Automatic Buy / Sell price?

[mOrbidlyObese]

Does this feature actually work to benefit you? it seems like it always offsets by 1 so buying for example at 50 and selling for 51? but for everything on automatic. Manager is a 4 star.

ive never actually tried to do it this way before where I make a "Trading hub" with a bunch of storage with buy and sell orders and basically just buy for cheap and sell for high. but it seems like you have to manually set the buy price or else it just sells for 1 credit higher? or is it just a weird number they put that doesn't actually mean anything

These values are upper (for buying) and lower (for selling) bounds for the prices that your manager will actually get.

You should base this decision on what do you want you station to accomplish. For example, if you want this station to simply produce some ware to ship to another station of yours, then autoprice works fine. But, if you want your station to supply a number of npc stations so that they'll always have materials for their own production, then it's better to set a fixed selling price (e.g. the average).

One relevant note: this autoprice is based on the stations own stock, it has nothing to do with the ware's availability in the larger universe.

Im just trying to make profit by buying low cost and selling high on random common stuff. there isnt a need for anything just yet lol im trying to be cheaty and make easy money if that makes sense?

Okay, so you want to make your station into a trade station?

Easy enough: use the trade filter in the map screen to see what's being sold cheaply and bought with high prices. Then set your station to buy and sell these wares at prices you got from the trade info. Some adjustments may be needed as prices in the universe will vary with supply and demand. Don't forget to assign some trade ships to the station so that you don't have to rely on npc traders!

Edit: don't build any production modules in this sort of station as they'll screw up the other trades.

Add this mod and fly your ship into a war zone with hop, sadly they aren't re occuring.

But the first time should be enough to get you a corvette.
