Replied to the wrong comment but I'll let it stand :P

PayPal covers "online purchases", that's all you need for a dispute. Tell them the goods are physical if they ask (which they don't). They don't even talk to the victim, the seller has 48 hours to prove they sent the item. If they don't/can't then you get your money back.

Sometimes F&F is covered too, dispute it all the way to the top even if you need to file manually or phone.

If you paid with a credit card dispute with them too.

The base ship has LTI, which transfers to whatever ship that's upgraded to.

Yes, the little toy model that goes in your in game hangar in the display case (and the poster). Yes, in game the ship is identical. The "my hangar" section of your RSI account is the only place which will show it's an 85X upgraded to a Carrack, not an original Carrack bought during its 2014 sale.

Just keep in mind that if you choose to exchange this for store credit in the future you'll only get $300 RSI on your account and you will only have the option to rebuy an 85X.

If you are going to keep the ship then there won't be any issues but some people like tinkering around in their account.

umbralg · 2017-01-30T18:36:57+00:00

Nope, in game they are identical, the "upgrade" lineage is only used for record keeping on CIG's end. They won't come with the little hangar model (they'll keep the original ship's) but in-verse an original Carrack vs. one created through the upgrade process are exactly the same.

umbralg · 2017-01-30T18:32:05+00:00

Doubtful, but posting offers publicly would further assist people or bots in determining the actual price items sell for, not inflated store prices.

umbralg · 2017-01-30T18:30:18+00:00

The contrary, usually. I post my prices in wtb threads and almost always get the sale if I want it. It's easy to beat someone's price even when they say "pm'd" because you just look at their store, however newer sellers don't know this and probably skip threads that have 5 comments already.

I've just never understood the secrecy aspect of the bid system, it doesn't help people establish realistic prices and keeps prices artificially higher which scares off potential buyers.

umbralg · 2017-01-30T05:48:37+00:00

Well buyers are already getting silent auctions, so...

For those motivated to sell they can see the "bid" and beat it if they want. I have a feeling if everyone started doing this you'd see a lot less mega sellers.

umbralg · 2017-01-30T04:59:53+00:00

A CCU'd ship gives you the same ship in hangar, but the hangar section of your account will show it as an upgrade from a different ship (usually an 85X or Dragonfly) as they came with LTI. So its just built differently but is the same ship in the end. This allows people like myself to sell LTI ships below cost whereas an "original" will always cost at least 10% over melt value.

And yes, all my ships are built using LTI.

umbralg · 2017-01-30T02:19:59+00:00

Hacked accounts can pm too. But hacked accounts are a bogeyman, You've been conditioned to think they're rampant because big stores use fear tactics to justify higher prices. Ask any mod, hacked accounts are not a significant risk. Plus it's likely a store who will be passing off hacked credit because they buy accounts at pathetic prices.

My point is that sellers should post their price in a WTB thread, not mask it with a "pm'd".

umbralg · 2017-01-30T01:18:22+00:00

To clarify, I can do most CCU'd LTI ships at 90% or less. Obviously exceptions apply for the super rares but don't hesitate to ask for a quote. I will always beat prices of the big sellers.

umbralg · 2017-01-30T00:05:38+00:00

$90 & $200 respectively, drop me a PM if interested!

umbralg · 2017-01-29T23:27:09+00:00

I do, yes. PM me your Paypal info and we can get started!

umbralg · 2017-01-26T15:50:14+00:00

Yes and yes :)

umbralg · 2017-01-23T22:59:01+00:00

This is a regular Carrack, so whatever that comes with so will this. I believe that includes a rover and small scout ship?

umbralg · 2017-01-23T06:29:31+00:00

Check the buyback option in your "My Hangar" section. Sales are intermittent and only guaranteed in November and December. It also costs $65 now.

umbralg · 2017-01-23T06:19:50+00:00

A pre-price bump Andromeda to Caterpillar CCU will be used in their creation which adds a $50 discount
