Black market stuff that is never needed?

[1Erik1]

I started the habit of hoarding certain stuff like oxygen tanks in my personal quarters to wait for better prices. I was wondering does the black market have things they will NEVER buy? Like are there things I can always sell at the scrap shop instead of waiting for the black market to buy it?

I stopped checking the black market pretty fast.
It's too rare they want something I have.
I just install a bunch of stuff on the ships i flip, to increase value.

You can sell most stuff in a working condition at the permit shop.
When you have a permit.

They definitely prefer the rarer stuff. Usually most of the reactor stuff is bought, but things like pumps almost never. 1x1 Cans are probably way too ordinary for the black market.

The markups are nice, seems to be around 20% above the licensed shop prices. Defintely worth some hoarding and revisiting as the restocking interval is very short.

Yeah, fusion reactor stuff they almost always want.
Otherwise in my game they want expensive pieces of ship equipment. I think it's worth checking it, A. because it refreshes often and offers much better prices on stuff you may want, and B. because they offer much better deals on your stuff.

I wouldn't sweat it too much, but for stuff like tanks of heavy water or such, it's definitely not passing up on the 25% or so better deals they have to offer imo.

Hmm guess I'll just wait for the normal scrap shop to have better prices for oxygen tanks and just stockpile them until then after all I rarely find full tanks so I can just fill existing tanks. Do licensed shops actually ever get to 100% of the market value you can see on items with the right skills or do they have a market limit of 50% or 75%? Cause so far I've only seen them around 30% of the displayed price when right clicking the item.

In my game, among the non too rare stuff that sells well, they want: thursters, coolers and nav stations.

Big buckeroos to be made on those too. Especially thursters, 1*2 footprint, big money, not hard to repair.
