Show an items "Sell value" not the "Buy value", as the "Value".

[ISAWHIM]

When displaying an items value, the item should show the "Sell Value", not the MSRP "Buy Value", which has ZERO correlation to the price which the item can be sold for.

 

General potential issue...

 

1: Some shops may offer higher or lower prices. (Not sure if that is true or not.) Knowing the estimated sell value, or "base-line sell value", is still fine.

 

2: Perks, such as merchant perks for higher selling values and lower buying values, will alter the items actual "Sell value". (This should be easy to detect, and would just be a bonus if it could be displayed.) Knowing the estimated sell value, or "base-line sell value", is still fine here too.

 

3: Ships, unlike items, require registration. The fee to register MAY or MAY NOT be impacted by the merchant perk, but the final sale prices MAY be... (Unsure of this.) This item may be nice to know the "sell value registered", in addition to the "sell value raw", as an evaluation of the ships worth. Since the sell value will NOT be correct, after paying the heavy registration fee, which may or may not be altered by the merchant perks.

 

4: Temp buffs will alter the "current perk". (This may need to be addressed, so it is not altering the sell value. Or, this should be indicated as a separate evaluation of value, to show that it is a temporary sell value.) Honestly, if the value was adjusted, with the buffs of medicine or armor, currently being used, it would not matter much, as all other items relative values will also be altered. The value just may not be there, at the time of sale, obviously, if the buffs have been removed.

 

NOTE: Some items are also incorrect and "rounded" to a minimum of 1 credit. I noticed many throwable items show as 1 credit, but actually sell for more. Some items seem to be, kindly, locked at a minimum of 1, since 0.01 is not a possible unit of change. Some items, for other reasons, do not seem to be a direct fraction of the listed "Buy price value". (There may be a seperate list for "Sell prices", as opposed to being a "formula" for sell-value. However, if that table is not accessible, by the MOD, then a quick estimate should be fine.)
