I think it does follow quality but we'll do some extra tests quickly and find out. Thanks for noticing

When you offer Q200, the trading process tries to find a match at Q200.
There is no guarantee that anyone wants to buy your products at this price.

If impossible to match, the price might be a little lower.

You receive let's say 1.8, the buyer wanted 1.5 and pays 1.8 and the product is delivered at Q180.

In many cases, the trading procedure is participating and adding money for you.

This is partially phased out and will disappear.

I most cases, the requested price is higher than the product quality would suggest.
In these cases, differences are larger and products also remain unsold.

When you want to get rid of something very quickly, one uses "rock bottom". I have in the past used, and it's a handy tool.

Tom,
"In many cases, the trading procedure is participating and adding money for you.

The system whereby you make up the difference between bid quality and sell quality has added a great deal of stability to the markets. I really would like you to reconsder making this function totally disappear.

Thank you for all your hard work!

I don't think the game should be subsidising anything. If only high quality products are available then that is what should be bought.

I have argued in the past that there should be stages of production with varying levels of quality that build up the production chain to the consumer products which are preferred by the population at the highest quality.

But you cannot actually order items above 250 q on the market. Who will sell items above that q if there is no quality subsidy? That is why it's there. Then the only way to sell above 250 q would be by contract, or by market orders with no quality restrictions. And who orders that way?
