Where to shop in eRepublik: Food & Weapons

Day 4,149, 10:00 • Published in Netherlands

• by Mael Dunbar

I've been monitoring the market to see where to by the most common items such as Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q7 food ~~and Q7 weapons~~ (the only ones worth using). All numbers are valid on day ~~4.149~~ 4.150, 9:30 eRepublik time.

I selected 4 markets: eNetherlands, eRomania, eIran and eRussia.

eNetherlands market is base for the Break-Even calculation: the amount you need to buy in that country to cover the (cheapest) travelling cost from eNL to a region in the other country versus buying the same quantity in eNetherlands. Make sure to check what the cheapest region is, because this can change with wars.

Update day 4.150: the Q3 in eNL is the best local buy, offer from Yotna:

The next best offer is 12 cents more expensive, that is 1 extra bread per 8 you buy!

If you're willing to travel: Romania is (still) the place to be!

Update day 1.450: market has shifted quite big on Q7 weapons since my article yesterday, prices went up considerably. I guess people have stocked up on the lower priced weapons. I will no longer be publishing those.

So before buying, make sure to check the other markets see if a quick trip can save you some money.

I thought you of all people would advise to ''buy Dutch'' so that our taxes don't end up with some random dude. 😛

But nice overview! But just a snapshot of course, because e.g. the food situation on the Dutch market is not as bad as it seems, actually kind of competitive. Of course, weapons is another matter. And in Houses we have kind of a deceiving image due to myself putting Houses on there as part of the Housing Program. But that's the main problem on some products: lack of supply.

Mael Dunbar Day 4,149, 13:02

It is always a momentary view if you do it on a certain day. Houses are overall the same price. I looked around and nowhere I looked could I find a break even with travel. Everywhere is between 6.375 and 6499 with some exeptions (higher prices).

We can't even produce Dutch 😛 Buying Dutch would be retarded if you fight two bars of health and work as manager every day.

nutty fox Day 4,149, 23:24

You can find really good food deals in eNL market. Lets vote a treason on Mael Dunbar since he likes silly votes.

Mael Dunbar Day 4,149, 23:29

I like silly hats! There's a difference 😛

Janty F Day 4,149, 23:58

...oooor, we can boost Dutch economy by buying Dutch products.

Also, Q7 food sucks - no clue, why would anyone even produce that, as Weekly Challenge makes your storage quite big, if you are a tank.

Mael Dunbar Day 4,150, 00:42

There isnt even production. Better to have citizens get more value for money. These prices are ridicoulous.

Janty F Day 4,150, 02:57

That's weird, we have so much food on the market, and you claim there is no production.

You truly are an expert on economy!

Mael Dunbar Day 4,150, 03:27

🙄 You yourself said production in eNL is not worth it, move your companies. Thats way you rent out the recources. Why not buy where you produce yourself in Iran?
If the country where you produce has these prices the only mark up here is the import tax of 1%, not 50

Janty F Day 4,150, 03:30

Because market licenses, and VAT tax income, duh?

Make Dutch taxes same as Iranian, and it will be easy to have Iranian prices - easy solution for your "problem" 😉 .

Have a good day, off to do something more productive o/

Mael Dunbar Day 4,150, 03:41

So far your tax reductions have fine nothing for the sales prices, hence the very minor impact on the tax income. Tax reduction was only beneficial for the vendors, not the citizens.
Funny guy you: rent out recourses, no production is shit. Oh, btw: but dutch! It's worth the 100% more you spend on food!

Janty F Day 4,150, 03:58

The last one isn't even in English, the rage must be real!

Phone autocorrect. But whatever floats your boat, mr. economy expert.

Less production = lower sales prices

Doctor John Smith Day 4,150, 06:47

Let's say I wanted to stimulate the Dutch economy by only buying foods produced in the Netherlands etc.

Where can i see that I buy from a Dutch shop, and if the products are made in the Netherlands? I can see the owner 'of the shop' and where he lives. But is that enough to know i'm actually eating Dutch products?

I wan't to know how one can know..

Thanks

Janty F Day 4,150, 07:00

Well, anything you buy on Dutch Market supports our economy, because the state gets income either through VAT tax (for products sold by Dutch Citizens on our market) or VAT + Import tax (for products sold by foreigners on our market).

Basically if you can, just buy from Dutch citizens 😉 . Also, if you need Food, rather look at Q2 and Q3, those are (from my experience) the cheapest kind of food on Dutch market, because several people have factories for those.

Mael Dunbar Day 4,150, 07:02

You can see in the right upper corner what country, and change it. Sometimes you see 'imported' mentioned with the seller, but I don't know if that applies for citizens of eNL who produce in other countries

Doctor John Smith Day 4,150, 07:21

Ok thanks.. I just thought of a business opportunity. Check my newspaper in 30 minutes. I will use your shop Janty F.

Mael Dunbar Day 4,150, 07:59

But abroad and sell local? I did that a few times, good way for making a few nlg, but money is tied up until sold

Doctor John Smith Day 4,150, 08:14

No, ads (see: https://www.erepublik.com/en/article/a-penny-for-your-abbreviation-2-2693972/1/20)

Mael Dunbar Day 4,150, 10:48

What does such an add bring in? And does it make you no longer independent as a journalist?

Doctor John Smith Day 4,150, 10:53

Most active Dutch citizens who have shops are also member of a politcial party. So to find party-independant people who sell on the marketplace will be very hard. I don't think it will work.

Other question: does 25 comments on an article still activates some kind of reward.. or is that function not active anymore?

Mael Dunbar Day 4,150, 10:59

Below your profile picture on the top left corner there are three icons showing. If you complete these tasks, new ones will pop up. One of those is getting the replies in your paper, but you need to complete some others first

Mael Dunbar Day 4,150, 11:00

Called 'missions'

Doctor John Smith Day 4,150, 12:05

Thanks.. one of the missions is to change residence to south Africa.. yeah.. moving is considered nr2 of stress factors in a persons life. And it says to bring 2 friends. That is never going to happen. The other is to create your own weapons.. hmmm (ordering 3D printer now)

Mael Dunbar Day 4,150, 12:10

You need 10 gold and some cash for a raw company, that's easy enough! i never had one to move...

Ynotna Day 4,151, 12:26

Shame you couldn't spell my name right... 😛

I always check this site: https://erepublik.tools/en/marketplace/items/0/1/3/offers before putting up my offers. This basically means that if you see my offers on the market it is not only the best in our country but probably the best in the eWorld for the quantities I am offering. 🙂

If you want the best price though, you should just send me a pm with your order. I always check the best prices before sending them to you.
