Is extremely difficult and fails most of the time. I've had several players make bids on countries that meet my minimum and then the sale won't go through.
I ensure beforehand that there is less than 1T in cash in the countries (which is required for listing the country), but by the time the sale goes through, something has gone wrong and the sale fails. It could be that the value of cash changes by X percentage, but since you can't have almost any cash in the country in the first place, anything can impact this.
GMs, please help make selling countries easier. Perhaps remove any check on if cash has been changed (since you have to have less than 1T in there anyways). |

The conditions are checked at the moment the trade is about to take place.
what you see before, can change.
We see some trades take place. |

I find it's extremely difficult to pull off. I've tried to sell countries four times since I've been back and they've all failed.
There also doesn't appear to be an option to manually accept a bid anymore either. I am coordinating with someone I'm trying to sell to right now and just listed a country. There is no option for me to immediately accept the bid placed to try to avoid the changing cash situation / value of the country. |

Sales do take place from time to time.
I looked into the logs recently.
We think it is always planned by seller and buyer.
If it takes longer to close a deal, you have more chance that it will not be executed due to changed values.
This is constructed in this way to prevent unrealistic prices attached to countries and using the feature as a means to transfer large amounts between accounts. |

This continues to be difficult. I had 2/2 country sales fail this week.
I had adjusted the countries so they met criteria to be listed for sale, and then didn't log into them again. When I came back a couple days later, the sales had failed. I didn't tinker with them or try to adjust cash levels in any way.
The challenge with the current system is that the cash threshold requirement is so narrow that it's impossible for some countries to stay within long enough to be sold. If you have a profitable country you're trying to sell, it will make enough profit to boost itself outside the threshold and the country sale will fail. If you're selling a country that loses some money per month or even has some large supply orders fulfilled, it loses enough that it falls outside the threshold and the country sale will fail.
My recommendation would to slightly adjust the cash level tolerance rules. The amount of cash in for sale countries shouldn't matter so long as at the time of sale it's positive. IE "Is cash between 0 and 1 trillion? If yes, then process sale."
If the rules were just a little simpler or more lax, it'd make it SIGNIFICANTLY easier to buy and sell countries. |

I am sorry we did not react to this one.
it makes sense.
I agree we should repair this.
we will check conditions ASAP.
Reminds me of the guy who comes to the shoe repair shop 30 years late and said he forgot to come back at the time.
the shoe maker checks, finds the shoes and says
They will be ready next week Monday. |
