notice: the below statistics were calculated with the Anarchy Edition's Crimson Elite armor equipped, which provides a 5% discount with store vendors (IIRC).
Repeatedly buying the ingredients for the Lock Grinder schematic, then selling the furbished Lock Grinder will net you a profit of $3. It may not seem like much, but once you rack up a bit of cash, you can do this exploit en mass and make back hundreds of dollars with each vender transaction.
Lock Grinder ingredients and cost from the store vendors:
1x Electrical Wire Kit ($15)
1x Hardware Pack ($19)
1x Small Gears ($35)
Total Investment: $69
Selling Price: $72
Profit: $3
The most efficient way of farming this exploit would be to buy several dozen of each ingredient (assuming you have enough money to do so), then building all the Lock Grinders at once using the "build all" selection in your Schematics menu. Then you can go sell them at the vendor for $3 profit a piece. Personally, I purchase 100 of each ingredient, then busy myself for several minutes while the schematics are being constructed-- and then off to the vender.
To display the long-term outcome of this method, here's the potential profit you can make from building & selling 100 Lock Grinders.
Ingredient Costs($69) x Number of Lock Grinders(100): $6900
Sell Price($72) x Number of Lock Grinders(100): $7200
Profit: $300
This may work for other schematics; and it may not work for those who have the standard edition of the game, unless they chose the outfit that offered them the 5% vender discount.
Thoughts, suggestions, other valid schematics, be sure to share. =D
