Marketplace question

[TexMex 3]

Hi guys, I have been playing for some time now on Olympus and I never could understand the marketplace thing exactly. Is there a way to know how much of a certain item will make the price of that item go down. Ex. Sell 100 diamonds at $2114 (max price) how much will it go down? And what other item will go up.

Supply and demand if you sell too many diamonds then the price will drop so other people must be selling other things after you sell for the price to increase again.

As far as I'm aware, I don't think it's been stated how much it goes down per item sold. Jesse, the lead developer, would know more about this as he's the one who coded it. If I had to guess, there's probably some equation to figure out how much the market will go down for that product and how much other items will go up. If it is an equation, then it probably becomes more complicated then simply saying, the price goes down x amount per item sold.

I figured it is probably some algorithm to it. Thanks though!

It's the same algorithm that's always been around, just the exploit people were using to sell one drug first prevented it for calculating the market correctly.

Example, you sell a shot ton of diamonds, every other legal run will go up by a little amount, and diamonds will drop a lot, but then if someone else were to do a platinum run, diamonds would go up, not all the way, but a little up

Fake news. Simply made it add the amounts sold properly.. the script was made by a random guy. Then modified slightly for Olympus by Poseidon. I've barely touched and don't know shit about how it works really beyond the basics.
