A lot of goods in the game are out of wack on prices.
Meat is selling for more then sausages
HW logs value is selling for more then planks
Longbows are undervalued.

These are just a few examples. While it remains unclear what exactly is causing this, its likely largely due to things like trading 350 planks for 400logs, then taking the logs and making 50 plank profit. This is likely the cause of the decline in production prices (As it kills the markets demand for that product forcing the buys to pay less for the market, which in return causes the seller to sell for less)

So i am calling on the community to fix this problem.
Post your longbows for 45g. even if it takes a day or two to sell a stack
Post your meat for 35-40g, bring the market value up on the goods it needs to be brought up on. so trade will continue, and thrive.

if we dont do something soon the population will inflate the prices.

thanks

Even better, economic war better part of the game!!!!

Economics is about supply and demand. Meat is higher because you use it quicker and you need more hunters than butchers. Just because you are not getting the price you want for a product does not mean the economy is whacked, it means you have to adjust your expectations.

The economy is wacked. Its not what "I produce". I produce weapons, and only weapons. so it does not effect me, but the prices are off.

Never buy or sell meat, so I can't speak to that. But I regularly get 80+ coin/granite for a stack of longbows. Not sure why I would start selling them for half of that.

and I can't ever imagine buying longbows. I make a crap load I don't even use. I find it very rare that I come across a camp that truely needs longbows. Like cav, too expensive for most battles...at least there are camps where you HAVE to use cav.

Very true, but the market is there if you're patient. I also sell a lot of cav. Kinda stupid to specialize in two fairly low demand resources, but it's worked for me so far. I find a lot of folks that would pay a little more in granite to save some coin, which is exactly what I'm looking for. I don't see the big problem with the market, I personally know quite a few folks that are making a killing, so apparently it's functional. Prices are going to fluctuate over time, that's just the way it goes. It'll come back around eventually.

I think you are loosing sight of something important here- and that is meat is more valuable than sausages because most people buff their butcher, and most people have a slight shortage of meat to feed it. Unless you are doing 2 levels of hunters (plus one) for ever level of butcher you run a slight shortage of meat every day. This will lead you to the market to fill the need and since its not sold as often as other materials you might just have to pay what you can find it for to keep that butcher operating. For longbows most people need around three stacks of these and if you are careful you can clear the island with them and move on to adventures just fine. Its just a terrible idea to make longbows (I made them for a while) since if you price it out in terms of hwl spent on each bow (assuming its un-buffed, simply not a great use of a buff in my opinion) you would never get anywhere close to the price that they are worth strictly in terms of the materials. And the largest factor here is that people get longbows in quantities larger than a stack from adventures frequently- and they likely already have all the longbowmen they will need, or have already moved on to crossbowmen. So they sell them for less than the materials to make them just to get rid of them- I mean you are still doing fairly well if you sell these for 85g a stack if you just got 700 of them from some adventure reward.
