Discount #

A discount is a percentage of your profit that you are willing to pay to the government for your product to be purchased before others on the trading platform.

Discount is the amount of gold coins deducted from the proceeds from the sale of goods after taking into account all commissions. If there are several lots with the same price on the trading platform, then the product for which the seller has set a higher discount percentage will be purchased first.

An example of how a discount works #

Let’s look at an example of how the discount amount is calculated and the amount credited to the game account when selling a product with a discount.

Let’s say you put up the product “wood” in the quantity of 100 pieces at a price of 0.025 gold coins per piece. You have indicated a discount of 5%.

Other players have already listed lots of wood at 0.025 gold coins, but their discount is less than 5%. In this case, your lot will be purchased first of all lots at this price.

The calculation of the final amount that the player will receive on the account is made according to the following formula:

The following variables are used in the above formula:

The listing fee is 0.5% and the sales fee is 5%.

And then we get these numbers:

100 x 0.025 x (0.95 x (1 - 0) - 0.005) = 2.3625 - total revenue without discount

100 x 0.025 x (0.95 x (1 - 0.05) - 0.005) = 2.2438 - total revenue with a discount of 5%

Lots with a higher discount (at a given price) will be purchased first. If another player offers a lot of wood at a price of 0.025 gold coins with a discount of, for example, 6%, then his lot will be purchased first.

In both cases, the purchase on the exchange starts from the current minimum price. That is, if there are lots of wood on the exchange at prices of 0.024 and 0.0243, then they will be purchased first, even if they do not have a discount.
