Stocking defective goods in shops
jsalemi:
And don't forget the bad snapdragons -- if memory serves, they decrease nearby sims' motives, instead of increasing them, possibly to the point of death if the sim's needs are low enough.

I could be mistaken, but don't the faulty craftables sell for less than the non-faulty ones? For example, when you sell a broken toy robot directly from inventory, it sells for a bit less than the perfect ones. Doesn't this also work with the OFB shelves? Personally, I choose to think of it as 'scratch and dent' merchandise being sold for a discount.

Nope. Prices are prestamped onto the item, so what you restock with doesn't affect anything. In fact, to a great degree, prices are simply entirely arbitrary.

This can be exploited when running a bakery. Prices of meals cooked from fresh food is higher than normal food. Initially stock the bakery with goods cooked from fresh food. Once you set the price, restocked goods cooked from normal food will be sold at the initial higher price unless you reset the price.

There really isn't a point to trying to "exploit" anything. You can just use the "custom price" tag when a sim sets the price of an item to set any arbitrary price you want. Unless you go COMPLETELY overboard, and that's pretty damn hard, you can just set anything you damn well please. I sell the damn things off for $1000 each, no problem. :P
