I think I found a business opportunity where I win, you win and Arkadia Studios also wins. Not possible? Think again! Or at least hear me 'till I finish my idea and decide at that time if it's possible or not. Soo... here's the deal... Player one wants to deposit money to the game - let's say 25 USD (works for any multiple of this amount, just not smaller fractions) for which he would have to pay deposit fees, which would leave him with 241.30 PED if depositing from credit card (so 8.70 PED fee), or 240.10 PED if depositing from PayPal (so 9.90 PED fee). Player two wants to buy AUDs with in-game funds and have to pay the current (inflated) price of 51-52 PED (or wait quite a bit to find an opportunity), which is higher than even the web-shop price (of $5/50 PED). What if both, player one and player two would read this thread and set a deal to meet at a point where they both can win? The meeting point I propose is 50 PED per AUD. So player one buys 5 AUDs from webshop with his 25 USD, meets player two in game and trades him the AUDs for 250 PEDs (5 * 50 PED), winning the deposit fees (so 8.70 to 9.90 PED); at the same time, player two also wins 5 to 10 PED, because he ends up paying 250 PEDs for his 5 AUDs (instead of 255 - 260 if buying from AH). Now this is kinda speculation, but I'm like 99% sure I'm right about it: At the same time, instead of player one's money going to MindArk (as if they would in case of a regular deposit), they will go to Arkadia Studios who sells the AUDs from the web shop, though directly helping future planet development / promotion. Not to mention that if/when all AUDs from web shop will be eventually sold, all of us, AUDs owners, will probably win too as a side effect, because price would probably really start going up for them. * * * * * So... Do you wanna "deposit via AUDs" and have some for sell at 50 PED each? Please post here. Do you wanna "buy AUDs at web-shop price, but with PEDs"? Please post here. Then feel free to get in contact with each other and settle the trade details.
And here I am placing myself the first order... if any nice depositor (so AUDs seller) is willing to trade with me, I'm up for buying two AUDs every beginning of a new month.
Hehe, I been doing that for a friend as well, when she wants to deposit, she buys AUDs and i pass her 50 to 51 peds per AUD, depending on market rates. As you said, it's a win win
Think there is loads of demand but a lack of supply (if there is enough supply, i'd like to place an order of 200 )
