In appreciation (dot dot dot)

(dot dot dot) here is a little gift from me to you all.

So the votes have been tallied and verified and I have been elected into congress for the first time in my life here in eSA. Thank you to the three people in the North West who voted for me and to mulderpf for the guidance and the IA party for their support. Really, your camaraderie is inspiring.
I'm surprised I didn't have to bribe anyone with cake!

Anywho...I decided as my first good deed as congressman, I shall share some information that should make life for the average eSA'n more comfortable.

Get your popcorn and take a seat... (don't touch the cake, it's MINE)

I won't beat around the bush and waste your time. Though initially, I wrote a very lengthy article, I realized it was too long and most of you wouldn't read it.

So in short...
The new bot prices for eSA are:

Weapons
Q1 - 6.70 ( 5.98 after tax)
Q2 - 13.40 (12.06 after tax)
Q3 - 20.10 (17.95 after tax)
Q4 - 26.80 (23.93 after tax)
Q5 - 33.50 (29.92 after tax)

Food
Q1 - 0.65 (0.58 after tax)
Q2 - 1.30 (1.16 after tax)
Q3 - 1.95 (1.74 after tax)
Q4 - 2.60 (2.32 after tax)
Q5 - 3.25 (2.90 after tax)

RAW - 0.30

Q6 is just not profitable, no one has prices low enough for you to be able to buy and sell at a profit. But the bot price would be Q1*6.

If you buy and sell all items on the market, you will realize that your net profit can easily be over 1g a day. Although the more starting capital you have - the more goods you can buy - the more goods you can sell - the more profit you make.

For some of you rich folk, that's peanuts, but for the average eSA'n, it's a big payoff.
1g can buy you enough food and Q6 weapons to fight at max damage for most of the day. Or you can save it and build and upgrade your buildings - produce more goods - sell more goods - make more money - buy more gold - continue the snowball effect...eventually becoming self-sustainable.

Also, the more the bot buys from us all, the more taxes go to eSA, everybody wins!

Things to remember:
1. The bot buys at the 51st minute before every hour. It goes through the countries in alphabetical order.
2. The bot buys from you even if you don't sell at the cheapest price. As long as your price is not more than it's max buy price.
3. The more stock you put up for sale, the more the bot will buy.
4. Initially, work on upgrading your storage so you can build a bigger stock inventory.
5. Don't travel unnecessarily, sometimes it works out cheaper to buy goods where you are than to hunt down cheaper prices in another country.
6. Set a min profit limit for each item you sell and stick to it. You can adjust it every few days but don't stress yourself out and spend so much time trying to find the cheapest prices. Just make your profit and be happy. (Speaking from experience)
7. This is just a game.
8. I like cake!

I hope this was helpful and that more of you start making more money, enabling you to train more, fight more and enjoy this game more.

I'll publish another article soon with detailed figures and fancy calculations, and maybe pics... (if that will get your attention)

A small country like ours needs to take advantage of every opportunity we get. So jump on the bandwagon and don't get left behind!

K9 out...
