Topic: Marijuana?!?!?

Would someone please start selling Mary Jane at some sane prices here? $25 a unit is way too much and nobody is going to buy that.

Re: Marijuana?!?!?

I will buy at 25-30 smile:):)

Re: Marijuana?!?!?

25s not too bad, there's times when MJs so scare that ppl will buy at 35-40 tongue

Re: Marijuana?!?!?

Sheesh, if people will buy it that high, they should go to the Back Room and not give those Marijuana farmers the satisfaction. It is possible to make a living off of 15-16 a pop.

The back room is only supplied with a limited amount, many people can't live off the back room.

I'm baaaaaaaack.

Re: Marijuana?!?!?

All I can say is, people, make friends with your local marijuana farmer and convince them to sell lower. Trust me, the populace will thank you.

Re: Marijuana?!?!?

I feel dumb for bumping this thread, but this topic is an enduring one. Can anyone give me a GOOD reason for why the pot prices are up around 30 again??

Re: Marijuana?!?!?

Because people are willing to pay that much for it.

Re: Marijuana?!?!?

I'll be selling for 15-20 again as soon as my war w/ Breed is over...

in fact, anyone who kills off members of Breed [namely (#55) Kid , (#43) Haltorain, and (#219) Tarfur] will likely find me grateful enough to sell weed to them as low as 10. cool

There are some psychic people out there and they're usually crazy as well. Try eating your cereal while you're looking through binoculars and you'll see why.

Re: Marijuana?!?!?

I'm all for going at Tarfur. mad

Kid's alright though. wink

Re: Marijuana?!?!?

See, this is the kind of person we need to hit, guys. A regular democrat...

Okay, to continue this rant, why are people willing to spend so much on pot? I know for a fact based on experience that if the farmers in this game lowered the price by $16 from where it is now, the amount of business would increase and thus your profits would also increase. With the number of Crackers playing this run, demand is high. When demand increases, prices decrease; that's basic economics. I know this, and that's without even taking an econ class in school. You know why? Because it's common fooking sense.:mad:

Coming from one of the bigger suppliers in the game...

I like selling for high, when I know it's gonna sell, and it will. That's what makes it great. wink

But I'm strictly selling things to CHANCE right now. I can scrape up a little bit more here and there to sell on the store, but it won't be as big a shipment as it used to be.

I can put about 250 mil on the market a day, but that's only on a good day, when breed, Shawn C and now Chimeera, aren't messing with me...

It'll probably be more after they stop.

Or at next reset, I haven't decided what build I'm going to do then.

Re: Marijuana?!?!?

Don't build at all.

Saves time.

Re: Marijuana?!?!?

It's amusing to see that people are still complaining about weed prices.  I can't remember anytime after the first run that people were satisfied with prices for longer than about a week.  The best part about all of this is that there are completely viable builds that don't require you to buy weed from the public market; in fact, the build that I personally consider the "strongest" right now is also completely self-sufficient.  If you don't like high weed prices, either become a farmer yourself and capitalize on them, or adapt and use a less weed-dependent build.  It's not really that hard.

With the number of Crackers playing this run, demand is high. When demand increases, prices decrease; that's basic economics. I know this, and that's without even taking an econ class in school.

It's pretty apparent that you haven't taken an econ course.  That only holds in perfectly competitive markets, which PPW definitely is not.  The way things stand now, all of that "horribly overpriced" weed is selling, and it's selling quickly enough that the farmers aren't losing any turns waiting for sales*.  Hence, lowering prices would only mean a decrease in profit.  That is also common fucking sense.

* This is an assumption based on what farmers have said in this thread and what the environment's been like the last few runs.  [I played many farming territories.]  I wouldn't actually know what things are like now since I haven't touched my territory in about a month or so [edit: 48 days judging from the news logs], but I'd still be shocked if my claim wasn't true.
