Who would have the vault space? I would think it would be easier to sell smaller quantities. I just saw an offer of 50 apples. I guess people are taking it as a kind of personal challenge to see how large a sale they can manage, in terms of volume at least. But as you say, it's hard to imagine anyone wanting to buy it. Now I'm imagining something like a wholesale/retail market chain. My father's parents were produce retailers for a while... immigrants settling into life in a new country. It's not so easy in-game, where you can't just bunk down in the same space as your merchandise. If my game goals were all completed, I could have purchased the cheaper price of the 30 ice cubes and resold them in smaller groups with a higher mark-up just for fun. I don't frequent the large warehouse stores here in the states because I don't have the space to store huge multi-packages of items. And the prices aren't that much better (sometimes worse) than sales at my local stores. And if I add in the cost of fuel, I prefer to shop my local businesses. Currently I'm selling small quantities in the Market of the more highly sought after items so more people have a chance at purchasing something worthwhile. A sort of "spread the joy" mindset because the choices in the market are quite often lame.
