Nobody wants anything? I haven't seen stuff cheaper than this anywhere... i'll even throw in 100 rounds of free ammo and 10 grenades(if you buy a gun equipped with a launcher, that is)

You lack pics and thus nobody wants anything you have to sell. I suffer from a similar problem but only because I lack a scanner... Good luck to ya.

Not to mention, prices like that will set you through the floor economy-wise. A normal assault rifle is at least $700. You'd be best off competing with me in that arena to sell a $700 assault rifle... and your XM29, at least $900 man.

*Edit* If you are gonna sell an Assault Rifle for $700, you barely make any profit. A rifle is normally sold for about $1,000 to $1,400. If you're sadistic like me and trying to make a name, yea, go for low profit mass sale.

I can't figure out how the pics work... i can't copy/past anything in. and as for the prices, my nation page says i have a 'slick and highly efficent black market in arms production' i figure that means i can buld guns for lower costs. anyways, i'm new to this so if that's wrong, let me know

the address of your pic here

what about the arms manufacturing? can i or can i not sell cheap guns?

To a point you could, but you need to charge at least 7-8 hundred a pop for rifles/smgs and an OICW, under 1000 is odd. Even if most of us have much better weapons than OICWs. If you want to make money I'd up the prices.

So, you're saying I COULD sell them for what i've got em marked as, but i won't make any money unless i dish em out in huge quantities to terrorists or something? Got it. thanks for all the help!
