Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Escrow-style protection holds funds until the transaction is confirmed complete
  • Massive, highly active Trustpilot base (3,018+ reviews, 94% five-star) with 1,392 reviews in the last 12 months alone
  • Deep, purpose-built catalog covering ship melts/upgrades, aUEC, and Star Citizen account sales in one place
  • Long operating history in the Star Citizen community with a reputation as the go-to third-party ship trading hub

Cons

  • A small number of orders have taken close to a full day to process during peak demand
  • First-time buyers have reported feeling uneasy during the standard grace/escrow period before funds release
  • Pricing tracks the notoriously volatile real-money Star Citizen ship market, so values can shift between browsing and checkout
