GAS - speed of sells

Guest · Post by **Guest** » 28.04.2007, 13:04

I don't get it.

I sell gas Q9 in france and germany. on the first second the difference is 20 minutes for a 20 hour sell.
when I come back some time later, the difference is 4 HOURS.

I check the stat to understand and I find that where the demand is much higher (for the same supply), the prices higher and the average quality is lower IS WHERE IT SELL SLOWER

supply demand kapi qlt time of sell
France 6.053.654,00 13.361.760,00 21,21 6,24 19:45
germany 7.075.738,00 18.290.720,00 23,21 5,72 14:08
turkey 2.104.282,00 5.570.920,00 23,35 4,80 ---

it's the reverse of what I found obvious.

anyone can explain ?

It sound strange, yes. I have always been able to sell gass at a higher price in France, than Germany with the same quality.

It is higher demand in Germany and it is lover average quality.

If I understand what you're saying (which is a big "if"), then I've seen something like that too. It seems the quantity demanded is very important. So once you've blown past the average quality, you'll sell faster in a region high demand / medium supply , than medium demand / low supply.

At least I think that's what I've seen as well. Can't say I fully understand it yet.

here we have a situation where the higher demand (18M vs 13M Vs 5M) is also the slower, not the faster.
moreover the average price is higher for a lower quality .

all hints point to better sells in germany, but france do really better.

And I am doing even better in Turkey with Q5, then in France and least in Germany.

Well Q5 is below average for France and Germany, but above for Turkey. So that makes sense.

I was speculating for the q9 stuff though.

here we have a situation where the higher demand (18M vs 13M Vs 5M) is also the slower, not the faster.
moreover the average price is higher for a lower quality .

Interesting. That's somewhat reversed of what I've seen. My observation when roughly like this (numbers fake but relationships real):

Germany (demand 10,000,000 qualty 2.4)
Selling q1, 1000 units in 12h at 50
Selling q4, 1000 units in 12h at 70

Turkey (demand 3,000,000 qualty 1.9)
Selling q1, 1000 units in 12h at 54
Selling q4, 1000 units in 12h at 68

Again, fake product & fake numbers but real observation. At lower quality, it was better to be in the region where I'm less behind even if its smaller. But once well over the average, it was better to be in the bigger spot.

Talking about France and Germany in the gas market, Germany has higher demand (18m to 13m) and higher average quality (6.2 to 5.7). And Turkey's the best in low numbers. So for Gas, I would expect at and around q6 or below you will do best in Turkey, then France, then Germany.

But I think up around q9 / q10, that would reverse. balaam seems to be saying something different which I can't quite reconcile yet.

i was selling better in france, but as i got to higher quality (q8 currently) Germany is selling much better

i think, it has something to do with the average price and quality, the average quality in germany is now lower than it used to be, and in france it raised, they're almost the same, while the average price in germany is higher
