Somehow I think the trapper is smiling for a reason...
Thought I would write a piece about how to sell a company. While profitable it can be depressing to see people all but giving away gold because they failed to sell their company correctly.
Pricing
Mainly the more you ask for the longer it takes to sell.
Below a certain point though you can not sell it any faster, so there's really no point in going down to 12 or even the 10 gold I've seen before. One gold below the rest of the market and you'll sell just as quick.
Best bet is to check on similar company types to the one you are selling.
You can ask for more gold if:
►Country has the required High Resource(Manufacturing Company)
►Region has the required High Resource(Raw Material Company)
►Companies from that country are rare
Brand Names and Logos
If you're really crunched for time/money go with something patriotic. When in doubt a flag and a name having national significance will work every time.
If not so crunched just choose something distinctive and let it chill.
I try and aim for logos that contrast with the white surroundings:
The Yin-Yang and Talisman are two of my main ones. The black along with the distinctive patterns draws in the attention.
Mainly the branding helps you sell faster or for more than an otherwise identical company. Not entirely logical but extremely useful.
Your shouts, newspaper, chat rooms; all of these can be great ways to get word of your company out there.
Talk it up as much as you can, even if the only good thing about the company is the price your selling at.
If you do manage a sale, make sure and delete the shout/article as a courtesy.
All I've got for today.
I'll probably do a Buyer's Guide article next. I was thinking about doing it all in one but realized the advice was completely opposite
As always I practice reciprocal subscriptions. Please no "v5/s10" type comments though. You don't leave a real comment and I might not leave a real sub

About the game:
USA as a world power? In E-Sim it is possible!
In E-Sim we have a huge, living world, which is a mirror copy of the Earth. Well, maybe not completely mirrored, because the balance of power in this virtual world looks a bit different than in real life. In E-Sim, USA does not have to be a world superpower, It can be efficiently managed as a much smaller country that has entrepreneurial citizens that support it's foundation. Everything depends on the players themselves and how they decide to shape the political map of the game.
Work for the good of your country and see it rise to an empire.
Activities in this game are divided into several modules. First is the economy as a citizen in a country of your choice you must work to earn money, which you will get to spend for example, on food or purchase of weapons which are critical for your progress as a fighter. You will work in either private companies which are owned by players or government companies which are owned by the state. After progressing in the game you will finally get the opportunity to set up your own business and hire other players. If it prospers, we can even change it into a joint-stock company and enter the stock market and get even more money in this way.
In E-Sim, international wars are nothing out of the ordinary.
Become an influential politician.
The second module is a politics. Just like in real life politics in E-Sim are an extremely powerful tool that can be used for your own purposes. From time to time there are elections in the game in which you will not only vote, but also have the ability to run for the head of the party you're in. You can also apply for congress, where once elected you will be given the right to vote on laws proposed by your fellow congress members or your president and propose laws yourself. Voting on laws is important for your country as it can shape the lives of those around you. You can also try to become the head of a given party, and even take part in presidential elections and decide on the shape of the foreign policy of a given state (for example, who to declare war on). Career in politics is obviously not easy and in order to succeed in it, you have to have a good plan and compete for the votes of voters.
You can go bankrupt or become a rich man while playing the stock market.
The international war.
The last and probably the most important module is military. In E-Sim, countries are constantly fighting each other for control over territories which in return grant them access to more valuable raw materials. For this purpose, they form alliances, they fight international wars, but they also have to deal with, for example, uprisings in conquered countries or civil wars, which may explode on their territory. You can also take part in these clashes, although you are also given the opportunity to lead a life as a pacifist who focuses on other activities in the game (for example, running a successful newspaper or selling products).
At the auction you can sell or buy your dream inventory.
E-Sim is a unique browser game. It's creators ensured realistic representation of the mechanisms present in the real world and gave all power to the players who shape the image of the virtual Earth according to their own. So come and join them and help your country achieve its full potential.
Invest, produce and sell - be an entrepreneur in E-Sim.
