Shiomi Academy Trading Post - No longer active

[Zeler]

I am no longer selling Bat Wings. Instead I am now selling Barley Seeds (q14-q15) at 5 August per stack of 50 (stock: 10). The price is high to discourage buying it to make flour out of it. (Not to say you can't buy it for Flour; if you're willing to pay this price for Flour I'll have to expand my Barley fields because that would be quite profitable.) Stocks and limits are also updated.

You should reconsider your barley pricing. People could pay a lot more for 10 tiles of barley or 5kg of flour.

If it sells out quickly (which would imply people are making Flour out of it) I will of course raise the price. But unless that happens the current price is fine; I don't want to scam people desperate for barley, even if I can get much more value out of that.

Someone notified me that barley is already out of stock. I can't verify as I'm currently at work, but I guess it's best to hold off on long trips to buy barley for now.

3 stacks of Barley added, more to be added later. Price has doubled to 10 August per stack.

Buying Leather again, but buy price has been reduced to 2 August per Leather.

No longer buying Blueberries.

Unfortunately my barley harvest yield was slightly disappointing, and after expanding my barley fields only 4 stacks were left. This brings the total number of stacks for sale to 7. Next harvest will bring significantly more barley.

Important announcement: The Shiomi Academy Trading Post will henceforth use the Sevillian Tin Crown as currency. All goods are now bought and sold in Tin Crowns. You can exchange your Augusts for Tin Crowns at the simple exchange rate of 1 August per Tin Crown. Please PM me if the barter stand runs out of Tin Crowns to exchange and I will refill it..

The reason for this change is twofold:
- First, it is to promote trade. Having a central currency allows for much easier trading; you could, for example, sell something at the Shiomi Academy Trading Post to buy something at the Sevillian Community Market, or vice versa. This also gives the coin more inherent worth; whereas the August could only be traded in at the Shiomi Academy Trading Post, the Tin Crown has further uses.
- Secondly, it is to ensure the value of the currency traded at the Shiomi Academy Trading Post. The value of the August depended solely on what was offered at the Shiomi Academy Trading Post. This would mean that if something were to happen to the Trading Post, or if I became less active and there were less interesting goods being sold at the Trading Post, the currency would become worthless. If I were to stop playing, the August would suddenly lose all value, and you in practice would not have received anything in return for selling to the Trading Post. Using the more general Tin Crowns as currency solves this problem; even if I were to close the Shiomi Academy Trading Post tomorrow, you would still have gotten value out of the things you've sold there.

Please do note that only Tin Crowns are accepted. Iron Crowns will have to be exchanged for Tin Crowns elsewhere beforehand.

Also, I have raised the price of Salt to 70 and 90 Tin Crowns for q10 and q22, respectively. This is due to high demand for Salt and because Sevillian Black Emporium is buying them for 100 Tin Crowns. (Yes, there is profit to be made here if you're willing to make the trip.) I have also temporarily stopped buying Steel to make sure I have enough Tin Crowns left to exchange for all Augusts that may still be in circulation.

Nope. I have no personal need for them, and if they have resale value I have yet to hear about it.
