| Author | To all people who monopolize artifact etc Defender Shield... |
|---|
Hi, I guess to benefit everybody, maybe we should standardize the price of the artifact in market. Like Defender Shield: 3400-3500 can be further discuss...
This thread will use to discuss about the price for artifact... hope we can make an agreement and benefit everybody... I believe that everybody will benefit form it. |
| this is not beneficial for the merchants who own the defender shields though so why would the people who own the shields want to sell for a standard price. it will be harder to sell with standard price competition |
| It's been discussed. Lowering the prices will make them harder to get. Increasing the prices will only make them still difficult to get and more expensive in the market. |
| i bought like 4 defender shields yesterday right after the shift ends, and there's still 10 left for awhile. so its not hard to buy from the facility |
Straws, you're missing the point...
demonic666 - good idea, but not correct. maybe we should make a general rule about as to how much you can lower the price of the shield. it's really annoying when all the shields ar at about ~ 3450 gold coins and there's nice product circulation, and some (insert random loser name) drops the price to 3350, kills his own profit and kills everybody else's profit. |
lol, everytime I think I have seen everything in this forum something like this comes up.
The "Monopolizers" complain that their profit is too small, maybe you should ask admins to reduce the workspots in the def shield factory?:)
Btw, u won´t make a standard price work because u actually have no monopoly, u only form an oligopoly and for each participant (seller side) it is always good to lower his own price just a bit more than the others. |
I believe that everybody will benefit form it.
only merchants will benefit from monopoly |
| what i mean is its not even hard to buy them, so i dont see why the price should be higher and 'standardize'? there's abundance of them and any merchant with senses would compete by lowering the prices |
Can't agree more, ExDeath. demonic666, please set your official price, other merchants will happily beat it by 1 or 100 gold to take all the market.
Competition is good for the consumer. |
In some situations it makes sense to make bigger price jumps than the obligatory 1 gold, for example to scare competitors out of the market, as an exit-strategy or to sell something at all. If you are just willing to go down in steps of 1 others beat you in a similar way the minute you do it and you just have 3 slots which will be blocked for at least 30 minutes. So I rather have margin of 30 and sell something than a margin of 130 and sell nothing.
Right now there are too many defender shields produced to justify a margin worth bothering. |
for fusei:
and there's nice product circulation
meaning there's no need to scare off other merchants, as the product sells easy, and there's enough profit for all. i mean if you sell 3 shields and your overall profit is 30 gold coins, means that you have to invest about 9900 gold for the profit of 30 gold coins. it would be easier to buy ore for 184 gold or wood for 183 and sell it to some nickel or steel factory. even when you sell it at the capitol for 186 gold coins, you'll have 53 ore X 2 or 54 wood X 3 profit from the same amount of gold.
but if there are 5-6 people selling shields for ~ 3450 they'll have about 300+ gold every hour or so each for the same 9900 gold coins. so why ruin that for all merchants? |
11:
Remember to deduce the commission... actually, those people who sell the shield about 3345... these make the market not benificial... as everbody want to earn money, they should contribute as well... If u cant buy any item from the factory, it is because u're slow... It is not an "unfair" or ruin the market... this is the benefit of being middleman... in reality, it also work in the same way right?! |
lmao, so is that mean the monopoly of mercury, gem and crystal are ethical for the past few months?
you have no idea how suck can monopoly be :| |
| You can do whatever you want there will always be 1% that will not follow this. Smart people gets the market, thats it. No matter how much, if you are earning profit you are making progress, its the same in real world. |
| damn capitalists |
It is not an "unfair" or ruin the market
So it's only fair if you are able to earn a substantial amount of profit from being the middleman?
hope we can make an agreement and benefit everybody
I think you mean benefit yourself. |
| maybe the admins that should standarize the max price and min price .. :) then there will be no cheaters that MONOPOLIZE the Def shield that are very important for TG, MG and almost all battles .. :) |
The main problem is that defender shields are not rare anymore. They are in facility for about 15 seconds after shift end. More traders = lowering the price to beat each other. You can write anything on the forum, it wont change the market as big as defender shields market. Everyone asking more than 3350 for a defender shield now is a beggar in my eyes.
I dont think any of these present "defender shield traders" could handle a real shortage, and I can see them whine about "please raise the mercury workplaces/wages".
If u cant buy any item from the factory, it is because u're slow All kneel before the fast one who can type number 1 in the record time of 20 seconds. Now defender shields are not WORTH BUYING at the factory. You can earn that 50 profit easier at the east bay nickel factory..the ideal situation with only you selling you can earn 1000 gold in one shift at east bay. So why bother with defender shields? |

Think about it earlier for the next time. |
