Calculating the price

Hi everyone.

I just took a look at the glass market and had to see again, that people are throwing away money, by not knowing how to calculate the prices. There are post about this in the "Questions and Beginners" section of the forum, like this one here: http://www.forum.kapilands.com/viewtopic.php?t=4276

What I see right now at the glass market is, that glass q0 sells at 12-13 caps. Even chemicals sell for 15-16 caps. And you need one chemical to produce one glass. And also you need quartz and power and it cost you 3.56 production cost. So, the minimum price for glass should be 24.93 caps. In that calculation I took the cheapest price from the market for chemicals, quartz and power, substracted 10 % and added the production costs. So 24,93 is the price where you don

Happens a lot. Most people don't relize they could sell their materials instead of making the product and make more money. However, there are those people who don't mind and play for fun.

You didn't even read the first post. It isn't about making your own materials, it is about being able to SELL those materials and make more money than making the product.

I don't care when people sell way to cheap, except if I have to lower my prices for it :roll:


Besides glass, also cattle is hugely underpriced...

why are people even producing q0 products? I m sure you re talking about small companies who dont influence the market much. The bigger companies produce high q stuff that sells higher.

besides the market is kind of a joke by now :p All the big business gets done via contracts. So ignore the market and find customers for your products.
