I put items on the Exchange for Energy Credits, and no one buys any of 'em. There are other items on the Exchange I seek, but I can't buy 'em if no one buys the items I've put up for sale. Such as Infinity Lock Boxes, which clearly I don't need 'cause I've no Master Keys. Besides, I'm looking for the String Bikini and 1,000 Lohlunat Favors. But to buy those items, I need Energy Credits. Is anyone willing to help?

    Aside from lockboxes, check the price on the items you want to sell. You can click and drag the item to the text field in the exchange window. Once you get the prices people are selling the same thing for, then you can put them up for less and they should sell better.

    I don't sell on the exchange anymore. I vendor everything.
    Now a LTS and loving it.
    Just because you spend money on this game, it does not entitle you to be a jerk if things don't go your way.
    I have come to the conclusion that I have a memory like Etch-A-Sketch. I shake my head and forget everything. :D

    Well, if you're selling Infinity Lock Boxes.. you can't expect to make any money. They are literally free from the C-Store, you can claim them 10 at a time as many times as you want. They also drop like rain from any content you do.. why would anyone ever pay you for them?

    If you want to make money selling items, you have to sell items with value. Infinity Lock Boxes have no value.. none.

    Lohlunat favors will be expensive right now because they're only available during the Summer Event, the only way to get them right now is to buy them from other players and other players know this. If you want the quick and easy way, buy a little bit of Zen, buy some Lock Box Keys, sell the keys and buy what you want. You're never going to get there trying to resell items with absolutely zero value.

    I'd have to agree with everyone here. Your biggest mistake is trying to sell something you can get for free, and even on demand for free. At best you'd probably make 10 ECs off a box if you're lucky.

    Last I saw they were 8 mil each, which I attribute to the Mirror Warship being in the Infinity Box. After all... it is a Connie variant.

    Master Keys are currently going for 8M each, you want to make money.. that's what you should be selling.
