@Donut and Watch sellers

Well, my beautiful Excel file is not happening, so this hideous text will have to do. 

Notice each item 5 numbers. The first number is the TOTAL TIME it takes to build that item, including all components of that item.

The second and third numbers you already know, they are the base and max price that it sells for in the trade depot.

The fourth and fifth numbers are the PRICE PER TIME for each item. In other words, if you produce that item, how much money do you make per minute of time you put in making it.

As you can clearly see, selling donuts and watches is just stupid, as the only give around 1 coin per minute.

On the other hand, selling nails yield 11 per minute, hammers give 5 per minute, measuring tape, shovels, chairs, and tables all give around 3.5 coins per minute. These are all good items to make and sell.

When I look through Global Trade HQ, all I see is donuts and watches. Wall to wall idiots. Even if Daniel buys them at full price, you are still not making as much as you could be if you were to sell more efficient items. So stop selling these useless items and learn to craft something else.

    Nice info!

    I think the reason we see so many donuts and watches for sale is that they're looking at the return per Trade Depot slot, 10 donuts at 9,500 x available slots (10 watches about 5800) but to get the same cash infusion for a full depot of nails, even though time and effort expense is more efficient, similar income results would require a LOT more slots and a lot more interactions to keep the queue full even if buyers are hot for them.

    If Daniel refused to buy them think that may fix the glut?
