To all those who come here for information, to all those streamers, podcasters and redditors who don't have a clue…Fence rep is pretty amazing.
This screenshot is after clicking refresh twice, until he restocked. This was random, but here it is.
Let me dispel some myths.
1) Fence rep (outside of him as a trader) is very nice if you Scav at all. 6+ running with Killa or Tagilla is $$$.
2) Prior to unlocking max traders, it is also amazing as a vendor. 10k 40 round MP7 clips? Class 6 armor at a fraction of the barter costs (if you can barter at all)? Ammo, grenades, barter items, crafting mats…often cheaper than the flea? Yes plx!
3) As your traders level, the vendor is less useful, but at 6.0+ his buy price go way up so still VERY useful. Items that sell for USD only, often sell at a crazy ruble rate. For instance, you can buy SAS drives for 30-35k each in bulk. Sell to Fence for 46k. You can make 100k rubles in less time it takes you to say "Jessie Kazam has nfc how Fence works." (sorry, just listened to a podcast of theirs a from the last "Fence buff" and I was thinking wtf is he talking about?) There are many other examples that I will not list here because I am a selfish bastard.
4) Even prior to the rep buff for car extracts, getting to 6.0 is just not hard. Do not let those who don't want to do it, don't care, etc dissuade you from getting the benefits if you want to. Just PMC intending to use car as often as feasible.
5) Some quests (like the Zabralo hand-ins, plant 2 Gzhels etc) are a joke if you chill at Fence while cruising through whatever else you are on the internet doing (I know what you are doing btw, and its gross).
Finally. It is random. I will pop in sometimes after raid and it's nothing but a 40k morphine and 25k busted toz, but other times what you see above is nothing…some of the guns you can't buy…anywhere and they are just NOT that expensive.
The math doesn't make sense, the prices are seem arbitrary, and the randomness can be frustrating, but if you are a rat/scav/lurker like me, worth. I have mentioned big benefits here, but there is much more too.
So that should stop the endless meme's about Fence and the podcaster disinformation campaign. Those of us who Main Fence, MFers for short, are a small but proud community. We should have an armband.
