Buying the Market - Introduction
Stan Brown
Hello all and welcome to Buying the Market, your trusted source for any news regarding eRepublic's constantly shifting marketplace.
This is the first article of my lovely newspaper and I hope for this to be a successful project for all of us. What I'll be doing here is posting weekly updates, each Monday, on changes in pricing for most of the items at the marketplace and on the monetary exchange rates. On the first Monday of each month, I'll give an overview of the entire past month in addition to the past week's changes. The prices that I will be reporting are an average of the prices found on the first page available for each item.
As this is the very first issue of Buying the Market, I'm unable to compare this week's prices to any predecessor. The market's current standings are provided below.
Fun Fact of the Day
As they stand right now, Moving Ticket prices are rather nonsensical. The least expensive of all the tickets are Q5 tickets, the highest quality, while Q1 tickets are the 2nd most expensive, after Q4.

Good info thank you!
Thanks for reading 🙂
It's easy to understand why Q5 ticket prices are so cheap - they give them away as awards for the weekly challenge.
So there's a pretty high supply of Q5 tickets. Some players use them but enough others don't use them or at least enough of them that the market is saturated for those who need to buy tickets. So the price falls. All the other tickets seem to merely be the leftovers of a bygone age.
This is an excellent explanation. Thanks for commenting!
Good start, dude. If you want, a suggestion: do it in tables. It'll hep too much to enrich your paper.
Congrats!
Good job.
Keep it up.
