I'm broke, again! How do I make ccs?

---> That's my choices and decisions.

 

@SillyGuy

Someone was buying Albino Bats as I was writing. They were buying in lots of 60. So now I list 10 lots of 100 at about a 650% profit. I don't expect them to sell immediately but if they want them .... they got um!

I asked about Cuckoos in another thread and Frogs gave a price on her market of I believe 111. No such thing on this market anymore. Occasionally but not regularly. I cannot seem to get past 1.2 million and stay there. I have begun to turn them. This was financed by selling about 500,000 pheromones and taking profits. The quick profit margin is much much smaller with cuckoos and I am watching Dog and Moose prices. If prices move to 270 per Cuckoo or so then we will have different market.

When first buying Cuckoo I was clearing as many as 40 pages of Cuckoo offers at a time and for several days straight. Now I can only clear about 4-5 pages if I sign on once a day.

I don't think I will be raising any cuckoos.

 

@farmer_broke
111 for cuckoo?? Mine is higher than hers... I have no idea how much of the quantity that can be obtained from the value of it... But I'ld respect how she managed on the market..

Uhmm.. Albino Bat, I think I could sell it with a small batch. I still need it for another purpose.
Dog and Moose, I'm ready for them... Come on 'big pockets', come to Daddy..

Cuckoo, it is another story to make a score again...

 

This listing in lots of 100 stopped all Albino Bat trading as the market digests the offers. I agree that they can be sold in smaller lots. But dumping thousands I will be glued to the computer and it will take forever to do it. Okay you buy um from me in hundreds and you sell them in whatever size lots you want. hahaha I can't care what they do with them. All I can see is when one turns to Albino Bats there is a sudden volume change like someone is selling lettuce. hahaha

I watch Dog and Moose prices due to the exchange value. The exchange for Cuckoo is 153 while for Dog 450 and Moose 440. Sure, exchange is only one variable to consider. Today, the only use for Cuckoo is toward the animal trophy. The only use! So I am being very conservative here due to the quantity I am holding.

Sure there is a breeding event approaching. I would think that those anticipating massive breeding are holding a decent hidden supply. And if they need more? .... we both know the story.

Dogs are still being slowly gathered as before. Not playing around with dog feed with this market though. Here and there but nothing to speak of.

I know you will think this is a bit crazy but I have been gathering peaches and not as an item to donate. The gathering is a lot slower than I thought it would be too.

Moose I have gathered a few but I really want the product. Speaking of products, I checked and the number of cheese in inventory is becoming significant too. No sign of a short wait though but those producing are producing at a continuous loss.

And Parrott Feathers are real chancy. Very little there as barns are full of them. I view them as the junk of all products on the market. Upward price movement will be small even if Parrots turn to a breeding animal tomorrow and they won't. BUT BUT

If products are allowed to be submitted in the TOP 1000 then they become very important. The price to exchange is something to consider right along with tree fruit. And then there are eggs to consider too. As junky as tools to me.

 

SLOWLY but DEADLY.. I like your style, broke..!

If you're going to sell Albino Bats cost the same as lettuce, I would probably buy 'em all.. lol

There is no sweat to generate CC through market.. How nice you are! lol

 

@SillyGuy
<-- One of the broke farms.

It came to me why you would continue to hold Albino Bats. This farm was gathering for the same reason but I'm dumping them too in lots of 60. I have another plan. I'll explain when I get back to the broke farm. This farm can use the profit though. Not too much risk in dumping them though. They will ALL be a thing of the past.

 

Hi farmer_broke, this is your favourite number...

 

@penguilnz

You did it! I wonder how you feel. I don't feel so alone anymore. You can get your ccs again. I know it was tricky getting to exactly -0-. I'll send you a CAC tomorrow when gifts reset to help you on your way. Amazing.

@SillyGuy

Selling the Albino Bats is no problem for either of us. My case for selling is:

I was holding to donate if I did an event calling for breeding animals. Fine. Whatever I did not use I was going to sell anyway. But from past experience the profit from selling when a broad breeding animal call is not as great as it is now. Well we have to recover. I am selling with the intention of buying and I will buy brown pigs as the replacement. The exchange is 1300. Even if I were to buy for more than 1300 I cannot equal the profit gained from selling the Albino Bats now. AND, Albino Bat prices should fall back again IF there is no continued demand. Even if there is a continued demand one is still covered. I am buying immediately before others sense what is happening or will happen. Of course you know your market.

Better than the above is: The profit potential for the new investment (brown pigs in my case) is still nearly the same given a demand for breeding animals. You are most likely already holding more than you can use for an event anyway.

Speckled goat is another alternative. The exchange is 920. A call using them is overdue. I'm already protected there but will use the profits to acquire more. If indeed Albino Bats fall in price to below the exchange then I will circle back to acquire slowly.

If no complete market collapse there is no way to stop the profits from flowing. BUT I can stop myself if I do not invest at least a portion of the Albino Bat proceeds.

See any weakness in the plan?

The last call for goats did not balance sunflower, lettuce and hay prices. Include oat prices and the distortion is clear. I feel oats will have to be called for to balance prices also. Ignoring ep, why produce oats at all now and get a crop that is harder to sell than hay which takes less than half the time for the reward. I think I'll pick up a few more oats. I know how you hate fooling with crops.

 

@farmer_broke
lol broke.... You've read my mind perfectly!!
I am selling with intention of buying.. BINGO!

Thank you for your valuable tips. But I'm sorry, I'm not interested in selling Albino Bats at this time, instead of there is high demand of them right now..
I have another plans to do with them.. It is not about the PRICE TAG..

I don't see any weakness in your plan.. It's amazing!

Why you should buy oats? You can plant those junks in your farm... (just kidding)
I know it that market requires some adjustments.. And please, you can't fool me with crops.. If you may guess, why I pushed my confectionery, bakery, florist, and spa manager to produce in massive products! I've shown what I'm doing in other thread..

 

hard to find cuckoos under 125 now. i only have about 6k and my trophy still needs work but i will wait and see to decide. if price hits 200 i might sell, if i see them under 120 i buy now.
albino bats, i was buying them at 1k cc with the intentions of breeding at the start but found out i couldnt breed. with only 55 in stock i sold most yesterday at 4k cc and dumped the rest today at 8k cc.
brown pigs are a favourite of mine to buy, been selling some wooly and pot bellied pigs for decent profit. also been selling roaster and silky chickens for profit too. only a few to keep me afloat, trying to save as many as i can for bbd.
bio glue has steadily been dropping, seen it as low as 12-13k cc. made a couple bio glue factories with intentions of selling but now will keep them and use for fsq.

 

Albino bats are being sold for over than 12.000 CC. I have 209 from the cloud row.
Should I sell?

 

wow, they are holding at 10k cc on my market. just goes to show human nature. what people will pay to get something new. whats funny or sad is that most spent so much and got nothing in return.

 

Can anyone tell me what the 50% Country Coin bonus works on? Does it work on sales from the Market, Farmer's Society Quests and Farm Society Customers?

 

Did you win it on the farm wheel? If so it gives you +50% CC from any CC giving items you may have. Nothing else I am afraid

 

Yes, that's how I got it...farm wheel win. I was hoping it was better than that. Oh well.

 

I remember it used to be a good prize to get when most of the players used to have many CC giving items out in the fields.
(when items you can give from the daily gifts were able to be harvested infinite times)

 

I only have two that give CCs in my park. The one is the hookah goat from Renzo's Fair. The other is a "Nick Katt" that gives 10CC every 12 hours (you can laugh now). That was an extra that I got when I bought BBs once.

 

Hi Sewinglady I have about 20 CC Givers Sitting in my park. I did win a Feature to get 50% More CC on CC Givers. It Really a useless Feature they should remove from Farmerama Wheel as Many Farmers have not got any CC Givers in Their Parks or very few of them if if they are sitting in the clouds this Feature is useless.

My Shipwreck is Full of Bahm EP Givers so I move all the CC Givers I had into my Park since no need to level up so quickly any more. We Use to be About to Win 125,000 CC on the Wheel that has now been withdrawn for quiet a while now. If you win can crafts that you dont really need or use you can sell them in the Markets for CC

 

Red Bat Roosts. That seems to be the thing the party wheel likes to give me. So when I got that 24 hour CC thing, I thought WOW! Until I found out it's not really a wow.

Anyway, back on topic, have y'all checked your market prices for platypus this morning (well it's morning here)? Holy Cow! I was able to sell one for 75,000CC!!! They were at 80,000 and up when I checked, so immediately listed one and it sold in seconds.

Now they've started to come back down a bit, but are still in the high 60's and 70's. Is something coming up where we are going to need boatloads of platys? I bet it's one of the levels of that new quest - I haven't looked at it much.

 

Task 2 of Tour de Farm I, all three parts ask for platypus. 15, 20, 35 for a total of 70.
