Is there any difference between selling 0Q with 30Q product and 15Q product (all on the same price)?

I think this is a really good question.
I hope Scott will tell us how selling multiple Q's simultaneously works in general, as I am also curious about this. Does the AI pick one over the other? Do they both sell at their normal rate/Q and you get a compound selling effect by having multiple Q's for the customer to choose from? Does it gum things up and we should avoid it?
A very good question indeed! 8-D

According to my tests it transforms it into average - allowing to sell only Q28 apples at 0.7 resulted in 1100 sold apples, activating also Q20 apples at the same price reduced amount of sold products.

No difference. The equations are complicated, but in the end they compete with eachother AND share whatever "selling power" your store has.

Example using arbitrary numbers for demonstration purposes:

Alone:
100 Q50 Apples sold at $5.00

Alone:
12 Q30 Apples sold at $10.00

Together:
92 Q50 Apples sold at $5.00
1 Q30 Apples sold at $10.00

and NOT
50 Q50 Apples sold at $5.00
6 Q30 Apples sold at $10.00

So in result it is always better to sell only one type of product... It is a bit counter-intuitive.

Not at all.

Alone:
100 Q50 Apples sold at $5.00

is better than:

Together:
92 Q50 Apples sold at $5.00
1 Q30 Apples sold at $10.00

is better than:

Alone:
12 Q30 Apples sold at $10.00

So it is better to sell the highest quality by itself?

No, the difference is only caused by price-quality-value relation, not in how many of the product you put up.

I don't understand what the:

"and NOT
50 Q50 Apples sold at $5.00
6 Q30 Apples sold at $10.00"

part means?

oh I get. That is what you are saying doesn't happen. Got it.

I have been setting multiple quality prices by making all prices P = PL*(1 + (Q-QL)/50) where PL is the price of the lowest quality and QL is its quality. Is that optimal?
