Omega Update - Rare items

So I have mixed feelings about the update. My main issue is that even after using £7.99 of my hard earned cash to buy 550 Simcash to speed up the Omega Lab and Omega Research centre, I'm finding that...

The one thing that really and I mean really bugs me about Omega is the disparity between the price offered to buy your items when a bubble appears and the cost if you were to buy one from the neomall. It is in some instances nearly 20 times more expensive to buy than to sell! Shocking, just shocking.

Absolutely, and the more you buy an item, say a gold cheetah, the higher the cost for your next one. There was a gold cheetah for sale in mine that was for 14,000 neo-sims!!! 

I'm currently 55/55 on my neo storage, I have 15 hoverboards that just won't go, I don't need them as I'm saving for both neo-bank increase (to 60,000) and neo storage increase (to 60) and neither is asking for the hoverboards and so called other mayor's aren't requesting them either, so I'm stuck with them.

Please can we have a way to sell unwanted Neo items, like the Global trade HQ? Surely EA can add that?

Come on EA, sort it out plEAse.

    Just be patient! Before you know it, hover boards will be the chosen item and you won't be able to get enough of them. It seems like it rotates, right now for me it's the cryogenic chamber. At one point last week, I needed 7 to upgrade all 5 of my omegas. It's like EA purposely holds back a different item each week to make it more challenging. That's only a theory, the fact is that every mayor is chasing the same items to increase storage and bank capacities at the same level. So if you are at the 5th upgrade level for storage and it is requiring 5 items each, every single mayor trying to upgrade their storage at your level is trying to acquire the same items. However, knowing this does not help you acquire the needed items, just maybe reduces the frustration level..

      I don't think that's how it works, it's hardly like there is a finite amount of a particular item available at anyone time, for each mayor/city. The game is fixed to force people into paying for Simcash, pure and simple... if you can't see that then you're being conned without realising.

        No, that is how it works because I verified it with other players. We were all at the same upgrade level & what was required was identical for each of us. I don't know how EA distributes the available pieces but my point was you have multiple players chasing the same items. So my comments are based on facts, your theory seems to be speculation or opinion

        All of you people who constantly complain about EA forcing us to spend money is getting old. They are a for profit company so they generate their income through gaming. If that's a problem you shouldn't play. if you believe they are doing something wrong in order to separate us from our hard earned cash, then you are too paranoid

        Have fun
