I don't have a clear idea of the different anti-crime items. Camera and alarms are different but the instruction menu doesn't explain anything really. And where do I find a good shop? On Gold Coast main street there are no shops for that, and I'd like to save taxi money for going to a place where I'm sure I can get one

Unfortunately your shop is shown in the backwards of the listings because if its low marketing value, if you're urging for cash you should seek for a contract.

Ok business is back in good shape as some shops in Gold Coast main road aren't selling wood at silly prices anymore.. I'm collecting the raw materials needed to build an oven and begin brick-glass business, if you have some good contracts I'm getting anything you may offer, as no one is selling iron and bricks and I can't waste taxi money/car gasoline to go around

I got robbed today... lost about 350ISH worth of stuff from my shop.

On an unrelated note, perhaps one of us folks in Cashington should build a house on the new street for all of us?

What´s price of timber in your current town? In GC it´s 25.00 ICH- selling it at 0.9 may not cover production costs

The is some guy in cashington selling a tree for 19, even then it is 25 at the store.
Add in the price of a saw (24-31) and you are looking at 50 boards for about (44-56).

None of my stuff is selling I'm starting to get a little irked. I might try the get my cash down to below 10 so I get the 200 bump from the game engine.

Just look at the position of your shop on the road list- being number 2 after the FED shop is the best, being easy to find grants you newbies ready to pay products any price and people desperately needing for stuff

Add in the price of a saw (24-31) and you are looking at 50 boards for about (44-56).

I cut many logs at a time. 0.05 each plank production cost, 5 trees at a time means it costs 25*5 for the trees, 0.05*250 in production costs and 5+5+0.5+4 to make a saw (iron ore + 5 planks + iron prod cost + saw prod cost). So it costs me 125+12.5+14.5 = 152 to make 250 planks. I can sell for 0.7 and still make a profit

Some people in Centropolis sell for 0.65, though I can't match that.

You're undercut for both wood and gold, so no-one will. If the cheap wood runs out, or if the gold does (I have over 200 of each though ) then people might start buying it, but until then I doubt it.

Ok ok I did some little sacrifices and spent all the money building a machine. Engines were turned into pumps, and pumps contributed to the machine building. As soon as I have some cash from bricks and wood sale, I´m flooding Gold Coast with electronics

Ok time to post our progresses after about 2 weeks of play!

I started my miniconomy activity making so many mistakes I wasted tons of money doing things that I still regret for, like building a house right after beginning the game, and building a medium-size shop, and expanding the warehouse. I did all of this buying raw materials for crazy prices at the FED shop.

After this phase I started with wood commerce, used my first earnings to improve skill level so I can make tons of wood logs with silly exp. Competition began, so I was forced to drop prices below 1 ISH. For some reason, every other player went bankrupt (I wonder why, when you buy at 2, have operative costs of 2 and sell at 0.80) so I´m currently the only retailer of wood and bricks in Main Road. I built a car that is currently parked outside city as the mayor of Gold Coast didn´t build any civic infrastructure yet.

I used my last week´s money to get an oven and a machine, I had to expand the warehose and the shop again (machine and iron need sth like 8 squist of empty space in warehouse), and now I´m starting to build an alarm, or a telephone. Or a computer. Or build an Apolyton club.

Some funny thing happened yesterday. I put for sale some pieces of plastic and glass at a lower price than the FED shop, and some clever player bought it from my shop and started to sell it 10 ISH lower. Good move, really

Right now I have a warehouse full of profucts, and shop as well, so I want to help some unlucky apolytoner building his commercial empire as well. If you need anything just send me a miniconomy sms or post here, I´ll sell you my stuff for a low price just because it´s you, ok? At least 50% discount, promised
