What to buy/sell?

[Sandy]

Which items are cheaper to buy than produce? What items should I overproduce for selling?
Does any of this change during game stages?

[Sagi]

the most important thing you must now is that everything you sell and buy at your warehouses will go at the worst possible pricing.
Meaning that buying and selling at other (computer) players warehouses goes at the best possible pricing so always do that whenever you can.

Npc traders are a diffrent story everything you buy and sell at their harbours also goes for the worst possible pricing EXCEPT for the goods they demand in red.
Those go at the best possible pricing.
So try to overproduce the goods they want and sell it to them for big profits. They don't change their offer like other players do.

Selling ships are also a great way to make alot of money

Thank you, that is good to know.
Sometimes I wonder if it would be better to just buy steel beams instead of producing them?

Also, which ships would you reccomend to sell?

When a trader is wanting some item (for example fur coats) look at the AI player islands and you may find that they are selling fur coats for a fraction of what the Traders will pay for it. I can often get a million + just slowly trading fur coats between AI and Trader AI.
