the situation today is, that you can sell your steel through contract and the prices won't go up, so you can buy it then for the same priceKlasanov wrote: Why?
It takes steel, stone, and wood to build, in addition to cash.
The steel you have, is very expensive. If you sell it, you'll have to buy it back in order to expand. You're better off keeping it, not selling it.
Because you will be needing it very very soon.
Couple of newbie questions

As a starter you should sell of some steel in order to get quick acces to money so you can start building immediatly, the profit of that early production is (or should be hehe) far more than the additional money paid to buy your steel back. Every serious player agrees on that.
So you don't sell of all your steel, you keep just enough to use for your new buildings, you should do the same thing with stones and wood.

As a starter you should be a steel supplier to someone. Its not that much hard work. heck you can buy the coal, iron and chemicals. You still make a nice profitorval wrote:As a starter you should sell of some steel in order to get quick acces to money so you can start building immediatly, the profit of that early production is (or should be hehe) far more than the additional money paid to buy your steel back.

I actually agree with Orval here. You start with enough Steel to build 80 buildings. Not only is that more than the standard account can hold, it will take weeks to make enough cash to build them. During that time, that's a lot of value to be locked up non-productive in the warehouse.
On the other hand if you sell half of your starting steel, that's a whole new building or two. By the time you have to replace that steel, you will have made so much off the building that even if you have to pay a bit more to get the steel back it's still quite profitable.
And then of course if you sell your stones and steel to build a mine and a factory, you already know where your supply will come from. But even if you build something else, the important thing is to make sure all assets are productive assets.

I agree with most of you and sold a big part of my steell and used that money to expand the company.
The steell will never pass the $135 so the 10% that I loose on the sell will be compensated, at least in part, by the profit of the new buildings.
My only mistake was sold it through the market instead of via contract

Ok. Whatever.
I'd be a lot further ahead than I am now if I didn't use my steel to build a building and then decide I didn't want it. Same principle.
You're really A LOT better off just holding onto it. If the price is stable, why sell it to just have to rebuy it, and further complicate matters?
You already start off with a good amount of cash in the beginning, and the small expansions really don't take too long. You can still run production if you have two buildings and expand them alternatively.
It's a lot more expensive to build new than it is to expand, in the beginning, because of the free resources.
