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

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


Besides glass, also cattle is hugely underpriced...

[Guest]

[Guest]

yes,but high q of glass cost lot,about 50 each for some better q of it.
that is only for q0,high q means 8-10 each more kapis.

[Guest]

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.
