just an idea but what about having a point cap for selling food with in three price points of eachother, like if food is at 13, users cant post below 10.
as well as if the market is completley bought out then food could be posted as high as the next user wants but not to exceed 20 or less than ten. |

And of course there`s no need for such limits on raw materials or CGs. I think the lower limit is like 50 points or something for food i`m not sure. But effectively there is none for food since it stays under 30 per unit like 98% of the time. |

It used to be pretty common for people to "give" their stuff to their friends to hold onto, and then their friend would "give" it back. Then these little baby empires were rich straight out of the gate. |

99+ day(s) ago | no there isn`t. At least not practically. On ultra, the lowest food is selling at 30, and the market lets u sell between 1 - 35. What he`s saying is that the range should be like between 27 and 33 if the lowest food is 30 for example. There is already an upper limit to what you can sell food if there`s food on the market (5 "points" above the lowest selling food), but not a lower limit.
And really, 100 as an upper limit for what you can sell food for is a bit too high. If a huge amount ever sells at that level or even at 50, you can rightly suspect someone for market transfer. I don`t ever recall anyone ever buying at an insane level like that. |
bipbippy
99+ day(s) ago | there is a lower limit. It`s based on what the current price of the food is. |
Ragnarok
99+ day(s) ago | I think what he`s saying is that just as there is an upper limit to what you can post dependent on the price, there should be a lower limit too as far as food is concerned. |

99+ day(s) ago | why no less than 10? food goes below 10 alot and the producers still make a killing... |
