Ferengi Collector buys science consoles for large amounts of latinum

in PC Gameplay Bug Reports
The Ferengi collector at ESD, DS9 and Drozana will buy most science consoles for gold pressed latinum. 800+ gpl for a mk ii common to 40k+ gpl for a very rare mk xii. Works for most science consoles (not bio-monitors and not shield emitters, at least). Does not appear to work for engineering or tactical consoles. Replicated via multiple friends' accounts. Pretty sure this is not intended.

To Reproduce:
1) Go to the Ferengi Collector NPC on ESD, DS9 or Drozana
2) Ask about the prototype consoles
3) Trade in science consoles (other than bio-monitors or shield emitters) for gold pressed latinum.

    Confirmed, thanks for the report! We're reporting it to the Operational Support Team now :)

    I no longer do any Bug Hunting work for Cryptic. I may resume if a serious attempt to fix the game is made.

    Hmm... Wasn't it only supposed to buy the old science consoles that originally had double the skill bonus than today's science consoles (when we still had a different skill system)... Are those consoles even still around? Even after the big "dynamic item" conversion thing? Whoa.​​

    From whats written in the STO Wiki, then yes your right.​​
    Oh, it's not broken? We can soon fix that!

    That was my understanding, although I doubt there are many of those consoles still around. The bug is that the collector accepts lots of random and normal sci consoles in exchange for latinum.

    Also, thanks tarastheslayer!
