*yawns*

why haven`t food prices dropped to 2 on normal yet? the market is maxed out at 5. I for one, will not buy this overpriced food :P
R Ragnarok
What`s funny is that in 2 years, the exact opposite will happen again and food will skyrocket to 12 to 15 and peak at 20 for a month or so as agri empires switch to tax instead. Good ole boom and bust economics xD
R Ragnarok
No, I remember like 4 years ago or so food was consistantly at 5 as well, which was while collective still had terrible build rates for all their ships. It was a terrible time to be collective then too. =S
L Loof
it most be the first time normal have ever had this much overweight in food production/consumption?
U Ullr
Now it`s down to two... glad I restarted as A miner when i did
G grantweepOP
there`s more food @ 3 now. feel free to buy now because it will drop to 1!!!
R Ragnarok
*snatches 150m more food at 3, knowing it`s prolly way overpriced even at this level and is on its way to 2*

<-- In Tax Viral heaven.

...Now if only we had a handful more CG Miners.
R Ragnarok
Ohhh ohhh!!!

*snatches 7m food at 3*

xD
R Ragnarok
Food has just dropped to 4, unless someone manages to buy it all out.
T Travvivian
*Travv goes omnomnom on Cheap Food.* My 1.7 million and counting citizens thank you. lol.

Why nopt work on lowering other prices as well?
Or e is way overpriced.
R Ragnarok
Another billion food posted at 4. :P
U UberPansy
huh I paid good money for my rock!
U Ullr
Guessing this whole thread is subtle mockery of Peace01`s thread. But for the record, it seems like prices for everything are dropping like rocks on the Normal server.
K KnightofNi
lame thread is lame
R Ragnarok
I will add the 1b food was at 4.
R Ragnarok
It`s only a matter of time before food producers start maxing out on food stores and are forced to juggle food on the market or sell lower.

It already happened once with a huge posting of 1b food on the market. Only a matter of time before it happens again. Eventually someone is going to break this silent agreement and prices will plunge to 2 per unit because of the excess of food that builds up. Prices will then stay at these depressed levels for a least a good 8 months, if not 2 years. Right now, taxers are probably spawning and small food producers are contemplating dropping out of the game. It`ll take a good 6-8 months for them to start to mature. Once a balance is achieved, or the pendulum swings the other way in favor of food producers again, prices will steadily rise unless a UW occurs.

Then it`s back to food prices of 12-15 again. If you`re going to wait it out for 3 years, you`ll probably be richly rewarded. Of course, all of this assumes that the game is still around by then. =/

think a lot of the food producers have made a silent agreement not to post lower, i know i`m not.
