If I'm selling a few thosand resources, should I sell them in 1k blocks? Break them into 500? 300?

I figure that if I sell in 1k blocks, factory owners will be sure that its all the same and therefore safe to experiment with and then load into the factory.

Smaller blocks open up the field of potential buyers... but if I'm selling 300 at 900 credits, it will likely be in the middle of the listing and I don't know if many people scan the full bazaar page.

Any help?

I think it depends on the resource more than anything.

Low grade ores will go in 1000 units quickly, because the floks who need it need a lot of it. Same with Energy and Steel. They all are purchaced in Huge amounts.

Fiberplast could be either small or large amounts. The same with copper, polymer, petrochems, water and organics. The might be needed in bulk, they might be needed to craft a specific item or two. Try both, see which sells better.

Bone and Hide will go in whatever amount you put them up in, as long as the price isn't too outrageous, however, if you're selling 1000 units of hide on the market, you are shorting yourself a lot of money. 500 units of hide will go for 3 grand all day long.

Hope this helps a little.

Ahh, thank you. I didn't know hides went for so much. I may have to reevaluate my resource collection program.
