You'd need to tell me when you're ready to buy in IRC, Bay12 folks get stuff a lot cheaper than my normal market price.

[Sirian]

I've been sinking every spare penny lately from my other businesses and my stock market profits into a new company, Kemp Outdoors. It has been expanding and expanding. Today it has opened its doors to claim a big chunk of the sporting goods market. 20,000 m2 of sporting goods stores. 500 million just in the land and buildings, another 225 million just in imported stock, and $15 million in advertising. And if it keeps selling like it has been selling it will sell all of that stock in around 8 hours.

I probably went a bit overboard. But Kemp Outdoors will be pulling in over 600 million a day in profits if the sales keep up like they've been the last few hours. Will have to see how much the overhead is for 20,000m2 of sporting goods stores.

Haha you know i'm managing JOI and doing basically the same thing with 18000mē of sport stores (doubling that eventually), and it's earning 1.8 billion in store sales a day ^^ (well since i sell at 2x import price and produce some myself, it's more like 1 billion of gains per day).

Hey guys, this Jack Park, you're freindly neighborhood representative of Rommney Inc. This goes out ot anyone who owns a Cafe. I have around 1.1M units of strawberry banana smoothie listed on B2B. This is around the quality adjusted retail price of the product, so essentially what i am asking you to do is buy this at retail prices and sell it at your stores for the usual double the price. This is substaintially below the average price of around 20$ on the B2B market for strawberry banana smoothies. Please, take them off my hands.

Sales have dropped off a bit, I assume due to the fact that many of the markets are getting above 100% demand met now. Guess my new stores tipped the balance on that

Only getting 13.4 mil a tick in sales now. That's still about 643 million daily profit though, minus whatever overhead these stores will have. Quite a good daily return for the investment.

I took the money from 8 hours of sales and bought 16 hours of stock to keep the sales going.

My market share by revenue is around 30% on most of the goods though. By volume it's only around 15-20%, but by revenue is the most important part. Means I'm making more money than the other fools doing it by volume at lower prices

That is arguable... $1 revenue with 99c cost is worse than 30c revenue with 5c cost, sales volume being equal

I have a shipment of 2mil Q8 strawberries dropping in about four hours, so if anyone wants to fund my world domination strawberry empire, then you know where to go!

Well, my revenue is 2x cost - and most of my prices are far above the average.

Take bats, for example. I bought them at $600 and am selling them at $1200. In the last tick I had 35% revenue share, but only 20% volume share. Assuming someone else had the opposite, they would have to be selling 1.75x as many bats at about 1/3 of my price. Even if their bats were completely free selling at $400 they would only be getting about 17% more money than me from the store. And that isn't counting all the manufacturing time to make those bats, and the fact that they could sell them b2b for at least that much and not have to wait on the store.

It's probably that a lot of people are just selling stuff at low prices that they manufacture themselves, making miserable profits compared to what they could be making, but thinking it's good since sporting goods stores have such amazing returns.

Damn my company really isn't doing well today. Now that I finally pushed all the money I had left over into expanding my pc production several other companies (that are way bigger then me) appeared in the pc market. I still have an technological advantage but I don't know for how long. I guess I'll have to do IPO to get money to boost my research department.

[MrWiggles]

So my new strat is to do 12 hour production runs. The goal  is to provide more products for sale eventually.

You know I never knew just how good takeovers could be. As CEO of Forever Fruit, appointed by Paul, I invested my bonus and earnings from all of my companies in FF. I was certain the stock would go up as the company was able to make more and more money off store and B2B sales. Then someone decided to takeover the company from Paul. The stock hit a high of 22$, rising from 2.4$, and I sold all of my 3% of the company's stock. I made 36M off of it.

Also as a question to Paul, by selling your 26% how much cash did you make?

[Megaman]

What's a good thing to sell right now? I'm joining and want to become richness

[Eagle_eye]

You may want to wait a few hours.. there's going to be a change in the sales mechanics, and the specifics of it aren't quite clear.

[Megaman]

Then I beter start tommorow :/
