It seems that the majority of Tech deals are void of any economic realities concerning the laws of supply and demand. The standard 3mill/ 100 tech deal nets a profit of around 1.35 million for the seller. With five aid slots this equates to less than 7 million per month.
My argument, however, is not that this is unfair. It is perfectly fair, especially considering that a defacto contract is agreed to when aid is accepted with understanding of repayment. My argument is simply that the laws of supply and demand are not in play.
I argue that unnoffical price controls have been set by the Tech buyers. Conciously or unconciously, experienced buyers recognize the desire for funds that many new nations have, which is why a 3 mill per 100 tech deal is possible. However after a nations income reaches that of a couple hundred thousand per day (which can be done in a couple weeks very easily), demand for these deals should decrease.
As a seller, it is often ridiculously easy to establish deals with the standard profit of 1.35 mill indiciating that there is also an extremely high demand of technology from the buyer. Perhaps it is time for tech sellers to raise their prices in accordance with the demand of tech buyers, rather than have the terms dictated to them through tradition and standard deals. If demand is really high enough then tech sellers should be doing the intelligent thing and raising their prices accross the board. The amount of money saved in a 3mil/ 50 tech deal for the buyer is still incredible, however a newer nations growth is not as impeded.
I am certainly not arguing for controls, or violations of contract. I myself, will most likely continue to contract through the generally accepted standard deal. I am not angry about it. I am just curious as to other thoughts on the subject and why the cybernations economy is able to ignore these economic realities.
Sincerely,
Sludder McGee
