Apologies, but is there a Endo to Plat conversion thing?

[Jet]

Sorry to bring a trading question here, but no one else anywhere can give me a good answer. I've been trying to sell Ayatan scupltures, but they are reasonable hard to obtain so I can't sell them for less than they are worth.
The issue is, I keep getting wildly varying prices for how much they are worth, which I assume is dependent on the endo found within. The wf.market is no help since the prices range from one scuplture being worth 10 plat to 10 sculptures being worth 1 plat, and that's not factoring in the insane mass troll orders.
My question is, is there any way to guesstimate how much endo one plat is worth? If I knew that, I could shoot for a decent price.

Pricing is mostly fluid, based on supply and demand. Price usually goes up when new mods are introduced and drop when people find a new effective endo farm.

Ayatan Anasa are the most common to trade, since they are common sortie rewards.
I haven't been following/watching trade chat recently but Warframe market seems a bit low with pricing at 10p filled which is for 3450 endo.

So according to that data point 1p = 345 endo.

You can also use Legendary Fusion Cores as another guideline.
90 day Historical pricing is ~100-120p.
Ranking up a Legendary Mod costs ~41k endo and ~2mil credits.

So just going by endo value, that is 1p = 340-410 endo.

So I would ballpark it like this:
1p = ~300endo (favors seller)
1p = ~350endo (fair-ish)
1p = ~400endo (favors the buyer)

got it. Though at this point I might just scrap all the sculptures since no one actually seems to want them.

How much does this happen?
I've never sold stuff yet, just buy/trade stuff

Actually, I saw a few times people wanting to buy dozens of fully inserted sculptures and would pay with plat on trade chat.
They probably had more plat than endo

The differences stem from them usually not being worth it in the first place.
The point is endo DOES have a plat price, but its mainly dictated by: The Legendary Core.
Thats 40920 endo right there, usually about 120 platin.

If you take that and break it down for sculptures its..difficult, weird and there are more factors to put in. Like effort, and trades.
Getting enough sculptures to make up for a LC means a LOT of trades. And trading itself has kind of a "effort fee" (~5p for most people, e.g. thats why most mods aint available below. Their trades are more a community service). In the end sculptures are rarely worth it, UNLESS-
You trade them in mass quantities. And full. Even with 30 trades i wont buy a single ayatan anasa from someone unless im really just missing the last few k to fill another mod.

And thats why some put something like "price for an empty sculpture is for a set of 6" in their profile (similar goes for fishes btw).
And that are the ones that actually sell stuff. Lots of.
And then there are those who just see the price, not the message those people wrote in their profile, and then try to sell their sculptures for "6 times the price". And some others who do not trade sculptures often may even buy it. But...thats kind of niche and quite chaotic too, hence the described differences.

Source: The folks i run arbitrations with and: Me. Trading ever since we could. Endo thereby was and is one of my main goods (before endo it was fused mods and cores, similar approach though). With about 1-3k plat per week, depending on my activity level. Wanna buy some R10 primed mods? Or full <put in any golden here> :D ?

Wrong actually. Or kind of.
Anasa are the most common some new people TRY to sell. And then do for an often bad rate. Because they are indeed the >largest< easily available.
However: Talking about most common to trade, in mass of goods and trading actions, its Orta. Because Arbitrations.
People running Arbi's efficiently and regularily can bury you under their mountains of Orta.
Having hundreds or even thousands of those is no exaggeration for such people. So many that we often sell them empty to Maroo for endo directly.

I just traded Orta for Orta because of this!
If you see someone buying and selling huge quantities of "endo stuff" thats what you can ask- we are often very well willing to trade empty sculptures and even plat for stars.
The way that works is- sell you a few sculptures first. Then trade more empty sculptures for those you filled and pay back the plat you spend (save way, if you know them chances are you even get the first batch of empties for free anyways)
I have several people that return every now and then to trade a part of their surplus stars for empty sculptures they would need. Often people "in the mid level", e.g. still leveling their syndicates too, which often provides a huge number of stars. While i can not even remotely possibly gather enough stars to fill all the Orta's Arbitrations shower me with.

There are only six slots for a trade. But each slot can hold several stars - if they are within a sculpture ;)

TLDR: If you try to sell sculptures, try to read the profile messages of buyers and/or sell them in a batch of 6 (filled), so have at least six at hand. That way you can get a good price and sell them quite quickly usually. Yes people are willing to pay that one more plat per sculpture if they can get six in one trade.

Dude, it is 2:1 for Filled Anasa vs all Orta. Not even close volume wise.

Babe, thats only in that "nebulous newbie section" as mentioned.
Mass trades aint tracked, especially since they usually happen by buy orders not sell, and those are seldom updated, hence not tracked.
Just look at the offers of huge volume traders and you will see.

I sold all my sculptures for 5 plat each, which according to the calculations was fairly decent. Would have bartered but there was only one other sapient being in the trade chat so I didn't have options.
