Trainer772 Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 (edited) After a busy 30 hours of trading, I got mods that I never had before, like Coolant leak, Quick Thinking, Handspring Shield flux, etc. and essentially completed my entire collection of pre-11 mods except for Whirlwind. I got rid of some pretty rare mods like extra Rages, Firestorms, etc. But then an offer was made that I couldn't resist. I haggled a bit until I got it up. This was and will be the only time I ever dispose of a mod that I do not own any copies of. http://youtu.be/P_aYHUBPm3o If you think I made a stupid move, you are perfectly entitled to your opinion. If you think I struck it rich, you are also entitled to that opinion. I was betting on the hopes that this mod will be released later on, even if it becomes as rare as firestorm/rage/quickthinking/seeker. The fact is, I am one mod and one million credits poorer. And a little richer in something else. I only really used the mod on Nekros and Trinity anyways; I might live with a 1 second Blessing cast time... might. On the bigger scheme of things, the trading system has essentially turned the game into something more like Eve online with a real-world economy. Mods now have real cash value that is based solely on the highest bidder you meet, and in trading chat I'm seeing many mods going for prices between $1-3. I guess NT was worth almost $100 to someone. Edit: If you feel bad for the other guy, you shouldn't. He had 14k plat. Edited November 22, 2013 by Trainer772 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlienTetris Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 When you told me it was worth thousands, i thought you just didnt like me. i now see why you kept this mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slurmageddon Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 2 thousand platinum in exchange for a mod that didnt really do anything special (lets be honest here) and 1 million credits you can easily make back with some efficient grinding... Honestly I feel bad for the person you traded with. You swindled them for a @(*()$ fortune. But hey, you're, happy, they're (I hope) happy and its nothing to do with me so no harm no fowl I guess...

It's the collection value. Owning an unreleased mod has an extremely high value for collectors, and I believe he was a collector. He placed an extremely high value on it, so I went with it.

He placed an extremely high value on it, so I went with it. But as these mods become released and their true market value is established, will it be worth 100 dollars to have had it a little bit sooner than everyone else ? I don't know, like you said, they are apparently a collector so each to their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, like you said, they are apparently a collector so each to their own. Some people value owning Ember prime faster than anyone else can collect the parts and build them. Some people value owning Berserker faster than the Alad V battle can be released. Dunno man, dunno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sold my NT for 200 plat for a friend of mine, still feel good bout selling for the right price. 100-200 is a common price that buyers ask for, but it's very hard to come by anyone who'd sell under 200.

Leriel Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 I bet that guy gonna get sickburned when DE changes how Natural Talent work on Warframe abilities. I wouldn't risk buying those "accidental" mods as DE said they will be changed in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't risk buying those "accidental" mods as DE said they will be changed in the future. I honestly don't see Natural Talent being changed in the future. It's perfectly fine as it is and completely balanced since it indirectly consumes energy faster and takes up a mod slot that could have been used for something else. He wanted it for collection value more so than utility anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rangeless Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 (edited) Trainer making them gainzzzzzz. Everyone should hush up. The mod is good but not overpowered, and besides, completing a collection of mods has intrinsic value. Anyone who has ever owned a collection or played any pokemon or trading card game can understand the need to collect everything!
