Posted on May 29, 2012 It's allowed if and only if both companies are privately owned (by you).

Posted on May 29, 2012 I have had this discussion with Scott, and CEO Morgan is right with the following caveat: you must also charge at least wholesale. More accurately, you must charge more than cost, but if you charge less than wholesale, they will likely be bought by an exporter. I do this all the time, and believe me, you will get nailed by exporters even over wholesale on occasion. So, I advise checking the current export price before you send your trucks out on route, lest they get highjacked.

Posted on May 30, 2012 Thank you very much.While we are on the subject,the Q-adjusted formula is very interesting and is working perfectly for stores (with lazy button Q38 pumpkin is sold at 14.1 in my stores),but I don't really understand how the real buy price of robocompanies is working. According to that formula my Q40 petroleum should be worth $90 but robocompanies are always buying it at less than $60. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with % demand met (and for raw materials,for example,such % isn't even in the pedia). Is there a formula to roughly calculate a more real price? |

Posted on May 30, 2012 Exporters do take into account quality levels, at least somewhat. But they never buy beyond a certain price point from the B2B.

Posted on May 30, 2012 The 80% base was my understanding too. However, I listed oil at $51/barrel to myself the other day, and it was bought by an exporter for a bit more than that. About $52.36 according to the news report. Does that mean the exporters will buy based on the final figure of their formulation? It would seem to indicate something like that. Though the quality figures are off in that one.Now you have me curious. |

Posted on Jun 17, 2012 i bring this up again.with the latest (?) changes when i directly sell from warehouse at a low price,the game tells me i'm listing at below export price and the goods are put on b2b. so now the export prices are the ones listed at http://www.ratjoy.com/eos/tools/import_export_data.php and not considering Q anymore? if so,is that meaning we don't have to use "wholesale*export_price_ratio*(1+q/100)" when trading between companies but only wholesale or export price,depending on which one is higher? |
