I have never paid less than full value for a lammer and never received less.
Please don't accept less if you have lammers, you will get the full amount.
People who will always buy (and are reliable) are providing a valuable service, and deserve a slight discount, that is worth a few bucks for people who just want to make a quick sell without having to put in the work of finding someone on their own. I compare it back to the Pokerstars $T days where I would grind $T and sell them at a slight discount to people who would resell them for 1% more (or use them for themselves, doesn't matter).
Providing liquidity is a valuable service and worth something, not to mention the time these guys have to spend time meeting up with people is worth something of value as well where as it would not otherwise be worth their time.
If the Rio gave the lammers a $450 cash value at the cage I bet they could make a lot more money and run a lot more satellites too. Lots of people would trade them at that rate at the cage, so these guys are are lot less greedy than CET would be if they offered the same service.
If you want the full $500 then put in the time/effort/work to find someone, that is your right, but it doesn't make anyone who buys them at a discount wrong or scum or anything like that, they are providing a service that is worth it it to many. If it is not worth it to you then just don't sell your lammers to them. If enough people aren't willing to sell they would either offer more or stop offering to buy, and if they stop offering to buy completely nobody wins.
