Time to sell off some Samo.

I'm not interested in your views of how much you think it's worth

I have lot's of this stockpiled and now willing to sell some of it off. For now I am only interested in selling 50 units but this might increase if the demand is there.

I'm looking for 10mil a unit. I will drop to 9mil a unit if you buy more than 10 units.

Demand for samo is much lower than it was before. Soo many people have multiple tridents. Ever heard of the principles of "supply and demand"? 10m ea probably worked before, but not anymore nowdays. Why spend 10m if I could just solo leviathans, if not get one free from a guild member?

joylessjoker, keep the expert analysis coming...

Seriously, that's what you guys play this game for? To swim in a pool full of gold coins like Scrooge McDuck? Last time I looked it's a space shooter...

If the samo is so easy to get, JJ, what the fuck do you care what he's charging?
Jan 21, 2015 Yellowdog link
I don't care what he is charging, but to me this game doesn't place a value on how much money you have. Pretty much, after you hit 1 million, it's pointless, you can afford to buy 3 of whatever you want because money is so easy to earn.

Glad you sold 1 unit, hope you sell 50 units, but what the hell are you gonna do with 500 Million in this game? It's not like the you get the Stealth Viper, undected by any radar, invisible to the naked eye. 500 Million gets you about the same as I get with my 5 Million I've earned.

However, if it makes you feel like a shrewd businessman, look what I've earned, go for it. Make yourself proud.

Lol Yellowdog, you're so sure.

A given amount of money means you can fight for a period of time without stopping to earn more. One hundred times that amount means you can fight for one hundred times as long before stopping to earn more. How is this not obvious? Maybe you don't fight enough.

People have no imagination. Off the top of my head:

- Buy 5% of a complete trident kit from me.

- Grant endowments to 5 or 10 fledgling guilds.

- Fund both sides of a war that perpetuates your business model.

- Bathe in it.

[PS: Breazle, if you see me on, I'll take some off your hands.]

Go conquer some stations and see how fast you can burn a few million. :)
Jan 22, 2015 joylessjoker link
You can only burn a few million if you're so bad that you keep forgetting to target turrets before letting go swarms.

CD, I was thinking the same thing, with the same phrasing. I'd add

- hire escorts, mercenaries, haulers, assassinations, squadrons

- buy stuff for missions

- sponsor events

- fund noobs in group combat situations

- pay off pirates, if you're into that sort of things

You can only burn a few million if you're so bad that you keep forgetting to target turrets before letting go swarms.

I've only seen you (joylessjoker) at one station battle. Maybe you limit yourself to bombing when there is no serious defense. I've seen station battles where after one side wins the dock the battle just keeps on going, sometimes 4 or more complete rounds. It's rare but it's fun as hell, and can cost a bit. I've seen players drop out of a battle because they've run out of funds. That won't be me.

Sure thing Diamond. As for all the above comments

1) Samo is mainly used for bragging rights or storing for the future. Once you have a certain amount it makes sense to liquidate

2) Yes the money will be going towards the finishing touches to my trident build

3) Nation Wars have stopped. Though it may be a small prize of 10million it would be nice to be able to fund a year of Nation Wars

4) Completely agree with Pizzasgood I haven't earnt money in Vo in years I don't intend to start now. Earn one million and be fine for a day, Earn 500 and be fine for a year

So Yes you can spend your money on lot's of things.

- Thanks CD when I see you online we can sort something out.

It might be worth opening a separate thread to discuss VO economics. 5 mil is far into my red zone. 15-30 mil is better for me, and some players operate in spectra high above this. I think, though, if you play long enough, you will run into situations where you will wish you had more than 5 mil on hand. You'll know it when you get there.

Let's try to stay on topic.
Jan 22, 2015 joylessjoker link
I thought the current topic is that Breazle is being excessively showy about his exquisite samoflange collection and will soon have yet another big pool of gold coins to swim in? He admitted it, after all:

Samo is mainly used for bragging rights.

As if a bragging right in an obscure game that barely made progress in 10 years is a worthy accomplishment and would make chicks throw themselves onto you. It's a great, productive use of your time!

Just some food for thought, guys.

No. This is a thread designed to facilitate buyer-seller interaction, because right now it's the best we've got. Breazle is the author, and I think we ought to be respectful toward his intentions. If you have something you want to sell, feel free to open your own thread.

I'm quite happy it goes off topic, the title says it all.

As for me showing off. I disagree, I have played on and off for years, years ago Samo was a much more frequent drop so building a stockpile was far easier. Nowadays it's a rarer item, so now is the time to sell what I have.

Any how just shows you can do very little in Vendetta without the trolls coming out to play

I would like to add that I haven't seen any Samo drop from Levis ever since I play. The only way to get one unit for free is doing the Slay the Hydra Mission which takes it's time to unlock and cannot be done by any newbie on a tablet. Samo is indeed rare and the price of 10 million is an okay one...

This thread makes me laugh at the 230cu of Samo I gave away when I called it quits on VO the first time.
