Buying and Selling
LSF protocol for buying or selling weapons, equipment,
commodities, and ships is as follows: Go to the appropriate
vendor (commodity, equipment, or ship), then select the dealer
(or dealer icon) to open a trade window. In the left Inventory
panel, your inventory is itemized. The dealer’s inventory is
itemized in the right Dealer panel. The middle panel displays item
prices and quantities selected from either list. The bottom panel
displays information on any item. Select an item on the dealer
side; if you have the funds, cargo space, and skill level necessary,
you may buy it. To sell, select an item from your Inventory panel.
Equipment Dealers
If you have purchased an item that must be mounted
externally on your ship, a mount button will appear on the
item display in your Inventory panel (see above). If the button
appears locked, the item is properly mounted; otherwise it has
been stored in your cargo hold. All available hardpoints are listed
 rst in your Inventory panel, and unmounted weapons are listed
at the bottom.
Commodity Traders
When purchasing commodities, you are given the option
to determine quantity by using a slider bar in the center
panel. Your money and cargo space determine the maximum
quantity purchasable.
Ship Dealers
When you trade in your old ship, your cargo usually
transfers automatically. In rare circumstances where it
does not, untransferred items will appear in the Dealer panel, and
are sold when you  nalize the transaction. If you wish to keep an
item that was not transferred, you must make space in your
cargo hold by removing something else.

Trent: Believe it or not, dealers aren’t in it for
the love. Check the color box next to any commodity
you buy or sell to compare the dealer’s prices with
the galactic average. Yellow’s average, green’s good,
and red is robbery. If you’re selling stuff, colored
circles show how you’re faring.
