High price steel on the market

Guest · Post by **Guest** » 02.05.2009, 03:19

I got a random question, on R2, there is a ton of random people selling steel at very inflated prices, short of buying it all out, is there anything that can be done about the sellers? Isn't it against the rules to do this?

My steel, which I sell at legit prices gets lost in a list of overinflated prices...

Don't know about most people but I always click on the Price button so its sorts the listings out according to price.

I buy pretty Mmuch the same as puzzman I just hit price and your offer will some up first as theirs usualy only a max of 2 sales below 135ea.
Techincaly its illegal to sell Q0 raw materials at above the LLC rate but its a very hard policy to enforce ect ect, few people will buy Q0 above 135ea anyway. On a better note it might be aginst the rules to say here but ill take any Q0 steel 135ea on R2.

On a side note what are the rules on buying steel off the market for 133 and sending it to you for 135?

Nothing to stop you

Just keep the contracts at <100k but send as many as you want. If you can get enough at 133 to make it worth your while go for it

I don't think it's a good way to invest your cash. You get only 2/135 ~ 1,5% profit. If you spend this money on expansion of your buildings - it should be much better.
Also, you waste your time, steel q0 under 135c is a very rare case.

Well it depends for example I'm often online during the European night so if I can get a bargain in the middle of the night and sell it on in the morning than its 1.5% on my cash which normally is sitting there waiting to be used to start my next production run.

In reality I wouldent do it but its up to you
If you cant find a better merch say textiles or plastic then do it but ras is right its not much profit for a large outlay and I cant absolutely garrentee that I will be on in time for your production

Well its the chance I would have to take

Although if you keep an eye on most of the high demand products you will find some good bargains that are worth the outlay.
