He makes it sound like he's making money on broker fees, but that's only ever a sink, even if you have an absolute advantage due to having a lower value of broker fees... you're still only making money off what you can flip them for.
He is using the pre-patch broker fee to squeeze the margin, so that people who post buy orders after the patch will have 0% margin, while he still has margin.
But if you want to know whether it worked or not, just take a look at the PLEX market now. The short answer is no. |

I'd say there's a reason why probag is the only one in on this and it's not because he's smarter than everyone else.

Well, I don't have a long story, but I do have a screenshot showing my latest venture :)
And this doesn't include about 700 Bil in BPO's.
At this point, I don't really care how it turns out anymore. I started accumulating a year before the Citadels were announced so my average cost is probably lower than most salvage holders.
Other speculators are welcome to liquidate when they see this (or refrain from accumulating), it will help balance out the price faster :P
The economy will take care of the rest, when all the research and manufacturing switch over to Citadels. It's out of my hands now, and it will take forever to liquidate all of this anyway. |

I was expecting someone with your knowledge of what AT ships trade for to actually own a few.

I don't own any, because I don't believed in the "value" that's being thrown around on the forums. And this "value" is too arbitrary.
Because the transactions are not open-market, there is only a "perception" of price. I am sure this "perception" is being manipulated, because the market is not transparent, so it is easy to manipulate.
I just know that when there is actually some market transparency, like when you or Big Lynx try to sell AT ships on the contract system for 100 Bil, they always expire without any buyers (except for the Cambion that Big Lynx just sold). |

I welcome you to actually try trading them before you throw your uninformed opinion around.

Alright, I might actually try it, eventually once I get all this junk liquidated.
But I am really uncomfortable, for even spending 60 billion on a ship (which is currently being "valued" at 100 bil), because honestly to me, it's not even worth 40 billion. |

Here's an idea... the market for these ships doesn't reside in your head... I'd buy any AT ship for 60 bil.

I'll take your advice into consideration, you have a point, and seem adamant enough about it.
