Ok, first of all, the 9999999 thing is so that the vendor can post
acomment. Read the description of the item to see what the vendor wants
you to know. Only an idiot would buy a cdef weapon for that amount
(although I have been tempted to freak them out heh)
Prices change as time goes along and devs change the game. Most people
(but not all) are not out to cheat you. If a friend offers you money for
an item, my experience is that they are doing *you* a favor, and can
afford it.
Best way to get a feel for how much to ask for, is to go to the trade
formus. I don't know what galaxie you are on, but on the left side of
the main Star Wars Galaxies webpage is a link to various forums,
including trade. The expert traders are there, who keep up with the
supply and demand better than you or I can ever, and any cheaters are
usualy outed quickly. Do a search on the item and compare prices. For
example, your speed 6 armor attachment is medium price range, probably
50k per point (ballpark figure). If you don't trust your friends, or
have none who need it, put it up on the trade forum on your server and
wee who wants it.
btw, the trade forums are hit and miss. Depends on if a person who wants
it sees your ad. Follow your server customs if you like, usually posted
at the top of the first page.
