Prices and Valuation: How Values Are Set | BELLOCCO

BELLOCCO uses one central valuation system as the source for every price and value in the game. That makes the economy and the market predictable and fair: you always know where you stand, whether you are buying bullets, collecting from a business or trading on the marketplace. This article explains how those values are set and which rules business owners may apply.

The country standard price

Every country has a fixed base value for each service: the benchmark that all other prices revolve around. For example:

• The price per bullet in the bullet factory.
• The treatment cost per HP in the hospital.
• The rate for girls in the Red Light District.
• The street price of drugs in each country.

This country standard price gives every country a recognizable, fair price level that players can rely on.

Owners: between -20% and +20%

If you own a business through your properties, you may set the price yourself: but never more than +20% above the country base and never more than -20% below it (so always somewhere between 80% and 120% of the base price). That way you can earn from your customers or compete hard with a lower price, but owners cannot wreck the market with extortionate prices. If a business has no owner, the State simply charges the plain base price, with no markup or discount. This margin was chosen deliberately to keep the economy stable and prevent monopoly abuse.

What determines the value of items?

Besides fixed service rates, tradable items are also affected by condition, rarity and the current market. A vehicle in top shape with strong parts is worth more than a wreck; a scarce item fetches more at auction than something everyone owns. The central valuation is always the starting point, after which supply and demand on the marketplace shape the final price.

Reset at the start of a new season

At the start of every season (and after a full reset), all values are set back to the defaults from the valuation system. That way everyone starts on a level economic playing field: a fresh start in which nobody has a lasting price advantage.

What does it cover?

• Stackable goods: bullets, diamonds, vault code value and drugs.
• Services: treatment per HP, the Red Light rate and casino stakes.
• Possessions: businesses, vehicles, weapons and protection.

In short: one standard, applied everywhere, from the bullet factory to the marketplace. That keeps the entire BELLOCCO economy transparent and fair.

Frequently asked questions

Why does BELLOCCO use one central valuation system?

It keeps prices and values predictable and fair everywhere. Players always know roughly what something should cost.

How much can a business owner change the price?

Between -20% and +20% of the country standard price: so somewhere between 80% and 120% of the base value. Prices outside that margin are not possible.

What happens to prices at an ownerless business?

The State simply charges the plain country base price, with no markup or discount.

Are prices reset every season?

Yes. At the start of a new season or after a full reset, all values return to the defaults.

What affects the value of a vehicle or item?

Condition, rarity and the current market. The central valuation is the starting point; supply and demand do the rest.

Does this valuation also apply on the marketplace?

The country standard is the basis, but between players supply and demand ultimately set the price through buy-now or auction.
