[1] Edited by: Feta Solamnia on 22/10/2004 09:26:31 I totally agree with FunGuy. Your stock balance (in other words the demand at your price in conjuction with your production ability) indicates if you should drop or up your price. Anything other than that will either earn you less than you could (like naga ppl, I never could understand their business tactics), or you'd end up with an increasing stock. I've been thinking if the term "price fixing" is possible at any extent in eve. Even if ALL miners agreed to a "price" to sell for (which is clearly impossible), that'd still fall under the same case. Less sales => big stock =>nobody happy. And if this can't happen with minerals (the most essential item in eve), I don't think it can ever happen. Unless this "price fixing" term is regarding a common pricing strategy between sellers. They decide to price their items the same and change em according to demand at the same coordinated manner. That could protect them from overzealous undercuting and hence a safer sales strategy, and make market intel easier. This ofc has nothing to do with the proj example "we will sell at 3m, PERIOD". Shameless sales plug: Oooh, I got 4k thermonuclear trigs on sale at Kermek (next to Yulai), please stop this "price fixing" and buy em!  |
