Math issues?

[grundoko]

There are 980 people that want to buy hashish for $5,889
I have 33.28 pounds.

Logic would cause me to believe
5889*33.28 = 195985.92

But, the game says; Sell all the hashish on you for $34,418

What's up with that?

supply and demand, you sell it all and it will flood the market, making the price go down. Selling it all at once does this very quickly, put it in a dope house so that it sells over 20 hours and you'll get the street price plus the extra 10% dope house bonus.

Alright, now own up...Are you a 6-year or a 7-year old?? C'mon dude!!

Look, if in a city, there is huge demand, and very less supply, it would be obvious that the price would go up...I hope you can understand this bit...So, if the supply is very great and the demand is very less, the price would fall...Right? So if you sell some thing in a city, obviously you're adding to the supply and lessening the demand, therefore, making the price fall...But in cities with greater population, this doesn't happen since the demand is very large and selling even 100 lbs makes no big difference rather than 100-200 dollars...But in smaller cities, even if you sell 10 lbs, it can make the price go down thousands...

Get it? Whew! Now will you stop posting in all freakin' forums that this is a bug!!!??

You're right, but there is still a bug regarding this, though it's not addressed in the thread. If you click the "Show for all drugs" tab, the numbers there are the numbers without factoring in the reduced demand.

Ever seen how supply and demand works? If you have 1000lbs of a drug and so many poeple, the supply is high and there are a lot of people wanting, but satisfy the (some or all the) demand, the price goes down. very simple. so it really isn't a glitch, just makes it more realistic.

Now if they would just fix the slide bar by (when selling large amounts, having 2000lbs or more, it jumps from 2oz to 130lbs), the arrow keys would be fine if it moved by 1lbs increments (not 1oz) or they would make it longer to compensate for large amounts of drugs being sold to the streets. (I don't sell all at once....kind of pointless, demand goes down, same as price).

If they would put a manual box in, it would just be to easy to script lower amounts.... not how the game is suppose to work.
