I can make anywhere from $1-$6 per resell of bushel if I resell on private for $35 and buy everything lower. If I stock bushels and resell on public, I can artificially push prices higher to dump my stock in the high 30s or 40s (i did this in previous sets, but not this set). I'm not sure how much I resold, but couple 100m bushels for sure. Easily.
On tech, I was selling initially around mid 3ks and then realize I could actually sell mid 4ks. (Hessman was selling at high 8ks. lol) I started stocking around turn 600 last set and teched ~1000 turns, so it's not just my tpt, but how fast I got there and how long I teched. I'm guessing most people started stocking and teching way later.
The two things above got me close to $50m nw.
1 military resell = bot buyout. This gave me $16b more to jump from 30m nw. This was a big hail mary play as I wasn't sure if I was able to spend the money but Hessman (who ended second) had more land and tech, so I had to take a risk to beat him.
I'm generally very lazy with reselling and destocking, so I use standing orders for everything. I was surprised I managed to blow all my remaining stock pretty quickly. I got desperate towards the end and raised the prices of my standing orders (and people started selling at the max price of my orders) - I prob should've just stayed at the lower prices and maybe break 70m nw. There was still quite a bit of military on public when the set ended.
Wasn't a perfect set either - earth quakes galore and I ran outta food multiple times batch teching.
Also, how are you seeing this EE records thing now? lol am I playing this on hard mode by just sticking to the in-game market 'History'?
