    I recently visited the market to buy manure. Only 1 order there of 600 for sale. I had 11 in my barn so I tried to sell 5 of them @$75. The site would only allow me to sell them at $53 (the price for the ONE & ONLY available was for sale 600 @$59) I am confused by this. If I wanted to sell it for $2 or $200 why cant I set my own price? Or was this just a glitch?

    Hi Scarlett, :)

    I'm not a Mod here, but I love to help answering your question.
    That was not a glitch. You may sell manure +50% over maximum price (+75% over maximum price with a rune on the Tree of Wisdom).

    To understand how market works, I suggest you may read the {FAQ} Farmer's Market first.
    If you have any futher questions, you may ask again here...
    I believe MODS would welcome to help you again..

    Thankyou SillyGuy for your assistance, that is correct.

    The rune on the Tree of Wisdom allows you to sell goods at 75%.

    Can I assist you further Scarlett?

    Right now there are 16 separate groups of manure for sale all priced the same $66. I can only sell it for a maximum of $57 which is 50% of the recommended market price shown of $38. Thank-You for explaining. But where does the $38 figure come from? It's not an average when clearly the market only has it 16 groups for sale all priced at $66.

    I'm sorry to butt in again after a Mod intervene... (do not mean to hijack the thread :oops:)

    I quoted the information from {FAQ} Farmer's Market.
    The recommended market price shown of 38 CC/unit,
    So that the maximum price : 38 + ( 50% of 38 ) = 38 + 19 = 57 CC/unit.

    You may sell a manure up to 57 CC/unit (at maximum price).

    However, the market price always change dynamically (increase/decrease), depends on buying and selling behavior in periodic time. The recommended market price will change as well as the maximum price.

    As explained, you can either sell at 50% of the base price or 75% with the rune. The base price is set by the system. Prices rise and fall due to demand and supply. You may find some Market advice in the Game Strategy threads.

    Can I assist the OP further?
