Sugar and spice.... its not very nice

I'm on level 51 and have the same problem. 

EA have handicapped Global Trade HQ to make players buy Simcash out of frustration. 

They should rename the game to Simcity Sugar & Spice, or maybe Simcity Burgers and Fries.

Frustrating. Whatever the reason is, this issue is annoying as f#@% and breaks the game. A basic rule of quota per type of product displayed could solve this sh@#%.

Sorry but my language reflects my feeling.

Let’s not give sugar & spice all the credit, cheese fries, gnomes and burgers are just as offensive

I think everyone in the game needs to vow to never make sugar and spices🤞 if we all stop and just buy what's on the market when we need we can unsaturate the market, also dont make them even for the mayor's quest because they suck 👌... until then the best work around is a feeder account or work with your club to get the stuff you need, if you talking expansion, everyone in the club must get divided into different expansion groups, for example 1 group of people will collect all the expansion items for storage for 1 week while the other group collects all the land expansion e.t.c so it helps build expansions faster for everyone since it's so hard to find them in the market but everyone must be actively working together

Goodluck👍

@sachinnaid58 I’ve played this game for a week or so and have simply learned not to count on the global market for rare items or anything out of the ordinary...that being said when you complete an assignment and fill up your storage with excess material you are going to sell it regardless... it’s not a logical economic reason for folks to produce sugar & spice just to sell - ties up valuable production space for an extended time frame for little return. @bettysadog is absolutely correct, there are many items that tend to fill the global market. The most aggravating for me are hamburgers which are produced strictly for Daniel to buy. I proposed before and will again change the length of time before Daniel buys the item to five days and only at 50% of the requested value, after all this is a planning and management game. That should by default help cleanup the global market.

If you need something my advice is visit cities through the global market and open every conversation bubble as well as everyone in your city...it’s amazing at what you’ll get including rare and useful items. My best advice is to join a supportive and helpful club where all you need to do is ask and if someone has the item they’ll share, but you need to be prepared share in return. Good luck.

Well-said, Pinnacle. Can’t count on global market solely to get the rare stuff.

I used to complain about sugar and spices, burgers and fries flooding the global market. But now that I had gotten used to it, I actually don’t mind the predictability of global market since this means that I do not need to stock up on sugar (except when there’s no CoM), burgers, fries, etc. I definitely don’t want to produce burgers since it is not cost efficient to do so. So it’s good that I can easily buy them from market when I need them.

@J6niceL  Hi J6, you’re absolutely correct...I do the same thing purchasing the less cost effective long run items that are predictably in the market. They come in handy when you get one of these “neighboring” city requests (only if the math works which you know in less than 5 seconds) and when you need something quickly to complete a CoM assignment they’re available. Sadly Sugar & Spice pops up a lot as an assignment and I sell the excess, but mine never sits, the reason is I sell it a price that represents value and turn my depot over. That’s really the problem with some players, they are so focused on the insignificant stuff and are missing out on a practical economic model that utilized correctly and understood could actually positively impact their real lives. Take care my friend.
