What Is The Most You Paid for a GTN Item

[MingusPho]

Looking at the gtn has become painful. It hurts purchasing anything desirable at this point. So I pose the question:

 

What is the most you have paid for a single item on the gtn? and how long ago?

[bdatt]

Maybe 200k? I think it was the Canderous Ordo set in early 2014. Haven't bought anything since.

[ImmortalLowlife]

I paid 10mil for the Dathomir rancor about two- two 1/2 years ago. It literally took me nearly 8 months to save up enough to get it, and costed me nearly every credit I had. Edited September 5, 2017 by ImmortalLowlife

56mil credits for Senya Tirall's Lightsaber. I'm happy I got it when I did, it's so expensive now. Edited September 5, 2017 by Eshvara

[DieAlteHexe]

I think I splurged and paid 700k for a sniper rifle. After that, I started getting serious about my crafting.

[orangenee]

300 grand for some mats to get the Doc on side in that one alliance alert.

 

Then I realised you don't get all that much influence for it as is. So I didn't bother buying anymore. He can wait until my guy who's doing Biochem stuff gets to the point where he can farm them instead.........and then sucker somebody else of course.

 

You can sucker me in once GTN but not again.

[Tahirri]

Recently paid 20m credits for Satele's boots. Flipped it for around 30m within 48 hrs. Risky investment, but made a 10m profit.

[DarthSpuds]

7 Million for a lightsaber hilt with an effect - can't recall which one it was but when I got ift for 7 Million most other were listed for in excess of 10 Million, so I considered a borderline bargain.

 

All The Best

[Bobby_McDonald]

I actually once paid 90m for the czerka crate. But only because I knew it won't bind after I get the achievement. So later I sold it for slightly above 90m again. The most I paid for an item that I actually kept was 7.5m for the woodland varactyl back when it was cool.

[Suzsi]

About 15mil to finish off Sateles armor set, which is about the most ill spend on any item I really want - anything more is way over priced. Even 15 is pushing it.

[AlrikFassbauer]

About 200.000 for Kai Zykken's great invention.

 

And even now, with *that* inflation, I won't go over 200.000 to 300.000. That's my hard border, no matter what people might say.

I must say, though, that I'm always low on money as well, because I spend my money all of the time on smaller things.

[Gomla]

I bought something rare for a couple of million a while back, someone must have mispriced it. Their mistake, my gain.

 

Aside from that I don't really bother with the GTN much.

 

I check it every now and then and see if anything is cheap but I won't spend more than a 100k on anything.

[kodrac]

I spent 14 mill a month ago on the Gault statue. I missed out on it when it was new and it's the only one I liked.

[Tsillah]

Probably when I spent 35 million on one of those platinum lightsabers. That was exceptional even for me though.

[Phenglei]

Around five million or so for a Cartel Market Companion, the Personal Warbot.

 

You know, if I had known at the time that the Cartel Market Companions (Creatures and Droids) cannot perform Crew Skills missions, I might have thought twice before putting a few million Credits into one. But that's my own fault for not doing the research before making the purchase.

 

It is still kind of useful, in the early part of the game, to have an extra Companion to accompany me into combat while I send my other Companions (Treek and Nico Okarr) on Crew Skills missions.

8 million credits for a companion a few weeks ago. Before 4.0's runaway inflation 8 million for Revan's helmet was the most that I paid for an item. I don't feel the need to feed the hyper inflation beast of the GTN nowadays.

That's a big peeve of mine, why can't cartel companions do crew missions when Treek who is also available in the Cartel market is able to do them?

[Aulus_Claudius]

110 Mil for the new blaster pistol set.

 

It differs by server, but that was a reasonable price on mine (T3-M4), and it's not like I'm suffering from a shortage of credits. I made someone's day, and got some cool pistols out of it, so I'm happy.

[Theradonh]

Atm: 40 Million for a weapon tuning.

 

 

But I think I will buy the Dramatic Extrovert Set for over 100 Million but im still not sure.. Maybe its worth to wait, maybe not.. idk

[SourOrange]

The most I've ever paid was four million and it was for a full set. I don't think I'd ever consider paying more than nine or ten million for any set, and certainly no more than five million for any singular item. Edited September 5, 2017 by SourOrange

[jacquelee]

30 million for the artifact authorization (account) for when I go back to preferred. Still don't know if I need it, Google is less than helpful with that, but I thought better safe than sorry. I just really love purple speeders and want to still be able to equip them.

 

Funny thing was, two days after I bought it the price shot up to 60 million.

Off topic, but that's for mods/gear not speeders. Technically, speeders are learned just like pets, not equipped.

15 mil for unstable lightsaber.

[MikeCobalt]

2.5 Mill. that's the absolute limit I'll pay for anything. There's actually a lot on the GTN I'd *Like to have but no way I could justify the amounts to myself. I don't Grind all my days away so those amounts are beyond me.

[Phenglei]

I won't spend more than a 100k on anything.

 

That was my limit, too, for a long time. But then, my spending limit began to increase, almost without my realizing it.

 

It was like, "Well, I really want that item, so ... Okay, I will make an exception and spend 200,000 Credits on something, but JUST THIS ONE TIME."

 

Well, you can probably guess what happened after that.

 

One time turned into two, turned into three ... and before I knew it, 200,000 Credits was my new limit. And then, after that, it started to go up again.

 

(Spending that five million Credits for the Personal Warbot really was something that I only did once, though, mainly because I would've gone broke in the game if I had turned that into a habit.)

 

Nowadays, I am hovering somewhere around 500,000 Credits as the limit for what I'll pay for any item on the GTN. Who knows what it'll be a year from now.

 

That's a big peeve of mine, why can't cartel companions do crew missions when Treek who is also available in the Cartel market is able to do them?

 

I remember talking with several other players on the General chat channel one day (aboard the Republic Fleet) about this. We agreed that it was understandable that Creature companions (who are basically just trained animals) can't do Crew Skills missions, but that Droids should be able to.

 

After all, there are already several Droid companions in the game who can do Crew Skills Missions. We even began listing them : HK-51 and HK-55, C2-N2 and 2V-R8, M1-4X, T7-01, Scorpio.

 

So we wondered what the rationale was for droids that can't do Crew Skills Missions. It's not as if letting the Cartel Market Companions perform Crew Skills would enable you to have more Companions doing so simultaneously. The game already limits the number of Companions you can have performing such tasks at any given time.

 

Oh, well.
