Wing Commander Privateer: Commodity Prices
It is often quite hard to decide when and where to buy and sell commodities in the Gemini sector, and the life of a trader is not really profitable when compared to the monetary rewards of taking combat missions. Nevertheless, here are the lowest and highest prices for all forty commodities present in Privateer and Righteous Fire. They were extracted from each game’s data; it should at least be a useful guide to where salvaged goods can be sold for the best price. Highlighted prices indicate that the commodity is available for purchase at that base; hover over one for how often it’s in stock. A blank value means the commodity isn’t traded there at all.
