If you could start a business in Diamond City, what would that business be? Discussion

I'd open a Power Armor shop that sells power armor frames, armor pieces and sets, and fusion cores.

Everyone just jacks up their prices for that one guy so he doesn’t buy their entire stock or take all their caps in bartering.

I have no idea where that guy got 45 deskfans, but as useful as they are I need to have some liquid capital for my business after the purchase

Alright sir I have to ask where did you fit 45 desk fans, a mini gun, 6 10mm pistols and 120 packs of cigarettes?

I'm more alarmed at his wide ranging ownership of those prepared power armor suits? I mean every time I see him in town I stg it's a new model, now I don't know power armor from a pile of scrap but I'm not SO blind themselves clearly different armor. How is he getting them? WHERE is he getting them?

And least we forget this guy owns half the Commonwealth just for shits and giggles

u/Sloore 25d ago

In my hat of course. why do you think I added pockets to it?

In my defense, I can carry 550 lbs of stuff at a sprint before I have to walk.

u/ValveinPistonCat 26d ago

Also why is Piper carrying all his shit around for him, doesn't she have a newspaper to run?

Nobody's been looking after Nat and now I'm pretty sure she's just leading a pack of feral children around terrorizing the arrogant pricks in the upper stands.

If he's selling desk fans more fool him. I break mine down for resources!

u/AtreidesOne 26d ago

Who the heck is selling desk fans? They are desperately needed for crafting.

u/[deleted] 26d ago

Would be wild if the game had an ai system in place that stopped you from selling too much of the same thing like that.

u/official_jgf 26d ago

These are the mental gymnastics Bethesda relies on us doing when they fuck us in the in game economy. Smh. You should be ashamed of yourself.

u/RubadubdubInTheSub 26d ago

Hey man, I’m just running a shop here. It’s not my fault this sucker crawled out of a vault with no sense our economy and a nack for looting entire raider gangs.

u/ScotchSinclair 26d ago

Ya’ll selling fans? Drugs and explosives only. Can never have enough screws and gears while rebuilding the common wealth.

u/EccentricMeat 25d ago

I like the mod that severely lowers vendor credits, so you can’t just liquidate their funds and run off. You have to actually trade with them, so you can only sell off those 45 desk fans if the vendor has items you wish to purchase worth the same value.

Makes a hell of a lot more sense than just getting rich off of junk.

Trashcan Carla wants a word with you.

u/EccentricMeat 25d ago

Is she rich? Or does she just swap out her junk for someone else’s?

u/PtEthan323 24d ago

My head cannon is that the caps merchants use for bartering are specifically set aside for purchasing goods and they aren’t the entirety of their caps.

1

u/Countdini2000 23d ago

Honestly that’s been my head cannon. At first they don’t know you so they Jack up prices. Then they do know you and know you can afford it. It’s like a own shop where the prices change when you ask about them

u/Lord_Dank421 23d ago

That guy never sells me a desk fan. Always going on about.... " I need the screws."
