McMelvin Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 I'm not sure if this is the right place but anyone else notice the flat lining prices on the global market? When you go threw it, it seems as if almost every commodity is getting cheaper. Sorry I wrote in such a large font, I was trying out the little gadgets.

Administrators Alex Posted August 23, 2014 Administrators Share Posted August 23, 2014 It seems there's more supply than demand in the resources you're looking at. More and more folks will post offers selling resources, undercutting the next lowest offer so there's will get sold faster, meanwhile there's not enough people buying the resources to drive the prices up. 2 Quote Is there a bug?

SoS Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 So buy some stuff, man! My people are living the life of luxury with all these cheap foreign goods. Thank god for our wise leader who led our nation to a service, banking, and technology economy. Sweat away in your factories to provide my nation with their consumer paradise. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollysho Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 So basically what people need to realize is that selling something that is normally $1100+ at $700 doesnt help ANYONE. All it does is kill prices. /minirant 1 Quote [22:36:30] <&CMDR_Adama> I want to be spanked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McMelvin Posted August 23, 2014 Author Share Posted August 23, 2014 Well maybe exporters should refrain from posting new offers so the prices can go up and we can have some decent prices because I think I can get more than $1300 for steel and $180 from iron, which after some math means you loose money for every ton you sell... In other words, people, build up on raw resources, don't sell anything else, and wait until like Thursday to start selling stuff for better price.

Sailor Jerry Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 (edited) Trust me, once folks have more cash on hand, they'll start needing the aluminum and steel to start building their banks, malls and stadiums. Also once more folks have grown and more conflicts start springing up, the need for steel, gas, munitions and aluminum will climd as folks start building their militaries up. It will happen, not sure when, but it will happen. Edited August 23, 2014 by Coach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McMelvin Posted August 23, 2014 Author Share Posted August 23, 2014 I surely hope so because nobody's making money off these current prices, besides, ignore my mini crazy thought I had about stop selling stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayayay Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 there's not enough people buying the resources to drive the prices up. I'm trying, I'm trying! Food is pretty expensive by the way, go ahead and produce as much food as you can, you will make the big bucks. 1 Quote Orbis Wars | CSI: UPN | B I G O O F | PW Expert Has Nerve To Tell You How To Run Your Own Goddamn Alliance | Occupy Wall Street | Sheepy Sings TheNG - My favorite part is when Steve suggests DEIC might have done something remotely successful, then gets massively shit on for proposing such a stupid idea.

Vincent Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 don't worry, let the market mechanisme run its way. if u don't like the low prices now, simple solution, don't sell your items , hold on to you. wait till it hit the level u desire then u may offer to sell it...why force others not to sell just bcos u think the price should be higher?

The hippies will make a killing while the rest of us murder each other. Hopefully, it'll only be a year...not two years before this happens. Maybe the donation bonuses will boost the economy. Either way, if shit is too cheap, don't produce it or don't sell it. Buy it. Or wait. No one's twisting anybody's arm to make bad decisions.

Vincent Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 it seems everyone is focusing on building up their nation, rushing for the cities, a few nation already got their 3rd but majority is still on 2nd. so I don't think any alliance war will happen , not in the next month or 2 . what probably happen now and then is some raiders will raid here and there hoping to find gold mine but is hard to locate as money is really drying up....oh I must be missing the speed round a lot....money every 10 minutes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Placentica Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 (edited) (a bit of a gravedig, my apologies, but it still holds kinda true now) Needs more people willing to play both buy and sell sides to keep the markets fluid, lol. But seriously, just not enough cash and resources are at way too high levels from war and now are coming back down to reality. But not one wants to put in buys that are higher than pre-war levels. I know for me it was much easier to buy stuff than sell it, so I'm being cautious. Edited October 29, 2014 by Placentica Quote Hello!

Ashland Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I mean, I would argue that prices are inflated. I can produce food for 11 dollars per unit and then sell it for... almost fifteen times that amount.

belgrade10 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Due to the war between TAC, and MDoAP/bloc, theres been quite a big increase in demand for manufactured goods, so the price has increased significantly now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Placentica Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I mean, I would argue that prices are inflated. I can produce food for 11 dollars per unit and then sell it for... almost fifteen times that amount. $150 is quite high, but it was pushing $100 pre-war and $75 was a steal. What will make the markets interesting is there does come a time when it's actually better to buy most of these things, followed by a time when you should produce everything because you have so many slots after you hit 100% commerce. But that inbetween period should make a good market for everyone. Quote Hello!

Mikhail Gorbachev Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Many of the people who said prices would skyrocket were 100% right. They went way up, but luckily they're coming down again.

naTia Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Mercantilism Simulator Politics and War seems to be notorious for this market fluctuation. It is mainly caused because there is no mechanic for corporations, so instead every single nation can chip in their seemingly infinite amount of resources and not care about how it affects the market. 1 Quote Resident DJ @ Club Orbis Founder of The Warehouse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aisha Greyjoy Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Its a player-driven economy, something I consider a benefit in a world. As the mass of players goes up(IF?), the market will become more stable. A small market can be manipulated by a few people pretty easy.
