Sim city built it economy

Why is it that the individual can't set the price for their own goods. Take a page out of Adam Smiths book wealth of nations and allow the user to set the price for any given product. This would drastically improve the trading HQ and unabashedly reduce users clicking on an item, only to find it's been previously sold. Furthermore, if you're going to continue to fix prices at least block off countries into their own trading conglomerates, or impose some type of tax on commodities when trading between them. This 'need for speed' trading set up you have adopted isnt very efficient and leaves for a poor user experience. I'm not asking for the ability to create a dark market and fleece the sims community, just a simple pragmatic view on trading and economics. Thanks.

    I think you are a little confused. Prices on the markets aren't fixed. I always up my prices to the max and they can be chaged from insanely high to insanely low. Now the tapping on an item to find it already sold is a problem. What we need is a one click buy method. When we click on the item in the global hq it needs to finalize the purchase there without going to the city. And truly the reason for going to the city is non existant, all we can do in the city is buy, because there is no social interaction like tap on their shops to gain social points and knock 3 seconds of their queued items or something similar like other games. Next piece of advice consolidate you mentioned fixed prices 6 times in about 10 sentances and that is redundant so my tip is to be concise and not write the same thing 3 different ways since it doesn't "prove or enhance" your point.

    The prices ARE Fixed the most you can sell 1 chair for is 300 gold, a hammer, 90 and so on that my friend is called price fixing. I don't know what world you're living in but that's not insanely high. I think you need to review what you're talking about before you respond to someone.

    And further the opening line isnt a rhetorical question...it's an actual questoln. The next line is a solution. I mention it a 3rd time as a means to keep the system as is with an alternate solution. You're a poor critic. Go give dreadful advice to someone else.
