What is the Buying and Selling Game?

For the benefit of those who have not entered this contest, here is a brief explanation of how the game works.

Participants are required to buy goods with an allocated amount of money. They are given a choice of 6 goods and all these goods are available in any of the 5 towns, cities or planets in the game. The buying prices of all goods are provided in the question.

The participants are then required to sell all of their goods on a future date (I often refer to this as Day 7, to align with the number days until post payout). The selling prices for all goods in all towns, cities or planets are not provided. Instead, the question provides a minimum, maximum, and mode selling price for each good in each town, city or planet.

The participant that has the most money after selling all his or her goods is the winner.

Responses to the contest are made in the comments section of the post. If several participants end up with the same amount of money, the person who entered (commented) first will win. The format of the required entry is explained in detail in the contest itself.
