I am thankful for all the help so far. I am enjoying the game very much.
I have built textile factories and stores. However, I need some help understanding pricing. I understand the selling price by minute and that il can optimize my profit per minute with the right selling price. I also understand some about the stats.
How does my price affect the overall outcome of the game. For instance,
one leather glove sells for 200 at a quality of 0 in ten minutes. But, I can change the price to 400 at same quality and sell the product in four hours. If I change my price to the higher price, does this drive up market prices? Does it help in the future to make the product more profitable or does my sale in my store do little to affect anything else?
Thanks for the help

That one glove will probably drive up the market or affect it by 0.0000000001%. Yes, if you sold about 500,000 daily or 2 mil daily you could move the market pretty easily. Since the stats are refreshed every 24 hours (2:00 GMT), you can tell what you have done. Also there are times I have put in 2000 leather jackets, at 1000 and the selling time is 700 hours (invalid), so I have to knock down the price to 650 or something like that. Then the next day depending on who went to their stores, I could change the price to 1500 and still finish before my 650 price.
It all depends on what Q, you put in, what price, when, how many, where, and it also depends on what you want. Do you want lots of profit or do you want to sell a lot.
If you want lots of profit you have to be patient, i usually have my stores getting done with 120 hours to 180 hours. Now it may take a long time but, I get a lot more for my jackets, gas, fruit, jewelery or what ever store I went to that day, than other people.
If you want to sell a lot or what to sell at a 24 hour period, you have to take in account the price the q and where you are at. Halee-Burton I think does a 24 hour period on selling things, ask him if you want more detail. See then there is another thing about the certain time period, do you want a certain price or a certain amount. If you sell for the same price everyday you could end up selling 700 gloves one day and another 1500 all depends on the average price and average quality.
Last thing I will tell you, you can double you profits no matter what with full ads. 40,000 points is the max you can add more but they do nothing at all, and once you put them in you can not pull them out.
Alright, this is the longest post I have ever typed and made some sense. If you dont have any idea what i said. Knolls will be around to type his 40 page pep talk soon, tell you the truth have only finished two complete posts by him (his bigger ones) others it is usually the first lines and the last. So Knolls if you are reading this, put a 3 line paragraph at the bottom for your favorite person on the forum, and yes I am talking about me.
