Why is it that even if you sell an item that is completely trashed you get the same amount you would get if you sold it at 100% durability/condition? I think the amount you receive for selling said item should be altered based on the quality of the item.

Agreed. Could be something like:
sell-price = original-price * 0.6 * ( current-durability / original-duribility )

So if you have a Blood Eater (756,000 for a new one) which still has 150 dur left, the showroom would give you
756,000 * 0.6 * ( 150 / 1200 ) = 56,700 kudos for it.

If it's brand new however, it's worth: 756,000 * 0.6 * ( 1200 / 1200 ) = 453,600 kudos

This was also suggested in Bots][ and floR liked the idea but never got round to doing it (like so many things)

Err, is this really something people want? It would be very simple for me to add it, but it would add some extra work for players when replacing trashed equipment.

It will be annoying to camp for expensive stuff and not be able to replace items for effectively half the price anymore. I don't see why not though as everyone will get the same "nerf". Will make things more realistic.

It just makes no sense that an item with 0/0% dur/con is worth as much as a 4000/100% item.
And I don't like things that make no sense ;)

::::..:::.:....:::... floR's TO DO list

Priority ranges from 1-5, 1 being the most urgent.

Difficulty ranges range from 1-5, 1 being the easiest.

prio    diff       TO DO
2 2 Sell value, based on durability left.

It would make it harder trying to get more money from items that are useless.

Support +1

That 'diff' column always bothered me :P Things either have priority or they dont - who cares how hard they are.
But floR rather fixed a couple of 5/1 issues than one 1/2..

Condition should really be taken into account as well, so maybe this would be a better formula:

sell price = (original cost * 0.25 * condition) + (original cost * 0.50 * current durability / total durability)

Obviously condition is represented as a decimal. This would mean that an item with 0 durability and 100% condition is worth 25% of the original price, whilst a full durability 100% condition item would sell for 75% of the original price.

condition can easily be fixed though. Only takes a couple of kudos. Durability is a much more important factor.

By changing the 0.25 and 0.50 'modifiers' one can easily change the effect of condition and durability on sell price. Perhaps 0.20 and 0.60 then?

^ +1

If it is under let's say half, it should then take effect on the price. Otherwise it's stupid.

It's like in real life, "here's my truck, it's got no muffler, no transmission, no gas, no oil, no hub caps, no fenders, no front seats, no back seats, no front axle, no drive shaft, no carburetor, and 280,000 miles. It's still worth the $23,000 I payed for it originally, though."

Too bad the paint faded, I might actually be tempted to pay less.

Still support +1

You already pay for repairs every single time the item gets damaged so I think it's fair enough that you get half price back whenever you sell it.

In any case, I don't really see why this is such a big deal.

You pay for condition, not durability. Basically, it looks nice, but it's still gonna fall apart soon.
