I know I said it a number of times: I really expect at least a mission or two out of SQ42 this year as a teaser, with release of SQ42 next year (summer maybe)? And I'm thinking we'll enter beta by the end of next year with full release in 2018. That said, my 'oh-poo poo' moment will likely be observation of progress by end of Q2 next year: if procedural tech, netcode and and other gameplay mechanics aren't more refined at that point, it's probably too far past a salvage point. Then again, I fully expect the grey-market to still be a viable alternative to offload most of my assets, even by Summer of next year.

Also, procedural tech is nowhere near ready, netcode doesn't look like it'll improve greatly. It certainly isn't approaching MMO-levels of fidelity and, uh, 'other game mechanics' is not only vague but sets a neat line in the sand that one can easily backpedal from immediately.

Grey market is a sellers market at the moment. The grey market even existing is hilarious as gently caress.

Options

1. People having a lot of buyer's remorse and want to offload them for less than price.

2. Streamers/employees offloading under the table 'payments'

3. Stolen credit card fraud and extracting what cash they can.

All good for Star Citizen.

You got it right, I got it wrong.

Large amount of inventory for barely more than RSI charges (fees, etc). 400% seems an unlikely margin for the ship-heavy portfolio at the moment.

I suspect there's a certain amount of laundering going on because otherwise there's a lot of people simply flipping tumbrils for less than they paid for. I'm not saying that there isn't some elegant reasoning for it, but it's not 'making a profit'.

Yes, at the moment the best way to get your money back is to just ask for a refund(tm). Grey market is just for suckers who still want in, and for those who somehow got a seriously discounted item in the first place and can still make a buck under CIG prices.
