Re: Bearings Selling for $98?

I don't think bearings ever sold for $1000 - that is normal price for blue materials specific for a given part (block, bead wire etc.), but common materials always sold for almost nothing (including the battery). Probably so that you sell them only when having 20+ and full garage, otherwise best option is to keep them.

    Since the last update the prices are now screwy.  Some blue parts are still selling for $1050 but some are selling for $98.  I just checked some other prices and noticed grey parts are now selling for less than before.

    Another freaking mystery to me.

  • @ruf997tt Bearings are a type of generic material, meaning they can be installed in many parts. Non-generic material like engine blocks for example, can only be installed into an engine.

    There has always been a large price difference between generic and non-generic materials.

    And now bead wire is selling for $96!  Bearings are still $98.  All other blue parts are $1050, all green parts are $263, and grey parts are $175.

    I wonder if it has something to do with how many you sell or have even collected.

  • Well, not all the blue materials have the same prize, the useful ones you can sell really cheap, which ones are those useful, check your inventory and you can realize that from the common ones you have plenty of them and the useful ones probably 1-2 or none at all.

    For example, the battery is difficult to get and you can sell for nothing but the others purple parts you can sell for more than 1k because are easy to win.

    Gray parts useful: fuse and mounts was difficult to get at the beginning when upgrade my Subaru BRZ, now have plenty of them.

    Green parts useful: relay and gasket.

    Blue parts useful: bearing, hose and bead wire.

    Purple parts useful: battery, battery and f$-&: difficult to get battery.

    Yellow parts can sell for the same amount because all of them are easy to get in Turner Trials (if you have the Viper).

    Happy racing!!

    My point being that at some point the selling price must change because up until this point for me all colored parts sold for the same price within their respective colors.  Now some parts within a color range are selling for much less than they originally sold for.  I am curious as to why or when or how it happens.  I am not disputing that the parts are selling cheaper, I just want to know what triggers it.

    Thanks.

  • as long as the games been out generic materials have always been sold for a lower amount. it is likely that you never attempted to sell a generic material before, because most of the time they will always fit in one of the parts you have. Otherwise you may have never noticed before.

    Edit: changed to the word "material" to avoid confusion between parts and materials.
