@creed: you'd rather let all your food rot away and make no money at all, than sell for 50/100? If that's the case, then I'm sorry, but no price will ever be enough for you.

I can guarantee you that if you had food that the realm needed, and wanted 100/100, one of three things would happen:
1) the realm would ban you and put in someone willing to sell for a realistic price
2) your duke would raise your taxes to a stupidly high level to pay the stupidly high price you're asking (in which case all the lords in the duchy would be pissed at you and probably ask for you to be banned)
3) the banker will slap fines on you for the amount of gold you're making from food sales.

Being able to set stupid high prices for food adds nothing to the game, and only enables trade system exploits.

I find it interesting that you think people would want to ban me for trying to do business. I found a way to make a good amount of gold in a legal way . I don't see why my duke will have a problem with it. Besides I read all the time on the forums oh I have all this gold I don't know what to do with. If this is true then I don't see why I cant charge more for my product .

If TOM wants us to trade more on dwilight then I recommend that he allows us to charge more for our food and allow supply and demand to determine the price.

As for your question if I would rather see food rot then make some gold my answer is I would rather see realms starve then charge a substandard price for my food.
