how to sell industry?

After you win an auction to buy an industry I cannot see how to put it back up for auction?

I bought a winery off the AI town and of course they stopped supplying it so now the value drops but i am stuck with it now?

There is no way to sell industries. Have you tried supplying it yourself?

HI, no not yet. when supplying it then the AI would get a % of the take? just trying to figure out how that part works.

I don't think your allowed to run your own trains on the AI's track. Rememeber SMR is not RRT4.

Hello

I think you have things confused, but then I may be. As far as I am aware, You get a bonus by delivering to your own industry. If the AI delivers to that industry he just receives the standard amount listed. You should be advised that the money in the game is in delivering the finished product not in the raw materials. So you must have a location close to the industry that you can deliver the finished product, since the AI will show no shame in pilfering your stash.

But as far as I know the AI will not profit from you feeding raw materials to your industry but he will steal your finished product.

Note: You do earn some money when the AI feeds your factory.

I have never noticed that the industry gets money by the AI feeding raw materials just when he delivers the finished goods. Something that I will have to take better notice of.

Hi, yes it is a little confusing. yes i was aware i cannot drive on the AI tracks. I have a winery industry i purchased in an AI town. so they stopped supplying the grapes.
I also have a station in the AI town where i own the winery.

so yes i guess this is what happens.

1. I purchase winery from AI
2. AI stopps sending grapes to winery.
3. I send grapes to winery and 20% goes towards the winery capital.
4. As soon as i procuse the end product the AI will probably come along to try and take the finished product.

if the AI takes the finishes product then I guess the owner would start to loose revenue because the AI deosn;t pay for the finished product.

hmmmm.....

the only thing you'll lose out on if the AI collects the end good is the money you would have gotten if you had delivered it.

right, that makes sense then.

so i would make my money from delivering the raw goods and would help increase the value of the winery which in turn adds toward my overall score.

its a shame the owner of the industry doesn't get cut when the opposition steals the end product.

in my case if i stop supplying the winery with grapes there is no product and therefore the winery goes down in value.

so i will test it out later and see if i can take the finished product as well before the AI does.

looks like i got some of this wrong. i loaded the game and realized i had not built a station where i purchased the winery. i was looking at the wrong town.

so on closer inspection i noticed the AI was delivering grapes to the winery and i had profit but no yearly revenue.

so i started delivering grapes and my profit took a nose dive for some reason. then i noticed the wine and profits went up and so did yearly revenue as soon as i started picking up the wine.

then it became a race to pick up the most wine.
