IGE Selling L$ for: US$3.53 = (aka: L$283)
LindeX Buying L$ for: US$3.59 (aka L$278)


Nothing like making US$0.06/cents per L$1000....
Time to Buy from IGE and Sell on LindenX.
Sorry if it pushes the price back down.

Unfortunately, after the LindeX transaction fees, you would need the price to rise to L$272/US$ to make a profit.

Buy from IGE: $353.99/L$100k
Sell on LindeX: $354/0.965 = $366.84 required to make a $0.01 profit after selling fees

LindeX rate required: L$100k/$366.84 = L$272.6/US$

It only gets harder if you're trying to sell lots smaller than L$100k.

ReserveBank,

This doesn't nesicarially mean that it isn't time to make a short term TRADE if you feel good about it though. I say give it a try! :)
