Attempt to donate it to some sort of charity.
Love to see their face when they read Three billion Euros...of Airline Mogul Money.

I know lots of you have way more money than I have,don't need to brag.
I m not interesting. i'm just trying to have some fun with other ways than buying and reselling planes.
So I came up with this idea of new kind of entertainment contest where the winner wins a connie(people always need motivation).
That might also help beginner players to grow.

In short, "entertain and you'll get rich"

Suntoucher you're ine the right way!

I have another "useful" way. THAT IS POSSIBLE. And entertaining... Scrapping planes.

LOL too simple!
And official brokers might not be quite happy with that lot or (s)crap aircraft to sell

I started to think about the question you have now when I have 3 billions.
Now I have more than 10 times of cash and I can't think of a solution.
Buy and sell planes are not good because the market is already saturated and I don't want to edit routes fare. :oops:
Unless I can transfer my cash to another players or charity, I don't know what to do with the cash and get bored then.
May be you can ask the guy with over 1500+ destination in hand how to use money yet did not get bored.

And you still don't know why Hampo left? Please, give me a break. It's exactly this kind of childish, dumb and ignorant behaviour that will cause people to quit. Do you just hate brokers? Should I stop selling planes to you because you only want to scrap them? Scrapping planes is something you do if you don't know something else. Not to annoy people, or to "have fun". Start thinking about other players, not just about your own pleasure. It may be a game, but it deals with basic real-life issues.

totally agree

Do brokers only rely on aircraft reselling or can they have their own routes/airlines too?
scrapped planes must have been a real money spinner at the (very) begining

MrOrange · **Reply #10 on:** December 17, 2007, 02:10:13 pm

Money spinner? After some six hours of game play, IIRC, I was 10 million in the red because of scrapped planes. Didn't hurt me too much though, I got back to number 1 worldwide thanks to scraps. Right now, the small airplanes are being scrapped too much.

We rely on aircraft sales, both used and new. We get a discount when ordering new planes for other players, so we can offer them to the end-user for less money than when you order from the manufacturer. We can also create routes, but mostly, the brokerage takes too much time to be able to maintain many routes.

I don't really understand how brokerage works sorry. how could you end up 10 million in the red with scrapped planes?
Well my post has been driven a little out of topic

Any ideas of a contest? winner gets a connie(or 2)

Game brokers work in a few ways.

First, [most obvious], they have some special abilities with a discount available to them through the broker system. They can offer larger discounts then most normal players, and they actually pay the manu's at a discounted rate as well. This is not a terribly large profit margin, compared to most normal route making play, but it is there.

Second, [less obvious], those scraps you make... most of them wind up in a random broker's hands. about 10% of them are likely to vanish to the void... but the majority of them wind up being delivered to a game broker,who has to pay the scrap value of the plane to receive it [in fact. they have no choice in the matter, they pay the price you receive for the scrap, and get the plane regardless of whether they want it or not, whether they have the money or not].

Third, [least obvious], periodically they're called upon to beta test some stuff for us and give some early feedback.

I can think of one new method of using money --- help MrOrange by buying planes from OrangeAir Brokerage!

bibi974 · **Reply #14 on:** December 17, 2007, 02:37:14 pm

Oh that's pretty clear, now I understand.
I haven't scrapped plane so far.
I might consider buying plane from MrOrange^^
