Lower Prices!

[illiwill]

I think that somebody should lower the prices at the market. I mean, stuff to me is overpriced. Iron for example, your better off walking around 'till you find a cave. You,ll most likely find something. Also, up the prices that people sell items. Like 32 cactus Is only $50. Why make it fair to AT LEAST $100. This is just my opinion though.

Yea, some of the prices are a bit high, but some of the market prices are fair. It is good that the market is high b/c then the private store owners can sell their items for a lower price. If the market lowered its prices it would cause private owners to lost a lot of money.

True, but if the prices are so high, you can't buy enough stock for your home shop. And then you run out of business, like me

Since I got mod again, and now Op, I have only been donating and buying things from market for my builds. Some things are overpriced, and may need a review when there isn't so much going on. But for the basic things, the prices seem fine.

I'm talking about how armor/gold/iron is somewhat overpriced, and selling items doesn't even give you HALF of what it originally cost

Guys? I was in the same situation with you.
But, I have the solution.
Make mellon farms.. Dont underestimated them. I got 160k yesterday from these green boxes..
So, start harvesting mellons and no cacus..
Good luck!

I personally think the prices in the market are fine. The best part about it is it gets people to make shops and converse with each other. If people sold items for only 10ish lower than the market, no one would waste time trying to find private sellers.

[Spamarian]

Correct.
If you need anything, /msg me in game.
I have almost everything and some things in really big quantities.

The market prices are good. If you can't afford to buy gold/iron/diamond just find it, in 30 minutes i can find 2 stacks of iron easily...

[Spamarian]

IF you find 2 stacks, sell them to me.
Just let me know the price for both stacks..

This statement doesn't make any sense to me, at all.

You buy stock at the market and then sell it at your store?  For a lower price, I assume?  ...and you wonder why you went out of business?  That's just bad business sense.  Even if you sold it for higher it still makes no sense.  Why would someone travel to your place to buy something that's higher priced than the market?

I can't figure out the logic behind stocking your home shop from the market.  When you make a home shop it's to sell stuff that you farm/collect/make, so you spend no money on the items your selling and make 100% profit.

Any way you do it, buying stock from the market to sell in your personal store is just asking to put yourself out of business.

The prices are high because we prefer you go out and get the materials. The market is only there for convenience.

The real problem are those automated melon farms. and the enormous amount of money they create. Inflation & all that stuff.

What can you do with money?
Buy stuff in the market.
What can you do with that stuff? Not much really, save build.
I think it is good that serious players can have an easyish (If you put time into building a good farm) way to buy materials, because look at Nyssa, look at muh, look at many amazing builders. If they had to get all the materials they use, none of the amazing builds could have happened.

Thank you! Now it makes sense
