Well everyone says that a series are so eco. But the opalo + amp combo gave me less loot return than plain opalo (test on many k peds of ammo over months).
We presume that an amp is considered as pure "ammo", but what if MA considers a part of it decay, a larger part of it then an E-amp or a L amp. what if the eco of the a series is just 4.00 instead.

Public awareness of the situation has reached critical mass, due in part to theads like this. Every would-be reseller and his pet exa are playing the amp market.

Like i said earlier in the thread, now would be a good time for MA to drop some new unlimited and improved shear amps to scare the market and ruin some quick fortunes.

Oh well, it's fun to watch the pack of dogs turn on each other...

Oohh are you trying to say that the increase on A105 during the last month from TT+1200 to TT+2400 isn't legit

Could anyone really be so evil as to manipulate the market...

Oohh the greed

Yes, economy is easy to calculate. It's dmg/cost, where cost is decay+ammo usage. Only thing with better eco than A-series, is imk2.

I once lost 100 peds on an imk2 hunt... And I once got an 2.5k ped uber with ml-35me. I'm pretty sure imk2 has better eco than ml-35me though.

Amps decay.
Decay is easily measured too... So, what do you mean?

Auction orders 18:22, April 22th 2008

The a103's have actually surpassed the a101's and a102's in value...

If one had brought, let's say 100 amps before this thread was made and sold them now, one would have made a profit of more than 7.5k Peds, with nothing but a initial investment of 5.5k...
( Not counting the market fluctuations that would arise from ones initial effect on the market when trying to buy 100 a103's)

remember folks, you don't need to buy a a104 amp for +400 if you think it's a bad price.. if everyone would think like that ml35's and camo's would cost +3-6k still.
but some morons who think "I want a ml35, oh +20k, I'll should wait untill they drop in price...BUT I WANT ONE NOOOOOW" will always buy when the item when it is too expensive. then the reseller thinks to himself "heh, I just sold a item who was extreamly overpriced, let's try to raise the price even more, maybe some moron takes the bait again" and then hunters are screwed.
