Pricing

[Luna]

i have updated the OS 2.0 and can now calculate the prices automatically. unfortunately this only works with a % markup. does the game really work like this i had the impression that you can mark up low prices % more and high prices % less? thanks

The Mart OS 2.0 is not for pricing it is for store and storage management. You unlock it with 7 Franchise Points on the management board. If you pick up an IPad (below the management board), you will notice that you now see how much space is reserved for each product by holding the IPad over it. Than you can order as much as you like or have capacity for it.

However, for pricing you would like to build a pricing machine for $ 90,000 it is expensive, but worth its money if you reach a lot of products. There you can setup the prices as you like in % on top of the purchase price. The customer won't accept prices over twice as much as the purchase price. In early game a good way to solve this is to double purchase price and add an buffer of $ 0.1. For example: you purchase for $2 then you would sell for $ 3.9 ( ($2 x 2) - 0.1). With the pricing machine set it to 199 % and run it every Thursday or after unlocking new products.
