How to have a profit with Wardrobes?

[Guest]

Hello all,

I am trying to produce Wardrobes in Realm 1. I already have a Wood production that is very profitable (for now at least) and I am trying to enter into furniture world producing Tables and Wardrobes.

My question is about profit in this marke. Always I see at fax messages like:

he has a big store so if he has a 5000 m2 store he can put x amount of products in there, so if he is only using 1/6 of his full store potential he can increase his price by 6 and sell it in the same time (at least pretty close to)

also 2050 is what he is paying so that means he has to make some profit on it so he might sell them for 2200 - 2500

Bigger Store makes more money than smaller stores. What you should actually do is completely fill your store and sell everything in 48 hrs. or more or fill your store half way and sell everything in 24 hrs. or more. Completely filling stores and selling in 24 hr cycles is not good in any store and can even hurt profits for everybody in a long run.

Thanks to Youger Business and Farmboy for your answers.

I will study this more becouse I am doing somethings wrong... Like my Gas Station are selling products (full store 500m2) in 8 hours turns (and I am having 40% profit over this turns... I don't know how much I can get in 48h turn... But I will try this.

the best thing with wardrobes is selling them in 48h cycles, or just fill half store and sell it in a little over 24h cycles. I sell wardrobes q7 for 3150 which takes 25h in half filled store. This way it is very profitable and you might invest in higher q steel, steel q4 is about 145caps, so by investing 50 caps more you can get 1 q more, and every q more can increase your store selling price by 80-100 caps.
And the big players have huge furniture stores, so they can afford to just win less from selling wardrobes in store, as long they sell a huge quantity and the shop isn't empty because winning less is still better then not winning at all

And for Gas you should really sell in stores with the 30+q formula. The big players, with huge gas station sell it for more.

Selling too cheep will drop the average price which means less profits for all.

My production cost of Wardrobes Q3 is 1660c (considering that I am buying Stell Q0 at market price 135c and I am using my Wood Q5 production that costs me 55c each, power I get in the market too) and when I try to sell at a store (full ads!) I can only get up to 1900c for 24h.

So how can World Power AG pay me 2050c for each? How much it will sell this product?

Can someone explain this miracle?

Here is the hidden secret to your pricing that you should study:

In one of my stores I could sell 1000 q13 wardrobes at 3000 caps each. This means total 3 million caps. In the same time I would sell 685 q13 wardrobes at 3500 caps. If i sell the remaining 315 wardrobes to the big player who buys at 2950+50*q that would make me total of 3.22 million caps.

You've got a very substantial company so I expect you to have this much clue Greed Inc., but I just want to point it out to all of those who don't (and you if you didn't).

I expect those numbers to be fictional:

The big player buys your q13 for 3600. You could sell all 1000 to him and make 3.6million. As an extra bonus, you would probably contribute to a higher average price in the process, meaning you can sell at a better price in your stores tomorrow.

even if you find someone who buys your wardrobes for 4000 you can still make more money if you sell a part of them in your stores at say 4500 and other part by contract for 4000 (if you cant sell all of them in your stores)

[Guest]

i agree, point was you used all prices below contract price

but if we just say:
In one of my stores I could sell 1000 q13 wardrobes at 3000 caps each. This means total 3 million caps. In the same time I would sell 685 q13 wardrobes at 3700 caps. If i sell the remaining 315 wardrobes to the big player who buys at 2950+50*q that would make me total of 3.67 million caps.

that little adjustment makes it follow exactly that principle (guess this is what i should have written in my previous post)
store price is now higher than contract price, but stores can't sell all the wardrobes in the given time interval
however by selling the rest profit is maximized

all i was meaning to point out is that the selling price in the store in the original post was below contract price (and now i know that numbers are fictional)

[Guest]

oh ok i didnt realize that was your point
