Pretty sure it's not a negotiation thing Makachuk. They put an invisible footnote in the first post about pricing.

When I send complaints to lays about their product, I get a box of free chips, that's what I call customer care.

Now when I tell 7-11 about a "flaw" in their system, they simply ignore it and throw free gifts to people who are doing the opposite.

E: wow, people even buy them too, makes me wonder who.

Just a reminder, Fire arrows sell for 3z a piece, and a full quiver costs 500z to make. 500 arrows would cost 2k in just basic buying prices, while these kind hearted employees are saving you legwork in order to speed up the leveling process for a small profit on their end. In the end, you'd make back the extra money spent by killing monsters in the time it'd take to guy buy arrows and put them into quivers.

Anyway, might I suggest putting a 7-11 outside of Byalan with wind arrows and etc. for water monsters?

[Makachuk]

1 red ore = 2000 fire arrows 4 quivers

red ore 500z making them into quivers 2000z

4 quivers for 2500z

2500z/4 = 625z each

profit = 375 each

[Ryu Van Burace]

Except that's not what it should be measured against, it's mesaured against you actually buying the fire arrows from a shop and then quivering them so I agree with Aegis.

[Makachuk]

but he isn't buying them he's making them

[Ryu Van Burace]

riiight but in terms of economics, it has to be factored against the customer buying them from an NPC surely?

[Avogadro]

I didn't want to wade in on this because I just find 7-11 to be humourous to me, personally. But math has been slighted here.

At 4/2500z, yes fire quivers cost 625 per. Where you get this idea that there's a profit of 375z makes no sense. There is no math that can get that number unless there are hidden costs you aren't mentioning, or your calculator is broken.

Assuming an input cost of 500z/quiver, At 625z, you make 125z profit. For four quivers, you make 500z profit total. Considering the weight limits of an average cart, it means you could make 25000z at most, assuming you store 200 quivers in a cart (based on what I see 7-11 selling in Louyang). I've been on farming runs for archers, and you have to put a time investment into getting these arrows (granted, you get a stupid number from each item). And based off playing a slinger, that time investment is unpalatable at best.

You sure wouldn't catch me out there taking the time to open a shop so that there's an off chance you might make 25k. That's what mining or fishing is for, which is what broke the economy in the first place. No wonder 7-11 figures they can get away with it. And judging by the fact that I see people ARE buying, I guess they get away with it just fine, regardless of a few people who are going to complain until the prices are 1z over max DC. I don't need the stuff now (but I can cook my own food), but if they sold bullet casings at 1k over cost, I'd sure consider it rather than having to load up max 50k bullets at a time and then transfer them slowly to a slinger, then go in and convert them to casings, etc.

And who really cares that it's 1k overcharge? I can make a lot more than 1k a minute from mining or fishing. Wandering all over hell's half-acre to grab useless junk so I can keep levelling is a lot more painful than that. And if it's cheaper across the street, I'll go across the street...

Unless the "Across the street" is some blatant knock-off with the least imaginative name ever. I'm not going to reward stupidity. I just find it amusing that this simple idea is so novel to people. I still don't shop there but I have a choice, right?
