Any good marketplace investments right now?

[Zailplane]

I could see the Ju 388 J as a possibility, or am I wrong? What are your suggestions?

Not looking to spend that much.

"investment"? Can't see how that term would ever apply to a marketplace purchase.

Those are "entertainment value" consumables - almost like movie, or sports tickets.

AUBL probably best

The term investment is very broadly used and I forgive you for not knowing that. In the context of a steam discussion thread where the topics do not require you to be highly formal in your writing, I and many others would have no issues with using the term "investment" about a virtual item you purchase to the expectations of it having a higher value within a certain future compared to the value of when you purchased it. And I think everyone knows that an account with let's say an IS-7 is more worth than an account with nothing except reserve vehicles.

I am unaware of any way to sell an account that doesn't violate the TOS; and I don't know of any other way to sell vehicle.

It is strictly prohibited to sell accounts, and I respect that. But that still doesn't mean that an account can't rise in value... It's as simple as that. What you're trying to say is that all accounts are worthless since you cannot sell vehicles or the account itself, and that's also a fair perspective to have, but the point of the marketplace is to "invest" in vehicles to sell them later for a higher value to maybe buy new premiums that come out, or GE, anything you can buy with Gaijin coins basically.

You may have information I do not have. I thought we're only able to sell unused vehicle vouchers; and under the impression that once we redeem/use a voucher to obtain the vehicle itself - that's the end of any chance for any of us to sell/resell that vehicle.

No you are completely correct, you are only able to sell unused vehicle vouchers. But many people do not use the vouchers and therefore you can sell it later for a higher price in exchange for anything you can buy with Gaijin coins. That's what I would use the term "investing" for in War Thunder, sorry if it has seemed unclear.

i think hes referring to not redeeming the vehicles but just hanging on to them until they accrue more value, i for example bought multiple aubl's when they came out in the expectation that the value would go up and a smaller investment at that stage would pay for many more vehicles later
