Price paid for overstock

If you have a corp that doesn't sell any product for many months, I found 2 gold corps on LU that ask best price but haven't sold for 5 months, then you might want to sell the excess product to your country or enterprise so the corp at least keeps cash flowing.

If product isn't sold for one month on the world market then the price can be set to reduce, (not on best price I know) but the selling contract states that you can only trade at the current market price (increased with quality).

Is this correct? If so, should not the price the country pays be the reduced price the corp has set to move the product on? Seems only fair to me.

It could be argued that it could be abused to supply the country ultra cheaply but the loss still has to be suffered by the corps, so swings and roundabouts.

From a9fc8yt3kd1:

Just contract your excess production to your enterprise, wait until the price rises, and THEN sell. That way, you can still sell goods for a high price even if they are produced when they are at a low price.

Yes, thankyou. I can work around the excess, my point was about the price paid by enterprise, or in this case, the country. The cost price should lower with the corps trade strat lowering every month it is not sold. Else if my country needed the product, it could buy at market off of the world market. Why should it pay the same to a corp that is offering extra cheap to get rid of it?

Just a thought, dont worry about it.

And why do you post someone elses words in another name or are you one and the same?

I'm one and the same.
