Jump Starting The Economy

  1. As for real life; if i dont know where my next pay cheque is coming from i aint spending money. A reliable way of earning coin (yes, I’d be willing to do a predictable amount of work for a fixed amount of coin) would see me spending it more freely.

  2. As a shop owner, i only need things when people buy my products, so see 1. On that note though, what people are willing to pay dictates what I’m willing to pay to buy stuff. My persisting pies sell at a price that justifies 70c for purple yams, so that’s what i buy at. They are easy to gather though, so i usually just do that as its more reliable. Same with teach pies and sweet beans at 23 each.

If stock doesnt sell, my buy price drops untill i dont get any in my baskets, then i remove my baskets to avoid being seen as an exploiter when the case is in fact low demand.

I hate farming orbs, so i regularly buy them- they maintain a high price because their products are in demand at prices that justify that. I try to keep my margins constant, so demand drives both prices favourably.

Back to 1, “if i had predictable income i’d spend” seems a common answer here. If people spent, I’d put coin in baskets. We dont need a cash injection, we could do with a few more methods of coin generation. (NB the actual amount generated is irrelevant, that just affects the price of items. The presence of any coin methods would stimulate buying)
