Money confusion

[Crymson]

Ok I've been playing about a week now and i have 666 sweat. I've seen others selling it at .65. I thought ok i will try it. Well my math tells me
666 x .65= 432.90 um so i went to do a trade and they offered me 4.10 I dont get it. Is that right, am i being scammed, or is my math off? I didnt trade thought i better find out first lol.So confused

it is worth .65pecs a bottle, so 432.9pecs is how much it is worth at .65.

Hey Crymson, and Welcome to Calypso...

Sadly their Maths is correct..

Sweat corrently sells at around 0.65 PEC per bottle...

or in other words 1000 sweat will net you 6.5 ped.

I remember a time when it was 1.4 ped per bottle, more experienced players will tell you it once was 3.2...

So, Yes.. Swesting for Ped is a long hard slow process, but there are other skills to be gained along the way, such as evade, and it gives you plenty of opportunity to get used to the controls and meet people...

Consider depositting a few bucks. Even $20/£30 will set you up with a few basics.

Read the guides in Noobs Corner for loads of helpful tips and advice.

And have fun!

Its because you mixed up ped and pecs.

Sweat for 0.65 means for each sweat you get 0.0065 peds, or 0.65 pecs

666 x 0.65 peds (or 666 x 65 pecs) = 432.90 peds
666 x 0.65 pecs (or 666 x 0.0065 peds) = 4.329 peds

they offered ~0.615 not 0.65...

but overall still a fair enough offer.. for the low amount of 666...

i would suggest building up more sweat and trying to get more out of it.

Thankies for the info guys
At least i understand now and i think i will save up some more i just want enough to upgrade guns whatever it is i need.
Like i said im a newbie lol. But its a interesting game and its my stress releiver lol. I have a business in another online world and this breaks up the day to day stress and actually makes me more creative in the other world. Plus I draged my BF in and i think he is getting a kick out of it even though he wont admit it lol.
Anyway thanks again

Make mindessens and sel it on the aution

u can buy fors nexus at 140%

mindessens can be sold in buyout for cr 230%

1 ped in AUC/refining expenses and this will gives you a mark-up for your sweat pr 1k

14+1-23=8

u may get a refiner from the tt for 2 ped

so u may get in ped pr 1000 sweat 8 ped or in pec 0.8 for 1 sweat

disadvantage u need to buy fors nexus. and refine it with your sweat.

advantage u don’t need to sell yore sweat for 0.65 one the street,

hope this helps

some will tell you that the at the 1.4 times the sweat was far harder to get (say, max amount per pull 5, not 22 like now) and
that the 3.2 was at a time when the supply went down due to changes in the sweating process :P
so, just a very short peak in the price, like the 4.4 week

for the guides

take a look in my signature for one

Of course some will also say that life's too short to worry about whether the price was 2.5 times higher at 3.17 pm April 16th last year than the price in PA will be tomorrow morning, but that at that time, the rate of gathering sweat was 19 times lower than it would be if the current price was 0.4 higher than it was yesterday afternoon at neas.

Some will also say that it's not necessary to post a response to every single one of Alice's posts about sweat price. (Wrong....it is necessary )

I say enjoy the game

To the OP, I have had this occasionally as well - you sell something (sweat, paint whatever) in a private trade, and the buyer puts the wrong amount of peds in the window.

Chances are they made an honest mistake or hit the wrong key on their calculator. Just query it in the private chat window that comes up with the trade. In fact I always check the price in private chat before commencing trade, because some people do shout buying xxxx nn% and then when you try and trade they offer another lower price.

But if you get what looks like the wrong amount of peds just query it...spell out the maths in the chat window. '666 x .65 = 432.90 so shouldn't that be 4.32 peds ?' Most likely they will realise their error and give you the correct amount, and if not don't trade with them.

But also, as nihilist said, it's worth building up bigger amounts of sweat. Also if you sell round multiples of 1k, it's easier for mathematically challenged people to get the price right They'll thank you for making their life easier, and you may get a slightly better price for the bigger amount.

Have fun sweating
