first experiments with lowball market sells
these experiments were performed in the current express set using a monarchy unmodified by military bases or technology
bushels were auto-bought at $24 and sold to standing offer at $25
oil was auto-bought at $12 and sold to standing offer at $13
i have not found the minimum auto-buy price for mil units, but have confirmed standing offer buys at
troops $30
jets $40
turrets $42
tanks $120
the goods always go to the end of their arrival timer before being sold
the price received was always the asking price minus market commission
this appears exploitable to me in a colusion to boost a particular player
buying substantial numbers of mil units at those prices seems problematic to me in itself
oil bought at $13 allows for a $60/barrel instant profit selling back to the private market at $73 (demo with mil tech)
collusion using these exploits does seems possible and material in my opinion
i will continue as time permits and plan to change to theo and build mbs as future experiments
but i did want to get this posted for commentary and to encourage others to experiment and ponder
thanks!
