Managing My Iron Monger Stall

 

When you enter the stall you can check the building records.  This will give you a quick overview of what has happened recently.

 

Go to trade commodities.  Look at the current prices for iron and wood.  Check our prices compared to them.

 

Check our inventory.  If iron or wood are less then half of the maximum amount to be stocked  then modify our price to as high but not higher than what others are trading that commodity for.  If our inventory is over the half way point then the price should be one point for iron and two points for wood less than the highest trading value.

 

Check the current prices of cannon balls in the trade commodities to make sure we are in line with what others are selling them for.  We always want to be the same price as the highest that others are buying them for and no less than the lowest that others are selling theirs for.

 

Check manage orders.  We always want to have at least eight hours of work in the queue.

 

If there is less than eight hours worth of orders waiting to be worked on the review our inventory of cannon balls.  Place orders for some.  We don’t need to order lots of them but we could have some of each.  Small cannon balls sell the fastest but get us less profit.  Medium sell a little faster than large and we get more profit from either of these two sizes.

 

When you place orders the tax comes out of your money so withdraw that amount from the coffers to cover it.  When the order is completed then you are to deliver it to our inventory.

 

You may also place orders a head of time to stock a ship that you will be using.  Since this is for personal use then you must pay for the taxes yourself and half the price of the order.  In other words if you were to place an order for small cannon balls and they cost 100 poe plus 25 poe in tax (I’m making these numbers up) then you would pay the 25 tax and half of the 100, or 50.  This will give you a big discount and help you if you use a sloop going in and out of this island.
