Port sell price for PvE Marks

[Remus]

I've just noticed the AI in Port Royal on Global has a sell price for PvE marks, Surely this isn't right, undermining player supply and demand. How did it get the marks to sell in the first place?

Pretty sure players just sold the "useless" things to the store ( if on pvp server that is )

Interesting to see the 7x profit contracts.

Yah we been buying them up like hot cake cause folks are dumping them.  Got a good stash of refit books in clan now cause of it.

Yes, but how can players sell them to the AI in the first place? Go to a port, Put PvE marks in your hold or warehouse. Click Shop > Marks and you'll see no buy price. It isn't like oak logs or black ironwood where every port will buy whatever you have, even if the price is only 1.

Will the shop buy PvP and Conquest marks as well? According to the API, PvE Marks, PvP Marks and Marks of Conquest all have a base price of 1000. That could be ... er ... interesting.
