I just logged in to this:
19.9 hours ago
39,131,835 Bushels were sold for $147,135,700

That is $3,7 per bushel after taxes... Is it possible that I made the mistake to sell for $4 a bushel (I'm a rep so 6% tax is deducted from the $4)? But the market tool of EE doesn't show my bushels selling for $4.

Or is this some glitch in EarthEmpires?

Can an admin help me please to solve this... I suspect I was a dumbo selling for $4 but as I can't find them in EE in the market graph I am not too sure if I was dumb or of if EE had some glitch.
Thanks!

Its $3.76 to be exact, which is the exact amount you should have gotten if you sold at $4 with 6% tax.

It would not show up on the market graph because the game buys those bushels rather than letting a player get super lucky and get that food.

someone messaged me saying they got $4 bushels yesterday and asked it that was a bug

Looks like they were yours and you did indeed sell them for $4.
:(

Always check your market sell pages before you log out and recall if needed!

Wait, so someone actually got those bushels? Is there some issue with SOs bypassing the auto-buy system?

I'm pretty sure there was an auto-buy system in Earth 2025. Did that feature not carry over to Earth Empires?

Better get that auto buy ready, some people will try to abuse this for sure (I WOULD/WILL)

set it to $13 per bushel
$30 troops and oil
$40 Jets and Turrets
$120 Tanks

$350 on all tech

anything sold on public market under those numbers disappears, bought by the ingame pirates to sell it on their black markets.

This is something that will get abused soon enough if no nothing is done...

If nothing is done, then expect me to abuse it :p

There is definitely an auto-buy system in EE which is why there is a limit to how cheap tech gets at the end of every set.

there's autobuy for techs and mil units and maybe for oil but apparently not for bushels (or its very low like 3 bucks).

some autobuy levels are explained at ee-wiki.

Thanks for your answer Pang... I suspected I was dumb but now it's proven... :-)
I always make one big mistake per set so I guess I won't have to worry for the rest of the set...

The minimum price for food is $25. Any food priced at $24 or below will be automatically purchased. The maximum price for food is three times the seller's private market purchasing price for food.

On the Express server, the minimum price for tech is $1001. Any tech priced at $1000 or below will be automatically purchased. The maximum price for tech is $10000.

On all other servers, the minimum price for tech is $501. Any tech priced at $500 or below will be automatically purchased. The maximum price for tech is $10000.


If that's not on the wiki someone should add it.

tech is good for your country and tech expences (there are :P) are minimal (networth expences = Tech Expences, is what I meant)

Millitary on the other hand have their own expences formula, so tech being worth 2Networth points is ok :)

Auto-purchasing of market goods is mainly used to prevent abuse. It's only intended as a balancing mechanic in Express.

only 501's on EE-wiki are from wars.

3rd party sites (boxcar etc) see autobuys too so it can be used to track autobuys (if some1 wants to).

Pang, if it is who I think you are talking about, he didn't get the $4 bushels, he just noticed while using the ingame market history tool that the minimum price that day had been $4, and he thought that was odd. We were wondering if anyone could have actually bought those goods, and I guess the answer is no :)
