Where Should I Sell Ancient Bones?

[Herreken]

I'm guessing prices will be different depending on the type of economy the system has. Which systems will give me the most units for Ancient Bones?

[Adarynin]

You could take a screenshot of the price of the same item in different economies and compare before you sell. (I have to admit I never compared prices and never tried to remember the previous system’s asking price.) ...

I assume their prices are fixed globally, I just sell them wherever.

Instead of looking for best price give that time into finding more bones. And get salvaged modules too while you're on the ground. Better than bones is Salvaged scrap, 2x the price of bones more or less.

Buried Technology modules?

Would be cool if there was an DNA analyzer and you could recreate the creatures. Esentialy just make a random new animal to release upon a planet.

Buried Technology modules?

Salvage modules are basically like the ancient bones (except I think they are worth more, not 100% sure). If the planet has them it’ll be the same yellow icon as the bones.

Thanks, I'll be on the look out for those.

Generally, the time it takes to find the best price, is just lost time finding more stuff to sell. I usually just sell anything at the nearest location to where I am. Small settlement or one of the trade balls in the wild typically.

You might lose a few dollars...but you can free up inventory and pick up more stuff quick.

Unless you have a 48 slot hauler, it is hard to make trading work over multiple systems, unless you feel like you have plenty of time and like that sort of thing.

The Ancient Bone retailer, if you get to find enough parts you could rebuild full Dinosaurs and get to display them, oh wait that doesn't exist yet

Even better, imagine giving the Bone Retailer some Salvaged Scrap instead, and he could turn it into ROBOT DINOSAURS with FRIGGIN LASERBEAMS on the heads!!

Bring a gun for the scrap. They are protected

Keep your most valuable and sell the rest.

Units are worthless, so by having one, it becomes sort of like a trophy you can carry around.

When Units are "worthless", may you please define what you mean with "valuable"? :D

Space stations have the worst prices.
Prices will be best for you the further away you are from space stations, and NPC's offer better prices than trade terminals, except in space stations.
System wealth and economy type is only relevant for Trading products which are listed first in the trade terminals.
Ressources etc. will vary at random within a small margin everywhere.
For high-value items like treasure relics, stormy crystals etc. it's really worth comparing the different NPC's until you find a good price.

I'm obviously referring to the unit-cost of the item. If you sell the item, you get units, which are worthless. At least by not selling the item, you can say you own the item worth that many units instead.

It is like having a high score for treasure hunting.
