Hmm, even if you produce it in the green zone it still will not make a profit.
It never will.
Q1 ads cost 373,60 to produce in green in realm 2 including powerprice of 0,10 caps each (you need a thousand of those).
In realm 1 it will be even more expensive to produce because of the much higher powerprice.
So you think well maybe if I increase quality it will become more profitable..wrong!!

I increased the quality to around 27 and the productioncost just increased with it,so it becomes even more impossible to make a profit when you have higher quality.
My advice is to stick to quality Q1 and be satisfied with a little, or sometimes no profit at all, or just get rid of the whole business.
And the reasin why you get the ads so cheap on the market isbecause there are still people who calculate warehouse prices for the power which is 0,01 or 0,02 each.
You should always calculatee with marketprices.

Well, if you have say Q71 Advert research (like i do) you can make Q35 adverts, and with the current price around 22 caps per Q that would make mine worth 792 caps (36*22caps) and i can make it in green for 785. So you cna make a profit, but not that much.

Why are advertisements only worth 300c on the market when they cost well over three times that to produce.
How can anyone make a profit doing this.
Sorry if there is a really simple answer.

Ta

Many people make a profit cuz they refuse to use the numbers you used in your math.

Other then that, ads definatly aren't the only product which is sold a lot under value.
There are so many of those.
Just ignore the people producing it and stay out of those productions.

I agree, just buy the ads you need on the market for cheap.

That means somebody is taking the hit and producing Ads.

Hit??
You mean hint I guess.
Well not me, I stopped making ads a long time ago, I still have a few on the market that will not sell, they have been there for ages.
Sometimes somebody buys a few, but that rarely happens.
There are just to many competitors that sell it much cheaper then me so I dont stand a chance...

No he means hit as in taking hte hit and producing ads at a lose

Oh ok, I misunderstood.
meanwhile a miracle has happened: Somebody bought ALL my ads quality 24 from the market.

After all this time, I guess somebody read my post about not being able to sell my ads and felt sorry for me.
Or he just needed ads, which is more likely).
But, it is still a miracle to me.

Well thanks for the thought

Guess I should whine more often about my goods not being sold.

Guest · Post by **Guest** » 09.04.2009, 17:37

Some sucker always buys stuff if people complain on the forum that it hasn't been sold

Look at me!
