My spawn used be right on the edge of a cliff. I hated the spawn, but loved the camp location. After seeing this I moved the spawn and it's amazing. Such a great tip.
I've only recently gotten into Player Vending and I've been playing F76 since launch. I love visiting people's CAMPs. Some are atrocious boxes of wood, others are very creative and unique. Some items are ridiculously expensive or completely unappealing, then I'll find an amazing 3-Star weapon for under 1k. It's such a gamble that it's addicting. It's easily my favorite part of the game now.
I've always loved the camp building aspect of both fallout 4 and 76. But the more items they introduce in the atomic shop, the more money I sink into my camp, and the more often I have to redo the layout! I just wish that they would increase the camp size, both in radius and budget!
Holy shit, even i had no idea you could change your camps fast travel spot, now i no longer spawn directly inside the damn mountain i live on, cheers lone
This is the 1st video I've seen that shows what segment of the video you're watching using the tracking bar. 'introduction', 'general tips'... That's pretty cool.
WTF. i’ve had a vending machine up for months with zero sales. I follow this guide, i sell 10 items in one playthrough. Great tips. I’ve been doing everything wrong hahahah
I completely agree with your ammo costs, I play stealth commando so I burn through bullets. If 5.56 or 45 rounds are more than 1 cap, I generally don’t look at anything else. Your serums are a good price, people tend to gouge on them. PVP players love Chameleon pieces and Nuka Cola Quantum, so I sell those. It’s funny, the only time I’ve seen a cyrolater is to grief me, so I refuse to sell those. I tend to put low level or mid game items very cheap (if I don’t just give them away when I encounter lower levels) cuz I’ve been gifted many things by higher players myself. You’re right, prices can vary wildly, some vendors absolutely gouge and others are reasonable... it’s a crap shoot. Another drawback you mentioned is storage budget... I’m always right up against it (like everyone not on Fallout First) and trying to keep my carry weight down. Stimpacks are heavy in camp, and weigh nothing on me due to traveling Pharmacy... same with Nuka Colas and Booze with Thru Hiker (or Grocer’s backpack). Inventory management is one of my least favorite aspects of the game.
This game is sick! I had zero interest in crafting and building a camp. But I had so much junk that I needed to use it or lose it. So now I'm building a bed and breakfast and convenience store with all the amenities near the top of the world. There's going to be a deck in the back for 3 separate bed rooms. But now I need more junk to build a building design to sell my junk. The gameplay loop is addictive.
Sathlas Dalarayni Dridlen Dardeldreth III never sell ammo for 2 caps a piece 50 call is super easy to make and you can use that stuff very quickly not worth spending more then 1
I remember when vending machines came out for the the first time and sold a few legacy weapon like the two shoot explosive flamer for like 500 caps, dude wish I knew how expensive and rare this type of weapons will become :(
Thanks so much for this rundown. As a new player of four weeks I didn't know what the game recommended caps amount at the bottom of the screen referenced. It is so nice having a rough guideline of what to put my items for sale at and I can tweak it as time goes on based on how much weight I have left in my stash.

Putting your base in the middle of the map makes it easy and cheap to visit. It also makes it much cheaper fast travel across the map if you use your base as a stopover. Weapons and armor.are generally the higher prices items in a vendor. The video didn't spend enough time discussing the good and bad legendary effects. It gave a quick rundown of the best main effects but ignored the 2nd and 3rd star entirely, (how do you not at least mention Explosive) Some of the last 3 star effects are crap like increased Bashing Damage but others can become part integral part of many players character build, (Strength, Ammo or Weapon Weight Reduction). You have to know what effects are desirable and what aren't to set your prices. I loved that I can move the spawn point by moving the CAMP.
In my experience, prices are all over the place. The super reactor plans are a good example. I've seen people selling it for max & I've seen others selling it for mere hundreds. It really sucks when you find someone selling it cheap but you're broke & they log out before you can scrape together enough caps.
Ha ha to right I saw 10 mill amo 4 10 caps the other day they also had a 3 star wepon 4 20000 caps can't remember what it was now. I just sell chems at my camp some rare chems go 4 about 20 caps common chems about 5 when ppl do stop by they often clean me out
Good vid sir! I can confirm every bit of what he said. I’ve generally had the best luck selling legendary and rarer items I don’t want at half off and below while I’m busy questing. While you’re off doing things it gives your shop time to be browsed. Chances are team mates and party members will want to check your wares. And players can’t buy your stuff if you keep server hopping and moving your camp constantly. Be patient. Also, don’t get overly stingy with prices or attached into thinking you got super special items that nobody else has. I promise you theres a dozen or so players selling better for even less. I literally couldn’t even use a quarter of what I pick up even if I wanted to myself, so don’t be afraid to have a discount on good items. There is always more to be found easily. While off doing other things I’ll usually pick up more legendary items to restock while players are buying the stuff I just stocked with. Not always but usually. Make sure it’s good stuff thats priced reasonably. Nobody wants to buy a regular level 5 walking cane for $500 caps. Come on now. Don’t be ridiculous with your pricing. Plans you already know and their duplicates are also good for putting on sale as the NPC vendors are a rip off when it comes to plans. You can pick up a plan a player is selling for $100 caps while the vendor sells it for $1K and up. Other players know this and are for sure looking for plans way below what the NPCs sell them for. If you mark good items even at just 10% of what the NPCs sell them for, that’s a win win. The only other thing you need is a wacky waving inflatable tube guy or something like that and you’re good to go 👍🏻
"Ive seen 1 star junkie weapons sell for 1000 to 2000 caps each" Oh this makes alot of sense why my 100-200 cap junkie weapons sell so fast.... I wonder how many of my items were bought just to be resold lol
@@kyerogers7838 soon as u get at the point with 1 shot kill weapons with that commando build, u pick up every weapon and unless its a b2525/be25 u wont even try to sell it more than scrap value.... so my take for that shotty is 50caps. 2star 150caps 3star 400caps. but if u want to push it and make that 1star worth something its like this 2,5k Bloodied ''Good guns'' handmade etc. 1.5k Submachines and other eeh its ok but i wouldnt use coz ammo runs out so fast... 1k for shotguns > They are bad even with bloodied explosive (in my oppinion)
@@qNepo I have normal double barrel shotgun and without any shotgun perks (I don't have a specific build I just choose different perks) it's overpowered
Thank you so much, the camp price tips were useful but the camp spawn tip is going to help me so much, currently I spawn in a lake that 60% of the time gives me a disease so now that I can finally spawn on land it will help a lot
Such an informative video! Covered exactly what I was looking for. I went from making no sales to completely selling out! Once you had put it into perspective that if Im happy to buy it for that price then that’s a good sign, I had a lot less anxiety with setting prices! Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video.
My biggest & most consistent seller in my vendors has always been selling Bulk Junk items for pretty low costs, ammo @ 1 each, Bobbleheads/mags/misc random stuffs!! I personally love finding the unique stuff &/or random items in other's vendors. PSA: DON'T MAKE YOUR VENDORS HARD TO FIND OR GET TO!!!
I live on the edge of Morgantown, next the bridge and stream south West of the town. Its a 1600s style colonial house, pretty much the center of the map North East of Arktos. Water 2 caps, gas masks 5 caps. Ultracite plans around 30 to 50 caps, ammo 1 cap.
@@LoneVaultWanderer it is a TRAPPER armor. Even if it has a good legendary effects, i don't think players who have that much caps have any more need for such armor (i mean players who play so much as to make that much caps, probably also have plenty of similar value legendaries and better ones for themselves. Players who would have use for such armor just usually can't afford such price. At least that is what i think.
Don't forget to power one of the vending machines. Although it may be a simple tip, it was one i missed for about 3 weeks when i was new to the game. Without it, you will not get the V, but a normal camp symbol.
Tip for changing your spawn location was the best part of this video imo. You said it so matter-of-factly but this was not a well-known fact. You just saved me from tearing down my camp to move it so I stopped spawning inside rocks.
Someone bought most of my 308 last night for over 1k caps... Thats the most I've had so far at lvl 36! So awesome! Also when im over weight I usually just find a low level player and give it to them and they usually help me in some way. Made a few friends that way.
The biggest tip I can give you is this. Sell ammo and Scrap for ridiculously low prices. Most high level players will buy in bulk if the price is low enough. And lower leveled players can still purchase stuff too. You can easily rack up 1000's of caps this way if you have the supplies to sell.
Amazing video! Very good quality! Personally since I am good at organizing my stash so i have alot of room, I can afford to set the prices higher and then lower them later if needed.
Automatic instigating is actually insane as the double damage is on each shot that leaves the gun while the enemy is at full health that gets the benefit.
I honestly stopped putting ammo in my stash box. It is amazing how much space ammo can take up. Lately I've just been randomly placing ammo into random containers around the wasteland.
Great video and thanks for the advice..... I tend to be quite generous and cheap with the things i sell, even if it is rare or highly sort after as well as going by the the rule of setting prices on things that i would pay for it and not have it to ridisculous.
Bro, this guide is amazing, you are very pedagogic. If anything I sould just suggest that you spend like 5 or 10 seconds explaining what can you sell the items for, when you don't sell them for caps
Great video, loved the vendor tips, but as others have said, the camp spawn tip was great. That needs to be a video so people can easily find that info.
I generally sell aid items for 5-10 cap higher than what I could get from NPC vendors. With plans I take the suggested price and truncate the last(500=50).
First off, great info! I really like the idea of moving the camp to pick the spawn. I feel dumb for not thinking of that. One thing I was thinking about is how I’ve stumbled on multiple bloodied 2 & 3 star handmades & combat rifles, and plenty of junkies weapons selling for incredibly cheap. In the case of my crit damage up, bloodied combat rifle, I spent 1000 caps on it. Some people have no idea the value of the items they have. I found those at the least vendor optimized camps. I think it’s very much worth spending some time looking at those camps also.
I'm a newbie, installed the game a week ago and this was very helpfull. Especially the spawn point, i thought is based on how much you build and where, seems i was terribly wrong 🤣 thank you!
Good video. A couple quick tips tho. Fed76(the discord price check tool) is a great tool to use to find starting prices. Secondly, camp plans are mostly extremely easy to get. People buy them simply because they don't have them, they're not looking for a deal, they just don't want to get ripped off. The base prices of 100-150 on these is perfect and you don't have to sweat your brain haggling with the price. Just learn to recognize the few that are actually rare. Lastly, don't waste time/money/stash space on Ultracite PA plans, you get the whole set for free eventually and the mods only come from SBQ, and those are what you'll be struggling to get.
"You want to make your base enticing" Me: *visits New Gad, teleports back to my camp, fills my vendor with short hunting rifles. Rubs hands together evily*
Ironically, I built a base outside New Gad with a theme. Its a Fort with huge cement walls. Once people walk in, they’re greeted with a sign that says “Support the fight against New Gad Commies. Buy my goods.” That sign alone has gotten me a lot of money. 😂
@@gonozal8_962 you gotta get the plans for the letters, then make your own signs after you’ve learned the plans. You can get plans at vendors and doing missions.
Thanks for this episode! It was very insightful, I took your advice and applied it but slightly modified it. I found location was key. I sell alot of low level ammo, mods and needed chems at reasonably low or rather cheap prices. It's really help add to my cap gain while more importantly helping new players by equipping them with needed things at a cheap price. Love your channel and look forward to more videos. Thanks again
I clicked the video thinking "ok, you can't recommend prices dude" LVW: "pricing is utterly subjective" Also LVW: "oh and you can move your camp spawn!" Me: "TF YOU SAY!?"
The method I use is these 2 formulas: Standard pricing is 10% discount (the vendor bots purchase for less even with the perk and max charisma) for fusion cores I take the remaining power (treated as percentage) then multiply it by 1.62.
I would just drop them at that rate. If you aren't getting anything out of it why even waste time to assign it a sale slot for zero caps? Just seems counterproductive but whatever man you do you.
I’ve been able to sell Fasnacht plans for a thousand caps a piece. I bought a bunch of plans for under 100 caps, hoping for a good return on investment. So far, so good.
I personally dont care for fast travel costs. Its pennies. Love seeing peoples camps anyway so its worth it. Great video bud thanks. Also if anyone complains about your high prices dont pay attention. Someone told me that my 3* handmade was too high at 12k caps and messaged me stating his anger. I just put "lol" then he bought it 5 mins later.
I put my camp on the mountain right next to the rusty pick!! People thst fast travel to the outside see my huge lit up camp on the hill im the distance, always getting people visiting! Since rusty pick is the only place you can buy legendary rolls with scrip(: great location!!
Definitely some useful vending info. A video on things you'd like to see improve with f76 would be nice. I think f76 has come a long way but there are still things like weapon balancing I feel need to be addressed. Keep up the great work Lone
Thanks @final render, i always wondered about that. I wish you could sell the fo76 merch you get from bethesda in your vending machines...lol. Great videos. Thanks again.
about bulked junk, its probably how i make the most of my caps, maybe tied with ammo. i rarely put bulked adhesive up for more than 30c each, and then lower value for most others. with the exceptions of lead and acid. they go for 30 as well.
When it comes to duplicate plans and recipes I just fast travel to 76 and drop them outside the vault door. Let it be a nice surprise for the next emerging dweller
*PSA: three-star weapons are not automatically worth 5k+ caps just because they're three-stars* I keep seeing people (usually lvl 200+, I play on Xbox One) selling garbage like: -- Shovel: Increased damage to scorched Weighs less More damage for standing still 12k caps -- Or -- Board: More damage to humans Better vats hit chance Higher swing speed 18k caps -- And you'll see that their entire vendor is like that. Like wtf lmao Occasionally you'll see something decent but it's usually not anywhere near a god roll and these dudes are asking for 25k
Chris W rare enough I’ve never seen one for sale. Things may have changed but at one time they were dang near impossible to find. Made finishing the Chemistry Possum badge all but impossible.
I find that parking near Whitespring is effective in getting traffic. While it's not a free location, it's sufficiently high traffic that people are going to be there anyway.
"Serums typically go 300 to 700" someone needs to tell these jackoffs i find selling them for 1.5-3k I typically take the base in game value (the number the game says an items worth) & knock a zero off the end. Say it says its worth 100, i sell it for 10. The only exception for me is ballistic ammo is 1 cap & legendaries, 1k per star unless ive put them on a marketplace & i get a bidding war
Lol forgot to say this the other day and i'm not sure how many new people will be reading these comments but I recommend selling any ultracite plan for max 50 caps if you are doing queen runs often, They really don't sell that often and I've always had them at 50 or less. the jet packs I usually put for ~100 caps.
Also use the public teams, people can fast travel too you for free when they join your team. It's a good way to bring people to your shop. Free travel is always a bonus
I actually look for camps near places I don't have marked yet for now while I'm still new. Or close to quest markers near quests that jump further out from previous quests. Probably shouldn't and just walk it to mark more and stuff
The only things I sell are ammo I can't use in the converter & skill magazines. Ammo is priced ~50% off & skill magazines are 10 caps. The most important thing to remember is don't overprice your items. Nobody wants to buy a Chally the Moo-Moo backpack plan at a 500% mark-up.
I sell serums for 150, 3* legendary weapons are sold for no greater than 10k based on demand. Legendary Armor is practically worthless now with SS being added. Fully charged fusion cores can be obtained through the power plants, so if I sell them, they're 10 caps each. Plans are variable depending on rarity and what they're for. Treasure maps are free. I sell cheap because I don't spend my caps.
I leave dirty drinking water and spoiled veggies for free as well as a couple purified water and low level weapons for the new players. I came across it myself as a new player and it helped me allot starting off so now i pay it forward.
As a new player I bounce around from shops looking for plans. Ill buy if its 200 or less unless it's clearly something i have not seen like weapon plans. I sell extras I get for 25-100. Serums I will buy extras for 250 but sometimes see for 500. I personally set my camp under a cliff near an event. So anytime the event goes my place is the closest workshop. People visit to break stuff down or repair and they always check my shop. Ammo sells fast if its 1-2 caps but the big stuff i can sell 5-10. Power cores I can sell for 100 if its full otherwise i have to sell for 25-50... Or just half of what ever is left in it. Quest related clothes always sell. Like chef hats, swimsuits or just things that are a pain to go get. I always spend what i make though so I am constantly poor. Just recycling what I get.
On one matter i'm of a different opinion. more important than having stuff to sell in all categories is having two or three categories with many offers. most often, i'm specifically looking for a weapon, an armor part or a blueprint and then i'll visit camps with a big number of weapons etc to sell. i expect many other players doing the same.
Also try not to discourage people with prices I have come across some ridiculous over priced items in game at others camps and I was looking for the items but they where way over budget and I had to move in to another camp to look around for the items I was looking for. So plz keep prices affordable as well so u make money and the person buying from u has a great experience buying from u cause if u stay in sane server they will come back to ur camp to buy more from u over others. So just a little FYI 😊 hope this help others that are in need of caps. but all over this is a great video for starting vending
Came to learn about item pricing, ended up learning I could move my camp spawn
I didnt even know that, i just coincidentally built my house facing the spawn

Oh this makes alot of sense why my 100-200 cap junkie weapons sell so fast.... I wonder how many of my items were bought just to be resold lol
Or bought for scrip

@@mightyblue3426 how much would you price a bloodied shotgun cause I've had it for a while and I've got a commando build so its worthless to me
@@kyerogers7838 soon as u get at the point with 1 shot kill weapons with that commando build, u pick up every weapon and unless its a b2525/be25 u wont even try to sell it more than scrap value.... so my take for that shotty is 50caps. 2star 150caps 3star 400caps. but if u want to push it and make that 1star worth something its like this
2,5k Bloodied ''Good guns'' handmade etc.
1.5k Submachines and other eeh its ok but i wouldnt use coz ammo runs out so fast...
1k for shotguns > They are bad even with bloodied explosive (in my oppinion)
@@qNepo I have normal double barrel shotgun and without any shotgun perks (I don't have a specific build I just choose different perks) it's overpowered
Thank you so much, the camp price tips were useful but the camp spawn tip is going to help me so much, currently I spawn in a lake that 60% of the time gives me a disease so now that I can finally spawn on land it will help a lot
Such an informative video! Covered exactly what I was looking for. I went from making no sales to completely selling out! Once you had put it into perspective that if Im happy to buy it for that price then that’s a good sign, I had a lot less anxiety with setting prices! Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video.
I found your channel by chance yesterday and you sir have taught me all I need to love this game even more and get better. You're a godsend.
My biggest & most consistent seller in my vendors has always been selling Bulk Junk items for pretty low costs, ammo @ 1 each, Bobbleheads/mags/misc random stuffs!! I personally love finding the unique stuff &/or random items in other's vendors.
PSA: DON'T MAKE YOUR VENDORS HARD TO FIND OR GET TO!!!
I live on the edge of Morgantown, next the bridge and stream south West of the town. Its a 1600s style colonial house, pretty much the center of the map North East of Arktos. Water 2 caps, gas masks 5 caps. Ultracite plans around 30 to 50 caps, ammo 1 cap.
9k for a mutant Gatling laser and 10k for trapper armor, this is madness
Hahaha someone will bite 😂 Again, I don't mind leaving them in there, but that armour does have the sentinel effect though
Not really. Before Wastelanders launched I could easily sell decent 3 stars for that much.
Now not so much. :(
@@LoneVaultWanderer it is a TRAPPER armor. Even if it has a good legendary effects, i don't think players who have that much caps have any more need for such armor (i mean players who play so much as to make that much caps, probably also have plenty of similar value legendaries and better ones for themselves. Players who would have use for such armor just usually can't afford such price. At least that is what i think.
I agree especially for close to power armor only players I don't need legendary armor since the power armor negates the effects I think
Don't forget to power one of the vending machines. Although it may be a simple tip, it was one i missed for about 3 weeks when i was new to the game. Without it, you will not get the V, but a normal camp symbol.
Well that explains why nothing sells at my camp haha. Never thought about power until I read that so thanks.
@@garethod1634 I got power but still no one buy anything. Think I'll have to drop my prices down to 1 cap each smh
Tip for changing your spawn location was the best part of this video imo. You said it so matter-of-factly but this was not a well-known fact. You just saved me from tearing down my camp to move it so I stopped spawning inside rocks.
Someone bought most of my 308 last night for over 1k caps... Thats the most I've had so far at lvl 36! So awesome! Also when im over weight I usually just find a low level player and give it to them and they usually help me in some way. Made a few friends that way.
At lvl 38 I had 4K caps because I save a lot and hord them
The biggest tip I can give you is this. Sell ammo and Scrap for ridiculously low prices. Most high level players will buy in bulk if the price is low enough. And lower leveled players can still purchase stuff too. You can easily rack up 1000's of caps this way if you have the supplies to sell.
How do we get you more subs? You have been SO MUCH helpful. Not only this, but so many of your other videos. Keep up the good fight brother
That means so much Carlos thank you!
You go the xtra mile to explaining things it really helps thanks man your the best xx
There's a welcome mat in the build menus that you can place in the exact spot you want to fast travel to.
I need to do this for mine for sure
Comment of the century thank you for dropping this wisdom so I don’t have to watch the vid lol
The fast travel welcome mat works for me in workshops, but it doesn't even show up when in my camp. It sucks
I wish the camp shops had their own inventory. That way items you want to sell will be taken out of your stash and won't be weighing it down.
Same
Other than ammo which I sell one for one my go to for pricing things is usually half of the recommended price 😉👍
Hey brother. Bough the game in 2021.. this video helped me a lot. Thanks.
Subbed
Amazing video! Very good quality!
Personally since I am good at organizing my stash so i have alot of room, I can afford to set the prices higher and then lower them later if needed.
Thanks lone! I've been hesitant to set up my vendors because of a lack of knowledge, but I appreciate the help in time of need!
Automatic instigating is actually insane as the double damage is on each shot that leaves the gun while the enemy is at full health that gets the benefit.
I honestly stopped putting ammo in my stash box. It is amazing how much space ammo can take up. Lately I've just been randomly placing ammo into random containers around the wasteland.
Fallout 1st can give u ur own ammo crate
Great video and thanks for the advice..... I tend to be quite generous and cheap with the things i sell, even if it is rare or highly sort after as well as going by the the rule of setting prices on things that i would pay for it and not have it to ridisculous.
Awesome video lone, I love how they added vending machines in fallout 76 it’s pretty cool definitely will learn from this lol
I have the perfect storm and its awesome. It catches your enemies on fire and uses no fuel just 10mm ammo
A great weapon. Allows you to follow where the enemies are too cos they're on fire.
I love all your videos man, always so helpful and in depth especially. you're my favorite fallout youtuber!! keep up the great content.
Bro, this guide is amazing, you are very pedagogic. If anything I sould just suggest that you spend like 5 or 10 seconds explaining what can you sell the items for, when you don't sell them for caps
I help lower level players wot ever they need for no caps make me feel good, and sale lower prices it soon mounts up . Thanks for the help guide 🙏
I feel the same way but you have those people I've watched take those you put for lowprice and sell at there for more so I had to stop so 😥
Great video, loved the vendor tips, but as others have said, the camp spawn tip was great.
That needs to be a video so people can easily find that info.
I had an instigating pump shotgun that carried me from around level 5 to around level 50, it was a godlike low level weapon
Man wish I could come across your camp. People sell things so expensive compared to you
Oh! I need that Fatman MIRV mod to complete the possum challenge!
Recipes such as lemonade and hard lemonade i buy when I meet the random event vendor. Sell for 220 caps. Always sells to low levels , 100cap profit
I sold mine for 300.
I generally sell aid items for 5-10 cap higher than what I could get from NPC vendors. With plans I take the suggested price and truncate the last(500=50).
I like that!
First off, great info! I really like the idea of moving the camp to pick the spawn. I feel dumb for not thinking of that. One thing I was thinking about is how I’ve stumbled on multiple bloodied 2 & 3 star handmades & combat rifles, and plenty of junkies weapons selling for incredibly cheap. In the case of my crit damage up, bloodied combat rifle, I spent 1000 caps on it. Some people have no idea the value of the items they have. I found those at the least vendor optimized camps. I think it’s very much worth spending some time looking at those camps also.
I'm a newbie, installed the game a week ago and this was very helpfull. Especially the spawn point, i thought is based on how much you build and where, seems i was terribly wrong 🤣 thank you!
Good video. A couple quick tips tho. Fed76(the discord price check tool) is a great tool to use to find starting prices.
Secondly, camp plans are mostly extremely easy to get. People buy them simply because they don't have them, they're not looking for a deal, they just don't want to get ripped off. The base prices of 100-150 on these is perfect and you don't have to sweat your brain haggling with the price. Just learn to recognize the few that are actually rare.
Lastly, don't waste time/money/stash space on Ultracite PA plans, you get the whole set for free eventually and the mods only come from SBQ, and those are what you'll be struggling to get.
this
"You want to make your base enticing"
Me: *visits New Gad, teleports back to my camp, fills my vendor with short hunting rifles. Rubs hands together evily*
Ironically, I built a base outside New Gad with a theme. Its a Fort with huge cement walls. Once people walk in, they’re greeted with a sign that says “Support the fight against New Gad Commies. Buy my goods.” That sign alone has gotten me a lot of money. 😂
@@thebreeze1325 how do you acquire signs?
@@gonozal8_962 you gotta get the plans for the letters, then make your own signs after you’ve learned the plans. You can get plans at vendors and doing missions.
@@thebreeze1325 thx. I guess I need to find the vendors/quests, but helping me is very kind of you
Yep I left many camps if it takes too long to find their vendors
Thanks for this episode! It was very insightful, I took your advice and applied it but slightly modified it. I found location was key. I sell alot of low level ammo, mods and needed chems at reasonably low or rather cheap prices. It's really help add to my cap gain while more importantly helping new players by equipping them with needed things at a cheap price. Love your channel and look forward to more videos. Thanks again
I clicked the video thinking "ok, you can't recommend prices dude"
LVW: "pricing is utterly subjective"
Also LVW: "oh and you can move your camp spawn!"
Me: "TF YOU SAY!?"
LOL
The method I use is these 2 formulas: Standard pricing is 10% discount (the vendor bots purchase for less even with the perk and max charisma) for fusion cores I take the remaining power (treated as percentage) then multiply it by 1.62.
From what I can tell if that your spawn point is pretty much due north of where ever your CAMP thing is set.
I sell all ultracite stuff except calibrated and emergency at 0 caps
I would just drop them at that rate. If you aren't getting anything out of it why even waste time to assign it a sale slot for zero caps? Just seems counterproductive but whatever man you do you.
So ur taking up .25 lbs of storage per plan for nothing..... Just drop them at the bunker near the queen or at a train station with lots of people
@@ostmen_draugr plus all the plans I get from my 80k treasure maps lmao
Think the recent masks and plans will have extra value after the event is over? I have a plethera...
Only the rare ones will have a lot of value. The common masks and plans not so much.
People have been getting legacy’s for some of them
If you have a plethora of them, guess what? So does everyone else.
I’ve been able to sell Fasnacht plans for a thousand caps a piece. I bought a bunch of plans for under 100 caps, hoping for a good return on investment. So far, so good.
Nice, didn't know moving the camp moves the spawn point. I'll have to remember that 👍
Played 1500 hours and had no idea that where the camp machine was places determined the spawn point. Thank you
I personally dont care for fast travel costs. Its pennies. Love seeing peoples camps anyway so its worth it. Great video bud thanks. Also if anyone complains about your high prices dont pay attention. Someone told me that my 3* handmade was too high at 12k caps and messaged me stating his anger. I just put "lol" then he bought it 5 mins later.
there should be a board with smiley face or not happy face to tick to show if players happy with your pries.
I put my camp on the mountain right next to the rusty pick!! People thst fast travel to the outside see my huge lit up camp on the hill im the distance, always getting people visiting! Since rusty pick is the only place you can buy legendary rolls with scrip(: great location!!
As a returning player, this was good to know thanks
Definitely some useful vending info. A video on things you'd like to see improve with f76 would be nice. I think f76 has come a long way but there are still things like weapon balancing I feel need to be addressed. Keep up the great work Lone
NICE VIDEO! One thing I always do is make sure you put mod the weapons you sell with the best upgrades to make it more enticing to buy.
Final Render yeah and repair it before you put it up for sale
Thanks @final render, i always wondered about that. I wish you could sell the fo76 merch you get from bethesda in your vending machines...lol. Great videos. Thanks again.
Man your fallout 76 videos are truly awesome, hope you keep making those xD
about bulked junk, its probably how i make the most of my caps, maybe tied with ammo. i rarely put bulked adhesive up for more than 30c each, and then lower value for most others. with the exceptions of lead and acid. they go for 30 as well.
Great content thanks and just learnt how to create a spawn point bloody fantastic
I always check out camps by the river. Those are the prettiest locations
When it comes to duplicate plans and recipes I just fast travel to 76 and drop them outside the vault door. Let it be a nice surprise for the next emerging dweller
I just sell most plans and whatever for description price (stims, plans, etc.). Weapons and armor depends on effect of course.
*PSA: three-star weapons are not automatically worth 5k+ caps just because they're three-stars*
I keep seeing people (usually lvl 200+, I play on Xbox One) selling garbage like:
--
Shovel:
Increased damage to scorched
Weighs less
More damage for standing still
12k caps
--
Or
--
Board:
More damage to humans
Better vats hit chance
Higher swing speed
18k caps
--
And you'll see that their entire vendor is like that. Like wtf lmao
Occasionally you'll see something decent but it's usually not anywhere near a god roll and these dudes are asking for 25k
I picked up a plasma grenade plan for 125 caps this other day
Jealous
How much are they worth usually
Chris W rare enough I’ve never seen one for sale. Things may have changed but at one time they were dang near impossible to find. Made finishing the Chemistry Possum badge all but impossible.
@@chrisw4082 pre-dupes, 50k. Post-dupes, 50
It has like a 1% chance of dropping so its stupid rare, nearly on par with fixer plans
Overpriced. They're worthless now. Thanks to the duping of the holiday gifts that the plasma grenade plan was in.
I find that parking near Whitespring is effective in getting traffic. While it's not a free location, it's sufficiently high traffic that people are going to be there anyway.
"Serums typically go 300 to 700" someone needs to tell these jackoffs i find selling them for 1.5-3k
I typically take the base in game value (the number the game says an items worth) & knock a zero off the end. Say it says its worth 100, i sell it for 10. The only exception for me is ballistic ammo is 1 cap & legendaries, 1k per star unless ive put them on a marketplace & i get a bidding war
Lol forgot to say this the other day and i'm not sure how many new people will be reading these comments but I recommend selling any ultracite plan for max 50 caps if you are doing queen runs often, They really don't sell that often and I've always had them at 50 or less. the jet packs I usually put for ~100 caps.
Also use the public teams, people can fast travel too you for free when they join your team. It's a good way to bring people to your shop. Free travel is always a bonus
I actually look for camps near places I don't have marked yet for now while I'm still new. Or close to quest markers near quests that jump further out from previous quests. Probably shouldn't and just walk it to mark more and stuff
The only things I sell are ammo I can't use in the converter & skill magazines. Ammo is priced ~50% off & skill magazines are 10 caps.
The most important thing to remember is don't overprice your items. Nobody wants to buy a Chally the Moo-Moo backpack plan at a 500% mark-up.
I sell serums for 150, 3* legendary weapons are sold for no greater than 10k based on demand. Legendary Armor is practically worthless now with SS being added. Fully charged fusion cores can be obtained through the power plants, so if I sell them, they're 10 caps each. Plans are variable depending on rarity and what they're for. Treasure maps are free.
I sell cheap because I don't spend my caps.
I leave dirty drinking water and spoiled veggies for free as well as a couple purified water and low level weapons for the new players. I came across it myself as a new player and it helped me allot starting off so now i pay it forward.
As a new player I bounce around from shops looking for plans. Ill buy if its 200 or less unless it's clearly something i have not seen like weapon plans. I sell extras I get for 25-100. Serums I will buy extras for 250 but sometimes see for 500. I personally set my camp under a cliff near an event. So anytime the event goes my place is the closest workshop. People visit to break stuff down or repair and they always check my shop. Ammo sells fast if its 1-2 caps but the big stuff i can sell 5-10. Power cores I can sell for 100 if its full otherwise i have to sell for 25-50... Or just half of what ever is left in it. Quest related clothes always sell. Like chef hats, swimsuits or just things that are a pain to go get. I always spend what i make though so I am constantly poor. Just recycling what I get.
Building a camp near an event is a smart choice. I'm always poor too but I love living the survivalist way 🫡
How to change the camp spawn location... Thank you !!!👍
tip: if you put disease cure or antibiotics in your vendor I will buy EVERY SINGLE ONE every time.
A really helpful and informative video. Thanks very much for posting.
I liked when people sold plans for cheap so i sell plans for 5, 10 and 15 caps. 5 for basic stuff, 10 for power armor, 15 for event stuff.
On one matter i'm of a different opinion. more important than having stuff to sell in all categories is having two or three categories with many offers. most often, i'm specifically looking for a weapon, an armor part or a blueprint and then i'll visit camps with a big number of weapons etc to sell. i expect many other players doing the same.
I have my camp set up just north of drop site V9 so that I get a big rush of sales just after the scorched earth event
17:50 The ultracite PA is free from tagardey's BOS terminal...
It never used to be free you had to farm the queen for the parts originally
@@olliey5752 his vid is only a month old. Its been free since he's posted it
The power armor is free but the plans sure ain’t
@@joelstroud7690 they are unless you've bought them from a player's store and don't want your pride wounded so you'll keep fighting the truth..
Also try not to discourage people with prices I have come across some ridiculous over priced items in game at others camps and I was looking for the items but they where way over budget and I had to move in to another camp to look around for the items I was looking for. So plz keep prices affordable as well so u make money and the person buying from u has a great experience buying from u cause if u stay in sane server they will come back to ur camp to buy more from u over others. So just a little FYI 😊 hope this help others that are in need of caps. but all over this is a great video for starting vending
I have to agree with the community on Fo76. Some of the friendliest players I've come across.
