User blog comment:Dlewded/Woodwind vs. Apple Store/@comment-5077384-20120603124432/@comment-5039776-20120603141111

If you buy the stones from the market (average price is 242/100), a Scooter Store should produce profit of 116,000 per day plus 986,000 XP (based on 20 short recipes plus 1 medium). No-one would make the stones - its a huge waste of time and space. Just buy from the market.

On the same assumptions and cycles, the Apple store makes 26,500 per day plus 291,000 XP.

You must, in the analysi, use the assumption of highest and best use of land. Therefore, you ignore the idea of building houses, quarries and stone carvers for the simplicity of turning your village into an advanced civilisation and buying the raw material it needs.'
