Let's just add to this a bit.

Suppose you work you village pretty hard and do 15 short (star notes= 1 hour) recipes and 1 medium (star chart= 4.58 hours) per day.

According to the table, you can expect profit of 138k on average per day (and XP of 1.14m per day). This compares to the purchase cost of around 2.55m (after costing in the resources as well as the coins).

This means you'll get your money back in about 18.5 days. From there, the rest is gravy.

On the other hand, the scooter store (assuming a similar profile of 20 x 45m recipes and 1 x 4 hour recipe) generates profit of about 105k coins per day and has a much faster payback - about 7.9 days (but generates slightly lower XP per day - around 986k).

So, in summary:

Price differential = 1,725,000

Coins per day difference = 33,000

XP per day difference = 150,000

Take your pick which is right for you. The higher price you have to pay may not be justified by the returns.
