None.  If you can import it at X price, so can anyone else. It'll never sell at X*1.1 price.
As of right now, aluminum is selling on B2B at a higher price than it is imported at. However, I'm not sure how viable it is to do that.

Hey Scelly, thanks for buying a batch of coal from me that I bought at $10 and reposted for $12! This coal cartel is working out quite nicely!
Waaait... So Scelly is Mark Denoron?... What coal cartel are you talking about? What did I miss?

Yeah, we are buying up all the coal below a set price and re-selling it at that set price. That way we dominate the coal market and get to set the prices.

question: is there a better way to watch retail sales than clicking on the shop and on every single product?

And what happens when you run out of money?

It may be listed that way, but is it actually moving units?  I'm guessing no(t to anyone who knows to check the import market).



Also, Dan of the Apple Cider business:  Speaking of, your apple cider is more expensive than the import market.  If you drop your prices a bit, I'll buy from you.

I fail to see how you guys stop other people from undercutting you with this cartel.

I don't run out. Since I bought all the coal everyone who needs coal is buying from me.

Except for the other people selling coal for $13 or more.

The amount of new coal coming onto the market is small enough that we can easily buy up all the new coal and repost it at our desired price point.

True, but since mine is priced cheaper people are more likely to buy from me.

So eventually everyone who needs coal will produce it himself, killing the coal market completely?

'We'? How many people are in the cartel? How do I join? :P

Also, an idea: raise the prices to $13.00.

Buy coal, sell it. You might want to tell me your company name though, if you don't want me buying all your coal.

This is how much I've sold:

Legion Industries. I'm currently aiming to produce a shitload of coal by myself.

Do you have a Skype, so we can coordinate better?
