is it worth to sell maxed mods (aka endo) for platinum?

[MR.hyde]

for example i sell a maxed vital sense for 15 platinum and i am happy abt it. however someone told me "u can never hv enough endo!" and maxing the mod costs like 1k endo, i hv still around 55k endo however i sell many mods and the endo count shrinks and now i am worried that its not worth selling the mod (or better the endo) for platinum.

opinions?

If a mod is crappy and you have hundreds of it then in my opinion it's better to change it to endo, or if you are really short on credits and don't want to bother with index - sell them for credits.
1k endo is nothing. You can quickly get that, so no worries.
Late game when you'll be playing arbitrations you'll be spammed with endo to the point where you need more credits to max some of your mods instead of endo.
Keep in mind some mods require around 30k endo to max.

Nah these aren't quests. It's a gamemode where you play for the longest time you can. It's unlocked after clearing the whole star chart.

I have enough with no more mods to max and truck load of ayatan sculptures in storage. So that person was clearly wrong. Act according to situation: if you need platinum more than endo - sell maxed mods, if you need endo more than plat - slow down on selling maxed mods. Although, endo can be farmed with ease. Trading maxed primed mods is quite a thing in the game, so this practice is not something unheard of.

I thought you could only trade unranked mods?

Thats only true for weapons.
Selling Endo is a prime source of plat among older players.
Also because it usually goes along well with selling primed mods ;)

Max primed mods! Just one of them-and here comes my new vanity outfit.
If i would have some left to buy :D

The general rule of thumb is that, unless the mod has 10 ranks, it's not really worth any more maxed than it is unranked, due to how little it takes to max a 3 or 5 rank mod. Sure, you can occasionally find people who don't know any better, but generally the informed buyer won't be looking to spend extra for a mod that's only had a few hundred Endo put into it. The 10-rank mods, on the other hand, can sell for quite a bit extra when maxed vs. unranked. Plentiful as Endo is, 40,000 of it is still quite a sum for those who rarely do Arbitrations, which is why a maxed vault mod or even Vitality can go for 100+ plat.

Not true, have sold ranked up mods myself

I once sold a maxed primed mod (Continuity, I think) for 200P but it took a long time to find a buyer. Some players are willing to throw platinum around but most aren't so don't expect to make quick plat this way. Those people with the platinum to spend probably already have 99% of the mods. Corrupted mods are always in demand just because they're awkward to get and useful in every build.

Selling sculptures can be a good source of platinum, too. Filled Anasa generally sell for 12P each. Check warframe.market to get an idea of how much various things will sell for and don't be greedy with your prices.

if its one of those really common mods, then just sell for endo. However if its one of those really rare mods like Adaptation or even a maxed prime mod, then definitely sell it for plat.

Not true.
Well, depends on the mod as well. But as a rule of thumb: If the mod is worth selling at all in unranked version, then maxing it will yield more plat.
Because: Whoever will buy a mod anyways is usually very willing to spend a few plat more to also have it combat ready immediately.

Last time i did that was with Buzzkill (rank 5). Not the most expensive mod to begin with but worth trading. In maxed version it was selling like shotguns during a zombie apocalypse.

agreed, i think peeps forget (or r to lazy) to switch between maxed and unmaxed mods when shopping xD

[Yuki]

I actually had both, ranked and unranked (cheaper) on sale. I tent to farm their source for other things occasionally, or while helping clan mates there :D
So thats been well over a dozen. And even though buzz kill is quite cheap compared to my usual wares, if i get into the range of dozens of them in stock i just put them visible again to get rid of a few.
They where explicitely asking for the maxed version, so many i had to get the unranked ones ranked to keep up. Within 15 minutes.

I doubt its lazyness of switching, its "if i can buy it maxed, why not?". Even though granted maxing a dozen Buzz Kills is not an issue - IF you are well equipped already. For most of my customers given their MR it surely had spared them at least an hour or so.
Some of them even asked for other similar MAXed mods as well, like sweeping serration. Which of course i had given its the same source, and quickly maxed those as well. Bulk sales ftw!
This then quickly grows from "Hmm i may sell a few in between with these 5 trades left before reset" to "thats a tasty business opportunity".
