This has been the main problem with eReponomics since V1

they could solve by setting a minimum price like it happens (without reasons) regarding the company for sale market.

Se fanno qualcosa di conveniente l'ecomonima morirebbe ancora più in fretta, cerca di capire.

I usually set my selling prices at what I'd like to think is a decent ROI for my time here. Then I let my offer sit at the marketplace until the fluctuation wave passes through my selling price and I get what I wanted. It doesnt get me the greatest ROI but at least I wont get out with a deficit!

true but this means that you have two choices: 1) spend tons of cc in production without havin a prompt return 2) produce once every xx days keeping your factories unproductive and so doing freezing your initial capital. The same happens for the trading business: i bought 2k q7 @14cc per unit because the previous months the avarage price was around 18, now i'm still waiting to obtain at least an break even point since 4 months but in the meanwhile i have thousands of cc frozen without a true hope to reach my minimum ROI = 0%

I usually go for the first option for a couple of reasons:
1) I'll usually have a higher average profit setting my price before-hand than adjusting my prices accordingly to the market on a daily basis.
2) to keep selling daily or almost daily, at a profit, I would have to micro-manage my employees salaries, thus requiring me to log in longer than I do now. By using my methods I've been able to pay wages lower than the job market's(I have this guy working EVERYDAY for the past month or so for 18 USD, dunno why he does it. but he's there.

of course sometimes I'm out of workers and can't produce, but.. meh. it's so frustrating to see such f'ed economic module that I can't/won't be bored to care.
at least like this every couple of weeks I get to sell a bunch of products and get a chunk of money that I invest in my companies or in trading.

I would have expected the price of q7w to go up as the average salary went up over $10 per day, but so far the q7w prices have fallen more. Anyone have an idea as to why?

simple, as long as there is no tournemt the housing business aint worth it, wages went up because off the houses..
Now that the system failed (so far) wages are dropping again.
Entrepreneurs are again heading back to the most profitable factories beeing, FRM,WRM and q7 ...
Which causes those prices to not inflate like expected but continue to fall cause there's more offer then demand...
Only thing that will cause a boom is a new tournement like the world cup.... .
Otherwise it doesnt look good for economics and the game...

Well, actually the world cup (the biggest tournment ever, two weeks in a row!) has driven up the price only for the 10% compared to the x4 times influence dmg done for bh and together with the last weekly with a lot of recovery energy! so i cannot belive that the production of q7 it's increased at this level, i think something is canghed in the users stocks so everyone prefer to sell under costs(without knowing it as explained up in the article) to gain fast cc.

well how many articles/tools are there atm regarding food/weapon industry, most entrepreneurs are aware off what is profitable... q7 is stil looking for a market price until other markets become more profitable then q7.
Besides there's 1 big problem whit economy, people who have money and companies gain money faster then people who start out for exemple... The rich get richer creating a larger gap between rich and poor every day...
Rich can produce more and more daily making profit in terms off amounts selling, not because off the price they ask... .
So kinda logic prices drop...

I love stupid people.
