Pandy's House of Fun is selling Bartender Skulls for only 11250. This is almost half price. Add a box and a spring and you have a full Bartender in a Box.

I'll resell to anyone who wants one for 10K. In the meantime, I need BOXES. Making them into Bartender-skull-in-the-box doubles the value.

I still got one. I need a 668 scroll *cringe* so I can keep visiting the Hermit for free. That's if, are jabañero pepper good sellers? (Never mind, read your message)

Boxes I'm accumulating the old-fashioned way, but venturing through the Fun House.

The jabaneros are great for mixing up the insanely spicy enchanted bean burritos, which sell incredibly well. That's my next stop after I stock up on boxes, to pick some of those babies up. I'm going to warehouse most of my bartender-skull-in-the-box's so as to not depress the market, and use those for a steady trickle of revenue. Ideally, I'll double my money and start moving back up.

Thats a good idea. I think I will hold on to mine as well and only release a few every couple of days. The market seems very volatile recently.

If you still need boxes, I have 12 of them.

Damn, Bartender-in-the-box, is selling for the same as bartender-skull.

That's probably because most people just look for bartender skulls rather than type out bartender-skull-in-the-box or bartender-in-the-box.

Thanks for the heads up. Ironically, the bartender-skull-in-the-box is running at 23k right now, while the bartender skull runs at 22k. So hold off on those boxes for the moment.

Define irony.

Irony is getting a hurry and deciding to go buy a couple of meat stacks at the mall with Booze Factory. Hit the search, what comes up on top? Petro's Leftovers, which happens to have a half dozen meat stacks left.

So Booze Factory pays Petro 400 for two meat stacks and goes on his merry way.

Paying attention to the Flea Market is a good thing to do. I bagged a lot of boxes for less than a 1000 meat. It goes the same for Chef's hat which I just got my fifth one there for 350.

In recognition of their services to the clan, Soontir and The Dark have both received promotions to Knight. Likewise, Mayabird has been promoted to Master.

The change to the Mall destabilized the market. And banjo strings deflated by 99% today for some reason...

Sprockets are selling at a premium today, at an average PPU of 459. Ice cold beer is up to 341, although that's gotta be inflated by donations. Star starfish are going for about 2000 a pop. Boris' Key Lime is 10k (higher than Boris' Key Lime Pie). The clockwork item-makers-in-a-box are selling for good prices (100-200k). Potions of Temporary Gr8ness are going for just under 12k each. Uncle Jick's Brownie Mix is going for 8k, which seems oddly high.

With regards to the Boris's Key Lime matter, I've noticed that a lot of ingredients sell for roughly the same price or even slightly more than the finished products, probably because most people look to the ingredients first under the assumption that they'll be cheaper.

For example, I pulled my current stock of Bartender-skull-in-the-box because the price had dropped below the line for Bartender skulls. And hell, that's not even the finished product, just an intermediate stage.

The interface for the mall is kind of clunky vis a vis price searching and so on, which makes for an odd market.

YAY! Thanks for the promotion!

As for the prices, I'd noticed generally that items generally get slightly cheaper on the weekends (maybe because people are dumping their stuff on the market), but since the changes in the mall are still new it's just weird currently.

Go to "KATER'S PERSONAL PROVINCE" in the mall quick! He's selling fuzzbumps for 230 meat each and Hell Ramen for 122 meat each!

Damn one-sale limit. Oh well, all three characters got one, at least.

Okay, now, who's got a Pastamancer? Dark, isn't Darth Ragu a Pastamancer?

If so, we can collaborate on some production here...

Yeah, sorry I didn't mention the one sale limit, but it's still a hell ramen that's 8000 meat cheaper than normal.

Real reason for this post - maybe we should make a listing somewhere of who is in what class. It'd help to know at a quick glance who can make noodles or cast buffs or make chrome weapons of goodness or whatever.

If everyone will note their profession in the roster thread, I'll edit that in.

No, The Dark is Pastamancer (but can't create noodles yet). Darth Ragu is the Sauceror. LowMainMan is the Pastamancer I've been working with.

Well, finally got my store up and running. Great Boo's Up.

Now I just need to get those pesky ingredients to restock the booze.
