If you buy the power and water from the market, (.17 for Power, .16 for Water) and add the labor cost, 9, 1 gold is 167.9.
You expect people to run their mines to make a .1 profit. And if they are based in another country, they go into debt for shipping!
168 is a ripoff until you are farming your own water and power. And even then, the profit at 168 is small.
You should be willing to pay double the cost to mine it (including power and water) plus 25%. 420 is a fair price per gold. Just trying to point out the unfairness of your offer.
Even 350 would be a good compromise, if you wanted to dicker with the price.
[EDIT by GoldenEye: Please do not care about other players' price-calculation. Contact the player via PM if you think the price is too high/too low, but not in the thread. Please avoid discussions in the trade-section. Thanks!]
I felt pretty ripped off, selling to another company (which I won't say out of a sense of business etiquette) that I sold 50,000 grams of gold too. I made a whopping 7,500 in profit, which I lost because I am based in Germany and he is in Saudi. I will never sell or buy from that player again.
