Title: So Main: Market Post by: Don Esteban on December 17, 2009, 07:53:38 AM I might just be getting confused but it seems to me that the market is bugged on SO:Main. CHOAM buy proces are always higher than their Sell prices so that even if I buy at the minimum bid there is no way of not making a huge loss.
If this is not a bug and I'm being an idiot feel free to give me the abuse deserved :) Title: Re: So Main: Market Post by: clouthour on December 17, 2009, 10:34:17 AM nop not a bug :P :12: :12: :12:
Title: Re: So Main: Market Post by: Don Esteban on December 17, 2009, 11:24:39 AM so how the hell do I make a profit?
Title: Re: So Main: Market Post by: Pirate55 on December 21, 2009, 08:00:12 PM something to do with researching stuff that makes choam buy your stuff for a higher price and the stuff that makes them sell you stuff.
Title: Re: So Main: Market Post by: Spayed on December 22, 2009, 12:40:23 AM it always used 2 be possible to buy for less then u sell.
Title: Re: So Main: Market Post by: Don Esteban on December 22, 2009, 06:13:11 AM Yes, that's what I thought (and certainly when I discvered the market at the end of last round that was the case) but it seems not.....
Now as I have a degree in Economics you would think I could work out how to turn a profit in the market...either there is a bug or I'm being incredibly dumb - I'd say about 50/50 probability for each :) Any yes, I have looked at the research for improving prices but there is such a big difference that I'd need to use all my CP's just for that and that just doesn't seem a good idea. Title: Re: So Main: Market Post by: Don Esteban on December 22, 2009, 06:15:03 AM Just checked and for example Hydrogen batteries are being sold by CHOAM at around 70k/unit and the buy price is only 48k/unit Title: Re: So Main: Market Post by: Spayed on December 22, 2009, 07:31:45 AM i just checked it aswell. he is rite the buy price is higher then the sell price :S
Title: Re: So Main: Market Post by: Don Esteban on December 22, 2009, 07:49:05 AM i just checked it aswell. he is rite the buy price is higher then the sell price :S Thank you :) I was beginning to wonder if I was just really dumb...... Title: Re: So Main: Market Post by: KenquinnTheInsaneOne on January 14, 2010, 01:27:08 AM Buy offers are what the Market buys stuff from you at
Sell offers are what the Market sells you stuff at If the Buy offers are greater then the Sell offers you can make a profit..... PS: I know this post is a bit old Spayed Title: Re: So Main: Market Post by: FTP on January 14, 2010, 09:21:46 AM Kenquinn, spayed ment that when you buy it the price/unit ratio is higher then when you sell it back to choam.
One thing to notice is: Sells: CHOAM Silicon 500.000 435 62.574.750 217.500.000 0 m => the price/unit ratio is for the outbid ratio otherwise its 125 CHOAM Hacked Data 1.000.000 70.794 40.883.535.000 70.794.000.000 6 m => here its 40883 When you look at the buy screen: CHOAM Hacked Data 1.000.000 0 49.553 49.553.000.000 4 m (9b profit) CHOAM Silicon 500.000 0 304 152.000.000 10 m (90m profit) Title: Re: So Main: Market Post by: KenquinnTheInsaneOne on January 14, 2010, 12:49:25 PM Kenquinn, spayed ment that when you buy it the price/unit ratio is higher then when you sell it back to choam. So in other words the market is not gimped that was what I was trying to make clearOne thing to notice is: Sells: CHOAM Silicon 500.000 435 62.574.750 217.500.000 0 m => the price/unit ratio is for the outbid ratio otherwise its 125 CHOAM Hacked Data 1.000.000 70.794 40.883.535.000 70.794.000.000 6 m => here its 40883 When you look at the buy screen: CHOAM Hacked Data 1.000.000 0 49.553 49.553.000.000 4 m (9b profit) CHOAM Silicon 500.000 0 304 152.000.000 10 m (90m profit) |
