Gpow stock falled quite a lot!

I sold it just before. Wheeeww

If you just sold a bunch, that might be why it fell.

So, a side business venture of mine, for the last day or so, has been buying Import then reselling on B2B. And of course, the resell is at a healthy markup.

Now, this strat, should not work. But in the little bit of time, I've been doing this, some strange things have started to happen.

First, is that some of my products that I'm Import Flipping, have been the basis for the prices in some B2B markets. Such as Rubber. And there are some B2B markets which are entirely Import Flipping, such as Energy Drinks.

It's quite curious. Now, this strat is working for me at least.

Spent:   $532 k       $226 k       $838 k
Earned: $2.19 m   $1.33 M       $888 k

Now, some of this was my Sobert side venture, but majority of my earning was from Import Flipping.

Now, I have had to bite some things. Such as, I my butter and cheese, I tried doing this on. That was kinda of expensive. But this is working so far.
-----
Now, SPQR inc. is another company who is doing this as well. And he's been undercutting me in my markets... so he is my rival.

So lesson to learn here is to always check Import Prices, and dont buy from SPQR.

SELL YOUR STOCK OF SECRET LAIR!

Sell it now, while it's still high. They're committing unethical actions to prevent their stock holders from receiving their dividends.

Secret Lair has twice now, dropped their dividends, before the Annual Cost was applied then raised it back up.

I'm due 1k in dividends from him.

It blows my mind that flipping imports works.

I'm thinking of selling my company and starting over. What would be the best way to extra value be? Doing a small IPO and slowly selling stock over several days? Of course, I'll warn you guys when I start my IPO.

You fail to see the opportunity: I got a hefty gain in import flippin bacon undercutting spqr: he buys mine out to enforce price fixing but ultimately it's the same result for me. A sale is a sale :)

Does anybody know about games with similarly complex production chains, but less grind?

Virtonomics is even more complex. Quite a good game too. But has some microtransactions, like you'd have to pay real money for raw minerals and minerals are limited. We could do a B12 noob blitz on it :P (and if you don't like microtransactions, there's a pay to join server that's free from it)

EoS is not really that grindy if you avoid retail. I'm enjoying the non-retail play more, it's a little slower, but I see it as a challenge.

The CEO is pretty much paying for everything e.e

I dont think its a bad thing to have him, he is like, judging by rankings, the 4th best player atm. He is actually made alot of money for the company.

After having spent a few days buying on the B2B and selling in retail I have been making about 1m revenue per day and all was well. I've just finished producing a batch of paper and I'm simply astounded at how much difference there is in the price to manufacture vs the price to buy. I've been buying paper at $8 a pop. The batch I just produced is telling me it came in at $0.98 per unit.
