Who will buy Research goods?

I purchased a bunch of research goods (Quantum Deductors and Synthetic Limbs) and now I can't find anyone who will pay more than 10 apiece for them. Is there anywhere I can sell them at a profit?

This is a well documented problem with the Vega Strike economy. I think this will be fixed when the economy is overhauled, solving this problem as well as others. If you still have the cargo, try to sell it back to the research station/to another research station so you won't lose your money.

Actually, I think I've been able to sell everything I've bought at university planets, though not always at a profit. Industries like industrial research, certain kinds of planets (at least bio diverse ones) like environmental research, the military and/or industries like electronics research... medical stations might or might not like medical research - I don't know whether you're supposed to haul that stuff from universities to medical research stations or vice versa...

I got the same problem: I bought the stuff at a Volcanic planet for a very low price but even research stations (and medical stations) did not want to buy it. I did not even find a planet to sell it and I tried nearly any kind.

I sold some bionics for a profit at a bio simple planet i think.

Buy medical research from research stations and sell at medical stations. The description of resistant biologics(bacteria or something similar sorry for my vagueness) suggests that u should buy this from medical stations and sell to research but i have not tried as it is contraband and ive not found any medical stations near research stations.

Also factory stations like industrial research but trantor class planets don't.

Here is a list of who is defined for research cargo.

Research prices are odd... sometimes it's just a 40% margin (not worth the effort of finding adequate research buyers) but I managed to sell self-healing metal on a Trantor class planet for 10 times its price !
