I saw a player sell building below cost in other threat. Is this also cheating? I think it is the same,buildings or products. If I cannot sell my products,can I lower the price below the cost?

It's a very grey area. For example, if you made wardrobes:
You bought 20 wood off market (20*45=900), 5 steel (5*135=675), 600 power (600*0.11=66) plus production cost (18). Total cost = 1659 for Q0.

Now, CMB will buy that off you for 1400. This is vastly under cost, but is it cheating? No. Becuase this is an accepted price for wardrobes.

If you make your own wood and steel and power and your cost comes out to 500 and sell for 400 - this would be cheating since the market is so far above this price.

It's basically common sense

if you dont find a buyer for a building, and you want to sell it, there is only one option. selling it to system. but you get only a few percent from its worth. so if you sell it below the building costs, gives you more profit. thats the only exception from the rules. maybe.
