Store sales

Post by Guest » 25.03.2009, 16:03

Hi

I am a new user and i was wondering why products in the store can only be sold cheap yet if they are sold online at the market the product sells for a lot more. However some products dont sell very well on the online market but if you sell them in the store you have to sell them really cheap. is there any way to sell products in the stores for more money?

Thanks

Most of it is supply and demand. Some products like Wardrobes, TVs and Leather Jackets have a high demand because of their retail value. Other products like Wooden Toys, Toys and Stuffed Animals have a high demand due to their use in the Kindergarden. (You cannot make even half their market value when retailing them so don't bother.) Yet, there are some products like Milk and Wool that will never make any real money when retailed. However, they both can make a decent to good profit when sold to others who will use them to produce other items.

Some products need to be sold in small amounts to make a profit.
Sometimes you just need to be patient.
Some products just are to expensive on the market due to them being special building items and are almost impossible to sell in stores.

Sadly in the current version there are only a few products that are really worth being sold in shops.

Indeed, i've never heard about stores in green being any good.

I have however seen claims of some yellow ones being good, but the ones i had in yellow never really were either.
I think it was furniture stores who could make a profit in yellow, but i'm not sure.

There's only one good store, and that's a gas station. With the price of gas so high in the market, I recommend you price gas in your stations to sell a full shelf in 48 hours.

All good advice so far :D

Though remember some items on the market are put on for lots and sell for very little in stores compared to that price as they arent actually worth that much!

I could put some of my Q27gas on right now for 150caps each... but it would never sell!

Some items though like said do sell for immense amounts as they arent profitable to sell in stores but are needed for other things :)
