Herman ARK-30 (L) + Dante vs GeoTrek LP485 Apis (L) + Dante

Before I go on with what I'm about to say, out of good conscious, I feel I must admit I own an ARK-30 BP and am doing this to increase it's popularity. (If you are an avid Apis user and at first opposed to this thread, please take a moment to consider that ARK-30s increasing in popularity may help push down the prices of Apis.)

My Conclusions:
You now have the information and having been educated can come to your own conclusions. As such, you don't need my opinion.

 

Love this weapon. Will probably be in touch when I am back on Arkadia in a couple of weeks.

 

If you're on Calypso I am selling on Calypso auction at 120%, I just don't want to list on Arkadia auction since I fear they may go unsold due to lower demand.

 

dont need em on caly. got merps to kill...

 

maybe you should lower your prices
i find lame that you guys want to charge over 5% more to arkadian than caly residents, and them blame on demand
maybe you are making arkadian needing to buy it at calypso as almost the difference of one gun is equal to transport cost
i do the opposite of you to support the economy and as i think is the more fair thing to do, not rip the richness of this world to sell in other
as i see it arkadian things should be more expensive in caly not the other way araund

 

I've never once listed an ARK-30 for sale on arkadia auction so please don't think I'm lame for trying to charge more there, I fear the sale not going through at any price. I'll be happy to meet there, when I am there, in person to make trades. I make finder amps on caly to mine resources on arkadia, so I'm travelling back and forth anyhow, just to mine, the prices I set on caly reflect the supply of similar guns (such as apis).

 

I will buy from you if you throw in a dante for a viable MU to use with these... The hard part is not the decission for the gun .. its the aquisition of the dante

 

I wish I could make you a dante but sorry I don't have the bp
