SUPER-DUPER ALL-IN-ONE PRICE CHECKER

by Hazed

Are you a power merchant with a cargo of droids that you want to sell to the highest bidder? Maybe you're a CEO wanting to search out the cheapest source for the inputs your factory needs. Or a PO checking out the competition to see if you need to offer a better deal on your exchange. If you answered "yes" to any of those questions you are probably fed up with having to ask for price checks for each planet individually until you find what you are looking for.

Well, now there's a way to cut out all the separate enquiries and get a mass of price info in one go. The premium price ticker will show you the price for a commodity on every single planet in the Galaxy. It doesn't come cheap, though - for this kind of convenience you can expect to shell out five slithy toves.

Since it's a gadget you use remotely, you can buy it remotely too with the command 'BUY PREMIUM TICKER'. You can then grab all the prices in the Galaxy in one fell swoop with 'CHECK PREMIUM commodity' - 'CHECK' can of course be abbreviated to 'C'.

However, it won't work unless you have the basic price checking subscription from TC&B. If you let that subscription lapse, the premium ticket will switch itself off until you reactive the remote service again.

Thanks to Kblackdragon for this suggestion.
