[QUOTE="SomeCallMeMom, post: 2646670, member: 32209"] Well, I look at this from a business plan perspective. Yes, the items listed aren't readily replenished, but most can be done. To be successful, you are going to have to see the need before the need arises so that you are stocked. For instance, don't trade the only chicken & rooster pair until you've got a bunch laying. Since there is no one to get stock from, you are going to have to be your own replenish supply. This might mean you have to give up something valuable to get someone's rooster. Hire someone who can help you butcher meat, tan hides & fashion some clothes from leather in exchange for eggs or another good that you've got. The beginning will be different than later on. In the beginning, residual things will be there. People will buy more candles because they aren't used to being in the dark. As they get used to not having electricity, they'll save for other essentials by only lighting one room, etc. For food goods, in the beginning, they'll want to buy produce or eggs you have to sell, but later on, once things start to re-establish, you will make more profit from seeds, laying hens, etc. so people can produce their own. As far as needing items that can't be replenished... well, you're a trading post. Buy them at a good price, sell them at premium. Once you have one, you buy the second one at a lower price than you bought the first one because "Well, what do I want that for? I've got one on the shelf" type of negotiation comes into play :) [/QUOTE]
