Discussion about Stalls

[Steve]

Someone told me - and I have no idea whether it's right - that all stalls belong to a small number of people, people that were amongst the first to get access to iron bars and made that much profit from being the first that they bought all the stalls, so that nobody else could undercut the prices.

True or False? I don't know.

I know for certain one of the early trade "empires" owns two stalls and only bothered to stock one. It seems logical that others would have bought stalls as well, and 3 stalls have never had any items for sale that I know of. My complaints about this as a valid mechanic to reduce competition between traders is likely where those rumours came from in part at least.

I was wondering how to get a hold or finding out whom owns them. I bet their quite useful. They should have time limits on the stalls and you have to pay a tax or rental fee on them, this way players have a shot at taking turns so if someone goes inactive the stall opens up to others.

to be honest though, the stalls that have stuff arn't exactly stocked with much either. Usually just over priced iron.

One guy seems to be trying to do basic food stuff but such small supply.

Want to get one going with real food stuff & inspirationals etc.

IF anyone has any leads to someone they know who owns one I would pay for that info too (ingame silver ofcourse:P)

Do they, but it takes a while.

I know 3 stalls owned by individuals that are resupplied regulary. They were amongst the first to claim stalls. A regular complaint I hear from them is the sales cap (silver) which prevents the stall from trading further if it goes uncollected and reaches the max. Happens rather quickly if you sell a lot of iron products.

Not sure what happens if one doesn't pay the weekly rent. I guess no one is prepared to take the risk.

Iron isn't overpriced really. If you make your own then you can't really argue with that.

I make tons of iron.. even buying the raw materials selling bars around 175 would be 50% or more profit.... not that that is a bad thing for business.

What is the trading cap droj?

It's not that iron is overpriced... I think coal and lime is a bit underpriced. I think base grade iron will end up being 40-50s as the server activity picks up and good quality stuff will end up at the 300+ silver mark and higher.

Wouldn't be surprised if items get ate.

They raised the silver holding capacity of the stalls...I believe they can hold 100k silver now.
