    I seem to recall that, until you reach a certain level or reputation achievement, NONE of the vendors will give you 50% of the items value? I cannot recall precisely what it is that gets them giving you a better deal on trash loot than 40%. Someone selling items caught in that predicament just might be getting a "good" price at what they are asking for it on the exchange.

    I don't know for certain and cannot check right now due to a lack of low level characters, but I seem to remember that my 50% traders (Barman at starfleet academy and the female Klingon dealer who is simultaneously at KlinkAcad and First City) pay that from the beginning. Same for Nimbus bartender, but you have to be I think level 20 to get there.

    I understand the protect my item option to prevent you from selling your own stuff and I understand that turning on an option for items not to be resold prevents flipping an item but the latter would mostly hurt people with limited bank space or even people trying to learn the economy so that they can make a little extra.

    I flipped the topic to all bound all the time because it is the possible extreme. Not being able to sell it means it needs to be bound or you could just WTS WTT it in chat. The end result everything bound. I think everything bound games are a lazy game design. I much preffer the all items always tradable and sellable ways of old.

    Totally Not True.

    Make a new toon, after tutorial get an item from your shared bank or mail it to yourself... pref a space equipment. Check vendors, there will be some that will buy at 50% of list price... others at replicator prices.

    Commodities vendor do not give you a good price from what I recall.

    Shop around and check the vendors. Rep has no influence.

    Ok. Must've changed when they revamped the pricing like what, 2 years ago now? It was a thing, just wasn't sure if it still was. My last new toon was AoY, and EC was never really a factor since I have others.
