Product Prices

Post by Guest » 28.03.2010, 16:01

Is there a List of prices for each product which I can go by?
In order not to be classed as cheating. I like to sell products just two times the price It cost me to make and make profit slowly. That way I get the product sold faster and Make steady Progress.
I'm asking because I don't want banned its just how I play the game.
My strategy is to make as many ally companies as possible in order to grow quicker.

All RAW materials have an NPC price on the market, you can't sell for above those prices.
As for all other products, I usually check the market as well, and just look at what price all other players are selling for.

That's the million [currency] question of this game. I make less than 100% profit and I still haven't been banned or classed as a cheater so you should be fine with your strategy.

Selling your products too cheap will unavoidably hinder your growth rate. Then your previously happy customers will become less happy as they discover your growth rate does not match their by a large margin.

But surely your low prices will be heartly welcomed by enemies. :) So if you sell stuff cheap - first make some enemies to get someone happy. :)

Seriously - every product requires certain time to produce. Calculate how much power you could generate in the same time; and then the power price minus the power production fees. That's the value you can add to your material costs to get fair product price, for which noone could blame you that you offer overpriced stuff.

Please stick to usual market prices in order to avoid any problems.
There is no list that shows how cheap/expensive you are allowed to sell. Also prices like "twice my production costs" are no safe guideline.
Please do not try to find out "minimum"-prices because this can always end in a small tragedy (for your account and also your trade partners' ones).
