user id # has to be worth something too.
skills too.
career maybe.
weapons could be set to cash at half of store price.
Uniques are on a case by case basis.

interesting concept to think about, with the thread. but your computation regarding END is quite low.

Cash has much more worth than endurance. Endurance is forever going to be that, cash is liquid. Thus my figuring endurance lost half its value or so, when converted back to credits and valued as such.

kinda how gangs were never worth the cash put into them as slots.

whats the purpose of cash in this game?

Perhaps the value of end should increase with each level. What is it, 100 bux to go from 20 to 21 end. Perhaps 15 for 11 end 17 for 12 and so on

Thus the value is by the points in it, after 10 (which i believe is the max you can get for free) is by the thousand.

Cash is liquid, you can use it for anything. You can use it to buy endurance (credits) or intel or housing, stims, uniques, etc. Once it is in endurance, you can't use it for anything else. Thus, its not worth it's face value in credits. 1000 dev points would cost about $3m at 750 a credit. Perhaps $20 per 1000 dev points in endurance over level 10.

What value would you place on my character..?? End 35.
As Conrad insinuated cash is worthless once you get to the higher levels, nothing left to buy for a lot of players.

this is true. and theres a lot of truth in what inpace is saying. but my point was that the point of cash...and everything else (creds, housing, weapons, etc.), is to get tougher so you can beat people's ass and defend yourself. therefore, END should have a higher value in his calculation bc END accounts for such an expense. the cost / worth of reaching 35 END should be more than $15 per 1000 dps, bc everything centers around END in the end. its all worthless without high END for training. see how far you get with $50,000,000 level 60, with 8 Endurance forever.

agreed. it can take a couple of hundred to get from 18-21 edu. so I would imagine getting to 35 would be closer to 500 dollers from 34-35.

BUT
this is just for fun really

endurance 35, 70,000 dev points, would equate to.... $1400 @ 20/1000 and 1050 at 15/1000. If you bought every credit used for endurance with RL cash, it would cost $2500 USD.

Keep in mind, $1400 would give you 40,000 endurance points if you just bought the credits using RL cash. If you bought credits when they were in the realm of 300 per and pumped them into endu, your investment has paid dividends.

The point in selling an account is that someone is getting more faster than if they did it themselves. 35 endu would give ridiculous trains with the 80 mil house. In the realm of 4 dev points per energy, if I am correct in my math. Before trainers might I add.

Those trained dev points were a result of cash (housing) and endurance, and lend themselves their own value in terms of account value.

At the end of the day though, that account you quote conrad would be worth less than Mac's. If I had the cash on hand, and made a value on that account, assuming stats were in the high 90s, skills were good, and items were good., I'd say about $800. Then again, if I had the money to blow on a PBBG account, dumping the cash into that account to get the endurance up would be the second thing I did. Would take all of another $500 to make that account a top 20 contender, assuming activity was good enough to break out the trains.

Stats way higher than 90s bro. My moms are in the 90s and better i believe

they will be around 140-150 main stats.

[filthymick]

But does that include borgs?

Also, i feel the cost to get to the top right away should cost substantially more than what itcost the owner of the account to do so. Time and effort have value as well
