Pricing based on lifetime payout?
  • When I create a horse with more than 300 points, I sell them for one third of their lifetime payout. I’m having great success with this on the Forest Server and I’m over halfway to a basic upgrade (I know it’s important to keep my show horses, I’m just doing this until I can buy my upgrade so I have enough income to buy the space I need to be able to keep them).

    I thought of doing the same thing on this server because I’m running out of space and I only have a couple of IV’s. However, the economy of this game is still very new and I don’t want to take unfair advantage of that. I remember there was a lot of upset a few weeks ago about people way overpricing their horses and then getting upset that they weren’t selling, so I wanted to check here first.

    Based on the current state of this server’s development, do you think this would be fair, or should I wait a few months?

    Thank you!
  • You can always price your horses that way and then wait to see if they sell within a day or two. You can keep adjusting your prices until you find a sweet spot. Mine were flying out of the barn at 3k each the other day but I just wanted them to sell quickly so I could do some more creating - so you could probably price them higher than 3k each. Just keep experimenting, the worst thing that could happen is they don't sell and you try lowering your prices again. :)

  • @Egret is right. Ive been focusing on saving up for an uograde and followed my Bluegrass template (will post below) as well as made a forum post for my sales. Since I was selling, I diversified when making exceptional breeder and show hirse creates (dif ages and dif bone, dif gender). And I'd watch them, if they didnt sell after two days, I'd take off 500hbs. And I'd keep doing that until the horse sold or I felt like I was better off keeping them. I've had to sell 450/500 pointed yearlings for just 15k :b

    The template I *try* to follow, but with Rank Specials I usually ignore points andgo for the markets value of them:
    Above 300pts - sell for half or 3/4 their lifetime value
    299 - 250 pts - 4k or 5k
    249 - 200 pts - 3k or 4k
    Below 200 - auction

  • Do you mind if I use that template for Forest Server?
  • I'll pay up to 50% of Lifetime here on this server for horses with 600+ points. So shoot me a PM if you get any.
