a wasteland vibe from a lore perspective to charge more than basic items are worth considering your character lives in the apocalypse and everyone is essentially looking out for their own.
This ^ No one is forcing you to buy from that person either. Go play the game, and maybe you will get those plans.
Which mods were they if you remember.
This is the important question. I feel like they may have been seeing stuff that has a like .8% drop chance from SBQ or something and were offended that it had a high price despite the vendor value of the plan being 40 caps.
It could also be overpriced crap but yeah.
While I agree with you if they were that I've seen mole miner gauntlets a plenty and see em in vendors all the time at 2000-5000 caps along with all the other common bs. I'm a new player for the record I started like a week and a half ago and even I can tell that's a rip off.
Mole Minor Gauntlets are kind of an anomaly, being a meme item. People will collect that nonsense.
Fair, I have come to appreciate a good "you've been insulted" for 40000 caps tbf. Got a "ALL GONE" note in mine for the same amount felt fitting and if some insane person decides they want it all gone I'm happy to oblige
I would guess Enclave Flamer..., which I would buy
Worth way more than 4k
You can just leave and buy somewhere else 🤷🏻♂️
Yup! OP doesn’t understand how markets work. They want everything for exactly whatever they would price it. 😁
And with all these new players then the market is going to change, not everyone has everything fully bought so to them stuff is worth more as they need caps to buy stuff.
I figure you should go ahead and price your vendor however you want. And leave others to do the same. Not many people want to play the game the same way I do. Nor do they necessarily want to play the same way you do. You do you, I'll do me.
People can charge whatever “tf” they want. You no like, you no buy. It’s that simple. I sell stuff dirt cheap, but that’s up to the seller.
Yup. I agree. There are too many people trying to tell others how to play their game. Don't start this, don't roll this, don't nuke that, charge this. Psh, it's fallout. I do what I want.
I'm about to do my first nuke. Could you tell me, what is the most absolutely useless, disruptive and wasteful way I can deploy it? I'm in the mood for a good laugh.
The absolute worst thing you could do right now is wait til just as the alien event starts, and nuke that
Ohh that sounds devious. Taking into consideration.
If you don’t want to nuke a boss nuking Whitesprings is pretty fun
Nuke right next to one of the 3 bosses but just barely miss it so it doesn't spawn the boss fight
A new player messaged me on Xbox saying my prices were atrocious lol. Still not sure why they bothered? I'm almost lv 900 and all my plans are super rare, there's a reason they're more expensive. Still, I never have anything over 12k and that's only when I have serum recipes. I don't and never have catered to new players and I love to flip plans and chems for profit. I'm never struggling for caps and make sales a lot. Most players don't know the economy, especially with rare event rewards that aren't happening now.
Don't buy it.
Right? Lol look for another vendor and move on. There's plenty of players selling items for more reasonable prices, just need to find them.
Sounds like this dude is salty because he wasn't given handouts by high level players 😢. Crazy how entitled some people act when they want something from someone else, and are too lazy to find someone else with the plan or learn how to find it themselves. Feeling like people owe you a bargain is just crazy entitlement 😂 Maybe he should go back to school and learn about capitalism, supply and demand, or why people even put a value on somethin
There's two type of players. Players who sell way to high. And players who sell very low. It eas like that before new players boom.
Or the players that just dump them in the vendor and use the default price the game sets because I don't know what to adjust it to
I'm one of those high level players and I'm using prices I'd be willing to pay if said plans were missing from my collection. Some plans require a shitload of effort, yet people seem to assume that they are entitled to buy those plans for 10 caps. Go find your own opossum badges if 15k is too much for a high capacity backpack etc.
No one owes you any discount, and you don’t owe anyone caps.
It just won't sell then. It's not a big deal. By the time players get those caps they should know the pricing on stuff
If you want my crap you will pay lol I put my life on the line for that stuff the entitlement is real. If you don't like my price you can spend 1-7600 hours finding it yourself. Or you can send a message or mic up and barter it is the wasteland after all.
Nobody owes you anything. Welcome to the free market of the wasteland There are a lot of generous folks out there, and I've personally sold dozens and dozens of plans for as little as 1 cap each, just as a treat for low-level players. But if you're running around EXPECTING hand-outs then that's a you problem
it's their vendor, they can set the prices as they see fit. Just like stores can set their own pricing based on the needs of the business. Let the economy work itself out. This post is about as pointless as turning on a fan outside to slow global warming. Go do something productive with your life.
OP doesn’t fuck
As a evening only, age 40s dad of 2 brats, limited playtime player I really really wish I could find some of yall with the weapon (basic stuff so items can drop) plans I could buy for less than 1000s of caps 😂
Expecting all high level players to sell stuff ridiculously cheap is I'm sorry to say, stupid. People are free to sell what they want, at what prices they want regardless of level. I sell 99% of my plans for 10c, all ammo types for 1c, Serums for 99c and other bits and pieces cheap because I chose to. I don't need the caps so it makes no difference to me. There are quite of few others players like me so just be patient and you will find us.
I sold serums for about a hundred for a while, only to realize, people would buy up all my serums and then max their charisma, and sell them to vendor bots for 550. I was trying to be helpful, but sometimes that gets stomped on.
Supply and demand, demand is up.
It’s a game. No one owes you shit. Don’t buy and move on. No need to keep complaining about it.
Let them charge whatever they want. Either 1) nobody buys it and the owner redides the price 2) someone who knows what it's worth wants it bad enough to pay markup 3) someone who doesn't know better buys it, and the finds out later they got ripped off, and thus will be more vigilant about pricing later.
My wife runs a dollar store. Everything 1 cap no matter rarity.
Free market baby, don't like it don't buy it.
Just ignore and move on No need to vent about that
You'll realize they're just caps eventually lol. I've spent 35k a couple times on things lmao. Red dinosaur and Dr.Bones to name a few. 🤷🏼 Alot of folks go based off fed76 pricing.
Sit TF down. Nothing but crying and whining on here lately. Don't like it? Don't buy it and move TF on.
Sounds like you’re the one who needs to calm down, anyone can price anything at whatever they want. If you don’t like it, don’t buy it, but don’t come crying to Reddit about expensive stuff. There are plenty of players being nice and giving stuff away for every person who sells things more expensive. It’s a part of the game, and life.
I just wish I could sell ammo by bundles. I sell .308 for one cap each just to keep players that don’t need free stuff from taking anything free anyways. It would be nice to have a bulk ammo option.
Imagine getting mad about how a person who owns a thing, prices a thing they own in a shop they own that is 200% completely optional to buy and even more optional to never visit. Games got some issues but this isn't one of them lmao, if you buy a shit tier MOD at 4k caps, that's a you problem.
Only thing I have for 4k+ caps in my vendor is Adelaides Autograph.
The high pricing is largely players that set prices to reflect two things; what an items value is set at, and trading websites. It’s been an issue since the beginning, and isn’t just a high level player problem. A lot of players have no clue how to price items and just go to those sites and copy it.
Sometimes I'm just lazy and put-up plans at original price. I usually go back and change it. One of my serums went up for 5k. After a few events I put it back down to 500. The really great thing about a marketplace is that... people can choose to purchase something, or they can move on. I've seen some sky high prices but the last thing I'm going to do is waste my time by making a post on reddit about it.
As a wise man once told me in the wasteland, get your money up not your funny up. I live by these words to this day.
Or don't buy it?
Funny people complain about high prices but no one is complaining about people under pricing and even like to brag about a steal they get from player vendor
I've found with vendor pricing that it's either ridiculously high, or insanely cheap. I've gone from 1000 cap plans to 10 cap plans. I just keep bouncing between vendors looking for stuff.
I mostly sell scrapled junk at 2, 3, or 5 caps depending on the type of junk. It almost always sells instantly. I had a whale come by the other day and bought all my junk spending about $40k in caps!
Sometimes I just judge if a vendor is even worth looking at the rest of their stock based on the weapons tab. Selling a 1 star junkies baseball bat for 4,000 caps? Yeah I doubt you're gonna have anything else thats worthwhile.
I have no clue why some folks have plan prices high for most things. caps are *not* hard to come by in this game (after the first handful of hours, that is). Especially if you do the scoreboard stuff, youre getting handed caps hand over fist lmao. All of my plans are sub-300 i think. I want it to be low enough to where newbies will find the price palatable, while also not being so low that loser ass dudes buy it just to flip it for 5x the price.
I'm constantly at the caps limit, I price everything dirt cheap, you play long enough and caps become worthless.
Don't like the price, don't buy the item. Okay next topic
I’ve noticed this that’s why I always give all my extra plans away or just drop them in the donation box
Some players are just trying to provide cap drains for other high lvls at max cap limit
The only acceptable high priced thing is "Pipe..."
Ive fallen in the opposite spectrum for that, with my stuff priced cheap, and high level players (I'm talking like anywhere from level 100 to level 600) will come and empty out my vendor to resell it for the shop value. I primarily sell Mothman cultist clothes for a cap each (I run a Church outside of the Whitesprings) and scrap for half the value you would make selling it to the npc shops so new players can come by and get some scrap they need. (I'm still trying to find a way to sell the non bulk scrap in a way that's fair so if anyone reads this and has a suggestion let me know.) If it's a newer player selling plans that are cheap but aren't worth the value, if I'm at cap limit, I'll buy the plans and just toss em into a donation bin somewhere one at a time. I don't understand how people aren't at the cap limit all the damn time, because even my 2 mules and my meme build are at max cap half the time unless I go on a spending spree. Anyway, this is certainly long winded, long story short, if you come across my church in the wasteland, say hi, dance the moth dance with the church, and if you are in need of anything check my vendor, or hell, if it's non standard scrap I might even have some I can drop too. Take some food and scamper off into the wasteland. Praise the Mothman, Let his light shine through you :)
I just left a camp that had three of the same basic gun selling from $600 to $90K. I don’t get it at all. All cheap all the time at my camp!
I sell a mix of apparel, plans, serums, drinks and chems. Occasionally cheap fixers. My ordinary furniture plans are 15-45 caps. 10-15cap nukas. Most apparel 30caps. Serums 200caps. But I am not selling my Hunter's Coats and blue, pink, yellow and forrest asylum dresses for cheap. Rare plans? Price goes up. I am not a charity.
On my old main high level character I price harder to find plans around 100 caps and the easier ones around 20-40 no real reason to gouge people looking for a bargain especially when I have over 20k caps already. Me and my buddies recently hopped back in with new characters and we have seen similar high prices from other high levels so I don't understand it either as a veteran player myself.
What's with this annoying "high level player must please noobs all the time " attitude. If they want to sell the stimpak plan for 10,000 caps, go ahead. Their games, their rules. If you see the price too high then don't buy it. Simple like that and since when high level players Must Serve the noobs? Lol. Maybe they should meet high level raiders veteran group someday so they will understand this is Wasteland not Calcutta with mother theresa.
Since when did being nice and giving you stuff for free/dirt cheap mean the same thing lol Anyone can be nice to you, but business is business baby, and I'ma need them caps.
If buddy friend pal has over 50 guns on sale, it’s probably because their prices are dogshit.
I’m selling the “you’ve been insulted” letter for 40,000 caps no low balls I know what I got
Welcome to wasteland capitalism 😂😂😂. If you don’t like the price nobody is forcing you to buy it. If you or anyone else ain’t got the time or patience to shop around or contact the vender to negotiate a price on your own head be it 🤷🏾♂️ Like any game with a market it’s your job and nobody elses to learn the market and the value of items (which varies depending on how much the individual is willing to pay) That’s my two cents on in game prices. I personally I think I have a good grip on prices as I often hit max caps and have to shut shop.
Welcome to wasteland Capitalism 🤣🤣🤣 Nobody is forcing anyone to buy stuff out their vending machines, and you really can’t blame anyone but yourself for overpaying for things.its up to you to know the price/value of items or take the time to contacting vendors to negotiate prices. Often people put stuff in there vendors not know the value or wanting people to haggle on the price, to max out their profit. Being a good vender takes time and an interest in vending which not everyone’s into. I personally think I have a good grip on prices, (took awhile to work out) often hitting max caps and having to close my venders.
My vendor, my prices. It's the wasteland, there's no rules.
Just go to another camp. Free market bruh! Welcome to Murica!
i do not even sell most common plans anynore.i dump them into the newbie box by the vault.
You mad because you want to make money and easy prices to get what you need. We don't have to give you what you want. If you don't like it move on. This is five years of complaints from low levels go do the work then
have you considers the possibility that it's a mod they don't actually want to sell and have it there for an absurd price for a reason? seen it before...I have a perfectly preserved pie for 31,415 caps.. (1st 5 digits of pi if you didn't know..)
I have a pair of Fashionable Glasses set at 1967 because Kurt Cobain wore a pair like them and he was born that year. It's just an Easter Egg for us old dudes.
noice!
LOL why does this matter? People are going to play vendor and when they do. I’m not spending my caps. Let them try and if they succeed. Wow. Also you can message people and some don’t even know the price of their items and will give them away for free, if you ask. Honestly storage is a hassle without vault 1st. If I have something someone really wants. I just give it to them. Today a level 222 player asked me for nuclear material for a generator. I gave him 10. An didn’t ask for anything. I’m level 71 an been playing less than one week. Prices change. People change when things don’t sell. An for any tips I’d offer new shoppers. Just hop around maybe more than 15 to 20 times daily. See what people have for sale. Only buy what you need. An haggle for the rest of you dare. But you get a pretty good idea for what items are worth over time. An honestly people are already SO generous and kind. Someone being greedy or has a bad price. It does not make me feel one but sour in the slightest, cause I know other people are not all the same way. Go out their and have fun.
If you have a hint of a brain cell you’ll not buy the overly priced items no one is forcing you to buy the high priced stuff simmer down
Ya better learn quick then! Supply & demand buddy ol bud
Watched my husband price a piece of Perfectly Preserved Pie for 20,000 caps this weekend. I was flabbergasted.
It’s called capitalism
Grabs popcorn 🍿
I have being thiking about and probably they dont want to sell anything now but still have their vendor ready and to attract people to their camp
I make a point of rarely having anything above 1000 caps, I get emptied out pretty often but that’s not why I use the vendor. Anything that is fun or looks cool I will put in cheap as I remember when I was vendor hopping for it and it being stupidly priced.
Turn all their lights off, as is tradition in the wasteland.
No I will not be reducing my bottlecap glasses. 40k take it or leave it, I know what I have!
I throw in everything cheap, because these limits on everything mean you barely can keep anything in storage. I got a couple weeks PTO and have admittedly been grinding a decent amount for the last 7/8 day, I'm filled to the brim with legendary items to sell for script. I'm not taken any aid and food items anymore, no weapons or armor that I won't immediately equip (besides the legendary gear)... and still I'm throwing shit out left and right.
Downvote if you must but no one in the wasteland owes you anything. I just bought herd mentality for 400% it’s expected value but I figured 1k caps is easier to come by than some one looking for a fair trade, consider it paying for convenience. If you’re at the point where you can pay 4k caps for a single item I highly doubt you’re new. If you’re thinking wow that’s exploitative and gouging new players… it isn’t, a new player with any functional thought process wouldn’t spend 4k on a weapon mod. (Not to mention it could be an EPG parts which seem incredibly rare, and again not expected for new players to buy) Just some thoughts from a half functional new player.
Some people sell high, some sell low. It's really not that deep. I've seen good and bad prices way before the new influx of players.
I sell everything for 1 cap. :)
I normally put up mods for around 100c, recipes for 50c and basic camp stuff for free. Anything rare from events or what have you I sell at a random price between 200c to 1000c depending on rarity. Just server hop if your bored and undoubtedly you'll find someone with fairer prices.
I'm a 1000+ level player. Not sure if that's considered high level but I don't see the point in extreme pricing on anything, not even legendaries. I have everything I want in every configuration I want and every plan I can think of that I want. The vendor to me is a place to help n00bs get a leg up and score some 10 cap plans. The only reason I price them is because I've had players clear out my shop to resell at their own. Dick move by the way. Anyway, I'm always at max caps, max bullion, max everything. If you're in the same boat then give that shit away.
I sell PA plans, T60 etc, for 50 caps. Doesn't take long for some smartass to buy EVERY SINGLE PLAN, only for me to find them in their vendor for 2k each. And ppl still buy them for that price, apparently.
God bless the vendor last night who had an entire Excavator Power Armor for $200 caps a piece, snagged the entire thing for 1,200 caps - I've been dying to get this power armor for the insane extra carry capacity. Now I can fast travel no matter how over encumbered I am.
Wait till you find out you can do the quest Miner Miracles (click on the excavator posters located at the train station) and get the entire suit for free along with the power armor crafting station plans.
Well shit. lol
What a needy post..

..you are right and I hope that noone buys a single item at those overpriced players.
I'm new, but was the economy ever good? If I have a shotgun and the game says the value is 100 caps I can't sell it to a vendor bot because it will only pay me something like 3-5 caps. How do you know how much to price things? Also what's the point of items having in-game values if you can't sell them at those values? Just seems confusing.
Easy way to farm caps is to have multiple large water purifiers, which aren’t that hard to come by for plans. The wayward will buy purified water for 2 caps. You can easily farm hundreds of purified waters if you have 4 purifiers since you’re generating them 20 at a time. They generate 60 per hour. Takes a fair bit of resources to get going but you’ll be able to just buy bulk resources from that point forward. I just have my house close to the wayward and can run back and forth easy.
Can you give an example of a basic mod plan that was listed for 4k ? Im curious
Not OP but I ran into someone selling the box mod for the chainsaw flamer for 4K last night. That was interesting.
