VENDORS ARE BUGGED!

[mouse]

The economy is currently broken and vendors are not paying the proper amount.

When you go to sell item/s of ANY kind, place it into the sell window, RIGHT CLICK on the item then click off it in the sell menu. That should correct the sell price of items. (adding more items will reset the proper amount so you have to right click then off again)

EDIT; add the items you want to sell. Do the remove-right click. Then put ANY stackable item (grenades, bandages etc) then while the window is up to add the amount, click on the CONFIRM button and you will get the full amount

Seems fine to me without having to do that in fairness? Is this happening every time for you?

Yes, vendors are not paying the proper amount for items, you still get some money but it isnt sustainable with repairing gear. Its simple enough to click twice and be paid the correct amount for your items

They're applying a 10-25% tax on everything you sell even in pristine condition, which is logical and works just like it did in previous games. (By the way regular stalkers buy stuff off of you for much lower prices than regular traders, as we've also come to expect)

Using an exploit to get the full value price is the bug you should be raising awareness to instead.

Nobody that I have seen so far here and on reddit is denying that the economy and reward structure need readjustments but that doesn't make them bugged.

Doing missions that pay 800c when you take 3000c worth of armor damage and ammo used is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, you dont have to use this method, i still just hunt artifacts as i did in the previous games to make money

Pretty much, and artifact hunting does seem to be the way to go as far as making loads of cash quickly.

But what I'm saying is that they undertuned the economy (probably due to lack of proper testing), it is not in itself bugged.
What is a bug is this workaround/exploit some people have found to get around the applied tax on sellables. That's not meant to be there.

I had no damn idea i was getting boned this hard by the vendors. Just tossed a cracker shotgun into a vendor and it said 7582, right clicked on it and clicked away and it went up to 22452. Thanks for pointing this out!

That "tax" is not 10-25%. It shows you the full sale price in your menu for that condition and it gets knocked down 70%. They don't know how to apply the percentage. A 7500C should sell for minimum 5625C which would be exactly like the old games. They sell for 2600~.

If that's true then I retract my statement and admit I was wrong. So far I hadn't noticed things selling for that low compared to the stated price.

Stalker has always been this way, its had a tax like system depending on condition of things and what it is sold and to who its sold

Wait, sorry, upon checking that last notification I re-read your comment.

Do you mean that at 100% restored condition a 7500k item off the trader is worth 5625K when sold back to him? Because if so then that's correct and you'll see that 2600k on lower conditions.
You will never sell an item to a trader for its full stated (original) price.

The right clicking in the sell window is only visual, it doesn't actually give you the new amount listed.

You godsend, thank you. The economy just seems far too harsh as it stands. It seems it gives market value with no price cuts? But hey better than them taking 70% lol
