A Proudly eSouth African Initiative
Gambit LeBeau
I would like to make a proposal for a proudly eSouth African community.
The purpose behind this initiative is to help improve our country as a whole, as well as our economy, meaning, better salaries for employees at the end of the day.
To start off this initiative, we will begin small.
The way it will work:
Q1 food is first to take the plunge, well actually a raise.
- I would like to propose a recommended retail price of 0.10zar.
It may like a drastic increase, (double the current price), but it is a positive move for the country/economy.
I have personally contacted a few players currently selling Q1 food, and I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for raising your prices.
However, in order for this to work, we all need to play ball for the SAME SIDE.
So, if you see a player selling his produce at a lower price, please pm that player, asking them to raise their prices.
Your could also add the link to this article in your message.
Also, if employees could purchase their employers products, they are ensuring that their employers have funds to pay them salaries.
Why it will work:
I believe eSA is a close knit community, that has the best interests of the COUNTRY at heart.
Also, our current import tax model greatly increases our chances of success. The tax bracket for foreigners to sell on our markets is set at its highest.

Therefore we will see less importers selling in our market, opening up the opportunity for our local producers to sell on the market at a price that we decide. (0.10zar)
I have seen (as well as everyone else) the state of our country's finances
eSA Forum - Our Financial Records
Economy page
And the only way we can effectively sign MPP's, without having to invest RL money into this game, is to raise the prices on our markets.
Note: Plato is not going to do it for us. We need to do it for us.
Therefore I urge all players, sell your Q1 food product's at 0.10zar
Once we get this ball rolling, we can look at improving our prices elsewhere.

hey Mary, hows things?
do you think eCanada could also benefit from this idea..? you will have to pay me royalties though... ; p
It would be too much to coordinate, and it only takes one person with a lot of stock to drive prices back down again. Have you heard of the Helium Stick? (Google it.) That's what this will be like, except that there will be people with their own goals in mind rather than the community's.
but we must try something...

And then?
Only through a thorough application of macroeconomics can this country rebuild itself along with its currency.
Sounds like a proposal. Give me the details

good initiative. lets cross fingers that it works. but 0.1 isnt too expensive ?
i like this proposal and think it could work . will need to get a lot of players on board and just keep spreading the concept .
It would also help if you sold your products at the RRP.
Unfortunately like Mary Chan mentioned, all it takes is one person with a lot of stock to drive prices down (happening on the market now)
I love this idea though. If only people would think as a community.
Well it all starts with the individual player. If each player in eSA decides to support this, soon the whole community is involved.
What if my storage capacity is not big enough ?
Only sell what you dont use. The other option is to get more storage space... : p
Agreed and I will support it!
As long as we not only sell, but also buy at that price (if you buy at all) - Don't support the people who are not supporting this
