GBM and M?

[Gabby Newsome]

Hello fellow spacefarers! It’s Gabby Newsome bringing you the News You Can Use that will have your trade engines humming!

Calling all hoarders, collectors, and anyone who’s ever gotten stuck needing that one specific doohickey! Are you tired of shouting into the void of the Trade channel for Festive Gifts or that elusive High Tech Loot? Well, fret no more! The Galactic Buyers Market (GBM) is expanding its horizons.

According to the latest whispers, the GBM is set to allow trading of Miscellaneous items in addition to the usual resources. Now, there are still details being hammered out – those pesky devils hiding as always – but mark your star charts, folks, because this is a game-changer coming soon!

Imagine this, prospectors: You’re on the hunt for that rare combat stimpak to complete your medkit. Instead of scouring the fringes of the Trade channel, you’ll be able to put out a specific request through the GBM, just like you currently do for resources. This opens up a whole new level of trade possibilities! We’re talking about everything from those mysterious Alien Containers to the ever-valuable U.A. Minerals.

Hold onto your spacesuits, because the list goes on! Mech parts you scavenged from your latest bot brawl? Up for grabs. That snazzy new personal loadout item you accidentally bought two of? Someone else might be missing it dearly. Even the seemingly useless Space Debris, Data Modules, and those pesky Locked Crates you keep accumulating – they’ll all have a chance to find a new home.

Of course, with any new market comes a few regulations. The GBM is still finalizing minimum pricing and a few other details, but most likely, tradable items will need to be stored securely in your settlement, just like your current GBM transactions.

So, start prepping your trade holds, spacefarers! The GBM is about to become a one-stop shop for all your in-demand goods. This is Gabby Newsome, signing off. Stay tuned for further updates, and remember – fly safe, and trade smart!
