I'm curious just how the market works, when I place things for sale I see the number I can enter for the amount of the item and then I see the "Asking price" what is this? am I getting the number I enter -6%? or am I getting the asking price?

The bright # is the current price, the dimmer # is a standing order, if you set it at the standing order price, your goods will sell for that price (depending on the amounts and if the person that placed that standing order actually has the money to buy it) if not it'll just go on the market at the price you want.

The 6% is the commission taken by the market, its the price you sell it for minus 6%.

Dems don't have to pay commission and commies have to pay 10% instead of 6.

if you have a 6% commission and buy something listed at 100, it will charge you 106. If you sell for 100, you will receive 94.

Damn thiefs.

Can a mod explain what happens with the 12% ? I think those virtual $ goes to martian ...

It's keeps the game free for you and I.
