Wholesale offer

Does anyone know how I accept the wholesale offer? There doesn't seem to be anything at the computer that does it, and nothing I try will give it to me

By pressing "P". I thought it showed up on the icon that popped up.

Why couldn't they put the wholesale offers on the computer where we shop?.... also where are the delivery options?

That would have made a lot more sense.

When you do a whole sale offer it disappears from you storage shelf. Just reorder more product.

But how do you actually get wholesale offers? Do I have to put anything up at my store?

I don't know what determines when you get offers. I got one for 72 Gratin on the first day I played after the patch and then never again.

was the wholesale offer the thing that looked like a shopping bag on the right side of the screen ? I saw something with a timer pop up but had no idea how to "accept" it

Wholesale offers appear randomly I have seen - perhaps a couple of in-game time days between each one but each offer is random in product and volume to buy/sell. Never seem to have the stock at the time (so far) for the wholesale offer when it appears though :/. I did wonder what that 'random pop-up' with the circle timer was when I first saw it.

I do agree with everyone - this 'Wholesale Offer' should appear on the shop PC with maybe a notification on the screen for the player. Maybe something that says 'You got a Promo Offer - check your PC email' or something like that...

Are they always good deals, I can't memorize all the prices to know if it's worth it or not.

I think it's meant for a quick payout. You'll lose potential profit because they're buying in bulk, but you get it all at once.

I had one for 72 Gratin paying out at I believe 342 dollars. I had them set to 5 dollars a piece so I maybe lost out on 18 dollars if I'd have left them in the store for customers to buy. I still made profit off the sale.

Edit: I believe the offer tells you what the market price is and what you have it set to normally, so you should have all the information in front of you.

Why? That sounds way worse. Right now, you can read the offer wherever you are when it shows up and it pauses the game until you make a decision. Why would you ever want to have to race to the PC before it expires?

If it was recorded on the PC it probably wouldn't need to expire at all, but having it there and/or somewhere on the tablet would make wholesale buying a lot more practical. That way you can maybe have a meaningful decision during the restocking process.

I've only seen one prompt so far, very unimpressed by it. As others have noted, it asked me to sell a number of stock that the game has given me no reason to hold on to (160 veal IIRC). I never sell more than 64 of these a day so I just don't keep that many. That left me with no interaction but to decline (there are no percentage deals).

Looking at the details provided; it was a good couple of hundred less, for all the product, than I could get if I just sold it in the store over a few days. And I only have a +3% markup on my items too. As also stated, this just seems to be a way to make some kind of profit, quickly. It's so far away from what the game needs to balance it appropriately, and with the way things currently are, it does nothing to properly prepare you to take advantage of it either.

---------------------------------

Just an idea besides you have plenty of time to access/select the wholesale offer when it appears on screen. When the game developers introduce 'online orders' will they go through the PC? Perhaps. So why not combine the two mechanics? If I am wrong, and they don't end up doing this, no problem with me as I like the game and how it has developed since its creation on Steam.
