#Unable to flip damaged goods for profit as per the .14 patch notes

Damaged items you buy from the scrap dealer on OKLG and repair/restore to full sell for 25-50% less than the purchase price when damaged

Patch notes said it would be possible to buy things damaged, repair and restore them and then sell them for a profit.

Playtime - 5h 43m 51s
Version - EA Build 0.14.0.1 (64)
Debug - Not applicable
Mods - None

I was able to reproduce this bug 100% of the time - I bought air pumps, reactor parts, An arcade machine and a towing brace, all damaged.

Repaired them and went to sell - At the license kiosk and the broker they sell for a significant loss compared to what I paid.

Can confirm on a quarter-reactor. The Broker sold it damaged for ~4.5k, the Fixer bought it "like new" for the same price.

This issue persists as of 0.14.0.4

Paid 6,585.60 for a damaged battery, repaired it with parts I keep on board, restored it to full, can only sell it for 1,265.06

Thanks for the continued heads up. I'll make a note to take a look.

My career as a repairman counts on it!

#

it seems that sale price >>>>>> value at time of sale

#

for both ships and items

Sell them for a profit... Never said who was going to profit off your slave-labour economic work 😀

#

Pretty sure ship values have a lot more going on under the hood than just the item's value. Room multipliers come into play

example

#

i'm flying a stolen ship, fixed it all up

#

turning around instantly

#

What ship was it?

fervent python
#

charon mk1

#

Did you say you sold it immediately after buying?

fervent python
#

my testudo dream isn't even here, docked with OKLG, and it's worth almost double

Your room overlay is an absolute mess

fervent python
#

is it?

fervent python
#

I didn't sell it, i just showed that to say after buying, the value plummets regardless of the actual ship value

#

a few patched ago, this ship would've been worth about 1 mil

#

Unless I am not seeing something, some of your rooms do not cover wall-to-wall as they should, which would affect the value.

oh like that

#

that may be a different bug?

#

Is E-T7Z1 the call number for the Dream or the Charon, by chance?

fervent python
#

the charon ofc

#

the dream was worth 400K and something

A fix for damaged parts flipping should be incoming.

Some specialty vendors will still gouge you, but most common vendors should allow some profit from sweat equity

\o/

#

Specialty vendors you'd expect that. If I can buy it at the scrapper and sell the fixed product to the normal sales kiosk at a profit I'll be happy enough
