Tech prices are low, food prices are high. You're not making that much money per day now. Your stockpile is barely increasing in size. The food peak is coming soon. Don't sit around selling tech at $1200 per point while the value of your food stockpile drops by 20%. Its better to sell 250m bushels at $50 than to sell 300m bushels at $40.

Your food stockpile is growing very slowly in size now with food prices this high and tech prices this low, and if you don't destock at the peak, the value of your stockpile could actually start shrinking faster than you can add to it.

Therefore, it is time for you to start figuring out when you want to switch to TMBR and how long it will take to switch and how long it will take to destock. Remember, there are only 48 turns of regen a day in primary, unlike the 72 turns worth of regen a day you get on other servers like FFA and Alliance, or 96 turns a day of regen on team. If you want to do your destock properly, you should start destocking in the next week. A 20k acre TMBR can only jump 6.24m networth per day off its private market (but on the bright side, it only needs about 1b cash to make that 6.24m networth jump). If you're gonna jump 60m networth, you need to start jumping in the next week in order to finish jumping by the time the set is over.

Given how low tech prices are right now, you will probably make more money reselling military in the last 72 hours than you will by stocking for an extra 72 hours as a techer. You also run a greater risk of destocking after the food peak if you try to squeeze out an extra 72 hours of stockpiling as a techer.

Sincerely,
A concerned casher

That's assuming the techers even have stockpiles =P

And no we won't sell you our cheap bushels!

I think you'd need an excess of 10b stock to make it worth it. Which, given these tech prices, i doubt many have (i certainly don't!).

lol!

I never really pay attention, how high do market prices get for last 72 hours? In general, reselling on solo servers always seems to be pretty weak.

What's the catch? And I thought you were a farmer?

lol, rockman is trying to get the techers to destock so that he can pick up some cheap bushels. Don't fall for it =)

And at the same time he's trying to get military prices to drop on the commies

This whole thread is psychological warfare

I've been the best customer techers have had this set, but I'm done buying their tech. So now I want to continue being a good customer, and I want to buy their food.

Now I'm trying to help them with their destocks and help my own country at the same time. All of the information I gave them was indeed correct. I did tell them I am a casher, but that doesn't change the fact that my advice to them was correct, and they should start destocking in about a week or so. If they sucked at stocking, its not my fault. I did my best to keep tech prices high :P

You did a pretty crappy job at keeping tech prices high so, I will not be doing business with you, no sir, I will not.

Sorry this looks like a mess.

LOL!

WTF was that! Jeez, I typed it from my phone and it came out as crap.

By the way, I put some bushels up for you Rockman. Low price of $55, let's help each other out.

If food prices go up to $55, I'm buying either jets or tech :P

Thats assuming that jets are still $130ish, and that I've stored turns for a few days waiting for food prices to fall, so there's 10 or less days left in the set. For my country, food at $55, jets at $130, and less than 10 days of stocking = jets are better than bushels.

If you think I did a crappy job, imagine what tech prices would have been without me purchasing any tech :P

ya don't worry about food shortages, cashers. There's a few hundred million sitting at $70, just to makes sure no one starves.

$70 sounds good. $70 it is then.

I'm on a diet

Don't switch too fast. I need a LOT of tech still lol...=(

my farmer is cranking up a bit now yay!
