buy power at $0.10? that is $0.07 mark up.

On this note, there is someone on the B2B buying up all the power, and reselling it at $1 a unit. Doesn't seem like he is getting much return on it though.

Fakeedit: He is doing the same with water, buying it at ~0.04 and reselling at 0.9. Great since I can offload excess water for three times the usual price, and have it gone in minutes, but jesus christ this is diabolical.

I did that with coal a while ago. Made something like 200 mil on it.

[LoSboccacc]

[Scelly9]

I'm glad I'm not manufacturing my own goods then. Just running a small chain of retail outlets that sell top-of-the-line imported goods. I'm a little over halfway to the first nano cap rank just by doing this over the past two or three days.

There is some one buying Minerals for $5 unit, TEN times the cost to make the stuff.

[LoSboccacc]

That may be me.

Doesn't matter because I convert to chem and threads so cost is absorbed by the hundreds thread I build off a single mineral

So, how is the thing doing now? Worth checking back up in?

[Graknorke]

Water and electricity prices have gone sky-high due to people pretty much setting up an oligopoly on buying up any cheap utilities and selling them for something like 7x the price.

[Talfryn]

If there is a water/electricity produce who wants they can probably slowly drop the prices by .01'ing everything.

No, their supply will just get bought out for cheaper. You'd be better off making it only a tiny bit cheaper so that it is not worth the time for the tiny profit margin.

Is there any way to make this game less repetitive? I spent the past five days running my own chain of apparel stores and got a networth of $32.9m, but my god it was boring as all hell.

[Cheedows]

Okay, I think we need to get a group running to stop insane inflation on test server of electricity and water.

[Aklyon]

You mean regroup the group?

Dear Truxton,

I see that you have begun your sale of bowties, or that I have only just noticed that.
I am a weakling in EoS, basically making bowties and selling bowties only. I noticed that you had various other goods researched at fairly high levels, why not pursue the money that lies in them?
It would take me a fair amount of money and time to monopolize the accessory market, and it would put you as my main competitor. I do not want that. In fact, I will probably abandon accessory industry as soon as I save enough capital. Until then, although, I humbly ask you to leave the bowtie market for me, a starting-up business man.

Yours truly,
Fritz.

I just sent this to a guy that tried selling bowties(bowties had no demand met at the time I started selling them). I think it turned out alright I'll let you know what he says in his reply to this.
