First of all I would like to thank everyone who subscribed, for my Media Mogul Medal!
This time I give you the English version of this guide as well, please forgive me for my bad English tough. It's still in beta stage so please notify me about errors and such so I can improve the next version.

Also read my Beginners guide to Erepublik and Business guide for beginners.

How to import rawmaterials off the market
In these times of war you often find that the prices of raw materials rises a lot. So that is why my next guide will be about importing raw materials, how to find the cheapest raw materials and other tips to make you business more successful.

- How can you keep the profit margins if you pay much more for your raw materials then your competitors?

Find the cheapest raw material
The first remedy is to find which country has the lowest price in the raw material you are seeking.
Here is how you will find the cheapest raw materials, it is also possible to search for weapons, food, houses, and another function lists salaries and other cool stuff:

http://ereptools.pl/market/raw Ereptools.pl
http://erepublik.ws/tools/products Erepublik.ws

Remember to visit the country's marketplace first so you can see that the indicated offer(s) remains.
They are not updated directly so someone else might have been there before you and cleaned it out.
It will pay off to check this on a regular basis, you'll quickly learn what prices are normal and when they are extra low.

Move your organization
In order to buy raw materials in other countries markets, you must have an organization in that country.
If you have your company on your personal account, you must first start your organization, then you can choose to start it in the country you intend to buy from (saving you a moving ticket).

To move your organization, it's enough to just buy a Q1 Moving Ticket and then go into:
Profile&gt; Change residence&gt; select country + region.
The region does not matter since you can access the market from all regions of the country. If the country you intend to move into, are at war with your country, you'll need to buy two tickets. Then move to a country that is not at war with yours and then move to the country you intend to buy the raw materials in.

An organization's account can be freely moved around without and complications with the companies in the account.

Buy the raw materials and donate them to your company
Once you moved your organization to the country you intend to buy the raw material in you can start the process.
Normally, you have 20 inventory slots in your organization, so make sure you clear the goods you may have there.

Then you buy 20 units of the cheapest raw material (price divided by Q to see what will be cheapest Q-price).
Then, open a new window with the company you intend to donate to and click Donare raw materials (see picture).


Then drag each item into the boxes below and press the Donate (see picture).


Repeat this until you have donated as mush as intended. You will quickly realize that this will be very time consuming in the case of larger quantities. But there is a good program that you can download that automatically repeats mouse movements, the program called Do it againand can be downloaded here.

In that program you can save a macro that automatically repeats the movements and clicks you make, to purchase and donate the raw material. Then you can have a beer and relax while it's done for you

Several organization accounts
As you browse the global markets you will soon realize that there are big profits to be made here.
However, the global markets, currencies, and so on, can change rather quickly so you may need to move your organization a lot.
Or, you simply start several organizations and place them in the countries that usually has the cheapest prices. That way you will always be able to get the best prices without having to buy Moving tickets and move around.

my only suggestion is that we all should consider the economic effect of buying from an enemy country. pure profit does not care where it comes from, but patriotism might temper that aspect of doing business.

Jack: Traveling abroad in order to bring cheap products home is not importing?

Doug Mckenzie Day 636, 19:25

its smuggling. Which is a far more useful form of importing.



Is there a limit to how many organizations you can start off one account?

Lyberace Day 636, 21:45

yes, there is a limit: take your gold amount and divide it by 5. That is your temporary limit. When you get some extra gold, divide it by 5 and there you have another 1 or 2 more orgs.

In other words, there are no limits
