I just put 24,000 Desktop PCs on B2B.
Q40.5 Price 4999$

I know that's pretty expensive but it is still only a third(!!!) from the import price.

Most people are waiting for capitalism-online.com I guess, since the old accounts won't move over there. It's really pointless playing in ratjoy.com right now.

Not so for me; I can make money much easier cornering the markets that people ignore, now.

A lot of us don't corner, but produce as much as we can for our stores.

I haven't confirmed this but before the store changes I would always run out of stock of my own produced items with only 1 1000m2 store. Now I have like 10 stores totalling about 10000m2 and I have a surplus. I really feel like the store change didnt help me at all.

we had our sales cut to a fifth; it is worse for others, I guess, as now I have 50% of the auto market.

My sporting goods company went from making like 3g in daily sales to making about 750 mil in daily sales. I had tons of factories producing just to barely keep enough stock to sell stuff, often buying extra from the b2b market to keep my store fully stocked. Now I'm eating up 90% of the market for most of my items and still can't sell nearly as much as I produce. Three days of production gave me over a week of items to sell. Guess I'll have to slash prices to make the markets bigger.

What are people planning for their first company on capitalism-online?
I've been pondering two possibilities. Either raw meat, since that looks like there aren’t many people in that market on ratjoy so I don't expect many people to start. Or possibly water+electricity, they are low margin sure, but hopefully at the start most other people will go into other markets, which would mean very high demand.

Yeah, selling things isn't nearly as good anymore. Mostly because your increased rate of sales causes an increase in demand met, decreasing overall profits. Congratulations on conquering the market. Too bad all it does is decrease your overall margins.

You'd think that the shelves would have done SOMETHING better for retailers, but it's only made specialization the best way to make money. Assuming you have the time to micromanage.

But, then again, I haven't seen the changes in the UI for a week. Maybe they aren't game-breakingly bad anymore.
