i think it would be great to set up a minimum price in user shops for things which can be purchased in npc shops

the thing is im trying hard to earn tu and thats not possible when users who have enough tu or money to buy credits, sell the items under npc shop price

so my idea is to set up a minimum price which is about 10 or 20% over npc shop price

what do you think?

i don't think there should be any guarantee of how much profit you can make. By automatically making it so you can't price any lower than 10 or 20% higher than the npc prices, that's basically guaranteeing you that much of a profit instead of allowing the economy to work out itself.

ranchers have the issue of far too many players undercutting pet values, we have no guarantees of being able to sell pets - much less at a profit. 

like merchants, our economy is based on supply and demand and to have it any other way is to create false inflation. =/

my suggestion to you personally would be if you can't sell something at a profit, don't restock it.  figure out what items you can sell easily and for profit and stick to those. (ie items you know quests ask for, not items no one has a need to go searching for.) falsifying the economy as you are suggesting isn't the answer.

i say let them stock it at any price they want. It's them that's loosing their money. I think everybody should be allowed to do what they want with their money.

if you're saying you can't make much money, nrocinu, i recommend you don't only rely on your shop to gain money. Save it up and invest in stocks. That's how most rich people become rich in the first place. There are other means of getting tu that are far better than using a little shop.

ok i see

the thing is that often phamacy and food is under prices and thats the items everyone needs, and i know ranchers have got the same "problem" but its much easy to set up something like a minimum price for buyable items than for creatus because the color an the name of a creatu are affecting the price

how ever if no one else think that my idea would make sense i will comply
