Commercial trade in Thousand Stars Immortal City was exceptionally prosperous, with shops of every kind as numerous as hairs on an ox.
Though there were not many merchants among the neighboring well-wishers, everyone had been influenced by what they saw and heard over the years. Coupled with the needs of daily life, work, and cultivation, each of them kept a ledger in their heart.
They basically knew exactly what price items of every grade should command.
Ninety percent of the Magic Tools and Spirit Tools Wang Chen had displayed on the shelves were mid-grade and high-grade, while around ten percent were top-grade. Their prices were marked clearly—at roughly eighty percent of the market rate!
One had to know that due to the fierce competition, the prices of Magic Tools, Pills, Talismans, and the like sold by the various shops in Thousand Stars Immortal City were not only highly transparent, but also very stable.
It was extremely rare for one shop to sell something for a hundred Spirit Stones while another sold it for eighty.
The costs were right there. Let alone a twenty-percent difference, even a five-percent difference could mean selling at a loss—this was no joke.
Selling cheaply was often a shop's desperate measure of cutting flesh to replenish blood.
For example, if business was poor and the shop was about to close, or if its goods had become badly backlogged, then there was no choice but to slash prices and accept the loss.
The Magic Tools and Spirit Tools Wang Chen had put out included weapons such as Flying Swords, longbows, soft whips, and heavy hammers, as well as defensive equipment such as shields, protective umbrellas, and Golden Bells. They were all popular models on the market.
Selling them at a twenty-percent discount was simply too conscientious!
