gollark: You could actually analyze, roughly, demand for items via krist logs, except KristQL is down.
gollark: Preprogram your shop with the prices and locations of other shops (or I guess have it communicate with others over some defined interface), and when it runs low have it try and buy more stock from elsewhere and send drones to collect.
gollark: Hmm. Drones can fly around other people's claims *and* suck up items...
gollark: Make a shop which buys and sells items in one more unified system, and which adjusts buy/sell prices automatically based on how much it has. Maybe it could even communicate with other people's stores to figure out demand for some products.
gollark: Now sell them cheaper than Wojbie (Woodjbie?) does.
