July 1627 - Day 38

The conversion of SFS (Squirrel Pelts) to fashionable clothing was announced, and Martti's stock was immediately bought. But price did not zoom up, so now there is the opportunity to either sell the remainder, or convert some items. SFS is a restricted quantity item (good!), and the products made of it are fungible (good!) yet may have a low spoilage per year (bad! - yet does not really matter with restricted quantity items..).

Upon checking the possibilities and Martti's stock (10 pelts), he opts for a fashionable cap (cost=5) and two pouches for gold coins (hey, if you don't have a single gold coin, you still need a reserve pouch -- well you don't, so 1 pouch is enough as their resale value is certainly pressured the first 25 years...)

The commands to be used in this are explained in the announcement, so:
CONSUME SFS 6 [cap+pouch]
GIVE M 180000 Labor [SFS]

And the rest are put to sale at 1 m below lowest ask, in the wishes to get them sold quickly:
SELL SFS 4 69999

As for making some money while doing the S-B22 conversion (alarming news came that the King of Sweden, Gustaf Adolf, is willing to help us in the advance, cutting short the time of doing this profitable speculation!) - Martti checks the suits, first time for a while. It appears that he still owns the red one, bought for resale! This kind of thing should not be forgotten, but, well, it's valued at about the price of his 2 houses and just lay there...

Since it did not go at the lower price, let's list it higher instead. In L5, Martti is going to need it anyway. And since the suit is there, why not buy the horse as well. Let's check if there is possibility to save a buck or buy outright:

The ask/bid for H1 was 2.0/1.0 mil and horse upkeep is 0.5 per year, and soon coming (it is unsure if Martti gets a turn after the upkeep and before the promotions). A fair bid of 1.4 mil is placed and might entice someone to sell. If not, 2.0 mil will be paid soon. The H2 was checked and was 5.0/3.0 mil, H3 was 10.0/8.0 mil etc, up to H9 (gold unicorn) 350/30 mil, with one recently traded at 200 mil. Prince Noms, The Margrave of White Cross, etc., sold the one found in the marches, to Archduke Zechariah, The Prince Royal, M of Tavastia, etc. Horses promote quite readily, though, so keeping horses is one possibility to make money and cash out when the war comes again.

Martti decided that for this year, getting 3*S-B22 is enough, so decided to spend the 24*SCI to get them, so that it would not accidentally be forgotten. The SCI conversion deadline is Saturday, which is causing constant issues so at least we are good now...
CONSUME SCI 24 [S-B22]

It was wished that the new farms inside CryptoTown perimeter wall (yet to be built though) would have made the "superveg" (first produce of vegetables) cheaper. This was not the case so Martti grudgingly paid 4,250 m per unit for what was missing from his 50 units. Another thing to start minding is Wisdom - while health can be kept by eating and drinking, wisdom does not go up if you don't consume CAN. Many wish that it would do so, but the ones who consume, know how the others don't know and don't know that they don't know. So bids to amass some CAN have been placed as well.
