.TH Command SELL

|
.NA sell "Sell commodities on the world market"
|
|
.LV Expert
|
|
.SY "sell <COMMODITY> <SECTS> <AMOUNT> <PRICE>"
|
|
The sell command allows nations to sell commodities on the open market.
|
|
Not all commodities can be traded --
|
|
notably civilians and military.
|
|
.s1
|
|
The <COMMODITY> is the type of commodity you are selling,
|
|
<SECTS> represents the range of sectors which will be selling items.
|
|
Only harbors and warehouses
|
|
which are at least 60% efficient may sell goods.
|
|
.s1
|
|
<AMOUNT>, if positive,
|
|
reflects the amount of food to be taken from each sector.
|
|
If negative,
|
|
the amount shows the \*Qlower limit\*U of food required to be
|
|
present in that sector and will only sell food in excess of that limit.
|
|
<PRICE> is the base price of the commodity per unit to the world.
|
|
.s1
|
|
In addition, the sector selling needs to have at least 1 mobility to
|
|
sell goods.
|

Typical output looks like:
|

.s1
|
|
Only harbors and warehouses
|
|
may sell items. Also, note that due to the
|
|
time delay market, you don't get any money until the goods are actually
|
|
bidded upon and paid for once the bidding time is up.
|
|
.s1
|
|
There is a certain overhead on selling items, based on the difficulty
|
|
of moving the items in question. This is based on the tax you pay
|
|
which is set by the deity (see \*Qinfo version\*U).
