Noooooooooooo!!!!! (Mall related)

[The Dark]

Minimum price at malls is now either 100 Meat or double the item's autosale value, whichever is higher. So much for 10 Meat sales .

[B4UTRUST]

FUCK!

No more cheap Phonics Down for me...I am sooo hosed. Cheapest you can get it is 450. I hope they start raising the meat drop % to accomodate this.

[Josh]

God is this ever going to create a logjam of 100 meat items.

[B4UTRUST]

this royally blows. I'm to new and inexperianced to gain a buttload of meat every day that is required to buy the basic useables that I do constantly, such as beer and Boris's Key Lime Pies

I find myself at Cob Knob's Treasuring level. Some turns give out treasure chests with meat as high as 500. Still not a lot compare to what Petro and the rest are getting, but it's better than the meager slops we get fighting the monsters.

Speaking of the mall, just thinking about it...

Josh, are you going to be able to undercut people in your store now? I mean if everything has to be sold for 2x it's sale price or 100 whichever is higher then this might put you out of business, or seriously hurt it...

[Josh]

Not so long as I stick to the reasonably high-end items with grotesquely inflated values. For example, the Balloon Swords were selling at 4k+ over the weekend, though the price plummeted like a rock and they're now down to 400. (Fortunately I'd managed to unload most of my inventory before then.)

I make very few of my sales on the truly low-cost items anyway. I'm cherrypicking the high value stuff, so it's not going to affect me. In fact, I managed to unload some stock that I'd picked up at Boozerbear's for a pretty nifty little profit, since I don't limit any of my goods to one a day or any such. (Mostly that's a bulk buy protection mechanism, and since I don't keep any stocks in enough bulk to really care if somebody buys me out and then ups the price, I'm cool if that's the game they want to play. The profits are damned marginal on that end.)

[Josh]

On second thought, advertising might just pay off in this environment.

*glances as shiny new #16 ranking in advertising budget out of seven thousand stores.*

Now when they want the bloody beer, they'll be coming to Petro's.

[Josh]

40,000 in sales in the past six hours.

Yeah, I think I'm doing fine, even with the half-mil I dropped on advertising.

[Josh]

Need... more... beer...

Just had a buyer grab my whole stock of 214 for 100 apiece.

170k in seven hours.

[Anonymous]

Ye GODS Petro.

[Josh]

Weeeeeeeeell... off the sales of base items alone, I covered my half mil in advertising and tossed in another hundred k profit, which is nice. For the first time in a while I'll actually be making a deposit in the old closet instead of a withdrawal.

And in other news, I bought an Imitation Nice Watch for like 90K a few weeks ago, and just resold it for 850k.

They're starting to catch onto the advertising gig- I've slid down a couple of notches in the rankings, and when the ad funding is square rooted this Sunday I'll be knocked out altogether, but we mades us some money in the meantime. I figure I'll be able to unload another 200K worth of merch by Sunday, so long as I can keep cranking out the Star Throwing Stars.

(Damn the stupid Cake Shaped Arena for stopping with the flow of Targeting Chips. Those things were raking in 7K apiece.)
