[@erinidum]

Except you're selling at a 25% markup so you're ALWAYS guaranteed +25% on every sale, no matter how little it costs. I know I'm, like, 3 years late to this party, but I'm so frustrated by your business sense lol Scenario 1: You have $100. You spend all of that on a large painting. Now you have $0. The painting is worth $1000 (nice round numbers make calculating percentages in my head easy). You sell it at a markup of 25%. Now you have $1250. You start another large painting, which, again, costs $100. Now you have a net profit of $1150. Scenario 2: You have $100. You spend all of that on a large painting. Now you have $0. The painting is worth $1000. You sell it at a markup of 25%. Now you have $1250. You restock it, which costs the original amount that the painting was worth, which in this case, is $1000. You are left with a net profit of just the 25% markup, or $250. In scenario 1, where you paint instead of restocking, your net profit for every $1000 worth of paintings AFTER considering the cost of "restocking" (read: painting another painting) is $1150. In scenario 2, where you restock instead of starting new paintings, your net profit for every $1000 worth of paintings after considering the cost of actually restocking them (which, again, costs the amount that the completed painting is worth) is just the 25%, which in this case is $250. You're probably not going to read this and I know it wouldn't make a difference to the game at this point even if you did, but it makes me feel better to rant it out.

[@alexandrialeonora6542]

@@derelictdiva Late to the party here, but I commented something similar in a previous video, haha! I totally agree. There was a painting he had originally wanted that the woman bought before he could get it, so he left the store. Then the next time he came back, there was a masterpiece version of it, and he was able to buy that instead. I think that was in the second or third episode. I really like him and while I know this series is already over, I'm kind of hoping that when he becomes a teen, maybe he can be the staff in the shop, if James hired staff to help Lady out! Especially since now they seem to be good friends! ^^

Not all paintings are 1000 to restock, to restock something, you pay the same price without the 20% thingy. It works to restock.

Mohamad Nahas I do realize I,m a little late, but don't you realize he's constantly making 25% of that masterpiece, and not having to make another. That is almost the same amount of profit as constantly making normal paintings

Harry Lane please just count, if masterpiece costs 2000, you have to restock 4 times at 25% profit to earn those 2000 back. If you just paint and sell, you earn ALL 2000 + 25% porfit (total 2500)
