For starters, I'm not an overly active Trade Chat participant, but I've browsed more than enough to know a scam when I see one. Sure platinum is one of the most sought after items on Warframe, but it's not worth selling your prime parts for 1-3 platinum per piece.
Honestly, all "Uncommon" and "Rare" pieces have a higher value as Ducats than 1-3 platinum (with the "Common" value pieces I think its dealers choice.) Baro Ts items cant be bought from the market w/ platinum, so players are forced to disassemble their prime parts in exchange for ducats. And I've seen people sell an item from Baros Bazaar (costs 100,000 credits and 100 ducats) for up to 50 platinum, that's a 49 platinum come up for them, because you just wanted to get rid of stuff. So really, don't sell your "Rare" relic drops for anything shy of at LEAST 5-10 platinum.
I get that it's your choice, and that "you can do whatever you want", and in most cases I wouldn't even bother. But drastically underselling prime parts is a big part of the reason the Warframe Trade is a joke. And makes it harder for those of us who actually want something in return for our efforts.
In conclusion, if you want to sell your excess prime parts, either: wait till 3-4 days before Baro visits. People will pay more knowing they're about to need Ducats. Wait till the Vault rotation changes and they become in higher demand again. (There's always new people joining too) Or just wait till you have the entire set. If you lack the patience to get the items by playing the game, or just really want platinum that badly, then you're kind of missing the point of this game.

Someone tell me I'm wrong.
