The College of #grah: Everything I Know About Spore, I Learned in Grah
Faizah:
Is there a list somewhere of what spices are good, and in what order? I've heard pink and purple are good, red sucks, everyone starts out red. (Though one of my home planets has a pink moon.) Don't waste your time on a red spice system, etc, etc.
Gus Smedstad:
If you have them in your hold, it's obvious. They're sorted in order of rarity.
As I recall, it's Red, Yellow, Blue, Green, Pink, Purple. I may have the placement of Pink incorrect.
Red's worth at least 10,000 each.
Yellow's worth at least 14,000 each.
Blue's worth at least 20,000.
Green and Pink are 30,000.
Purple is worth 40,000.
I may be off a bit on some of those, but I know I've gotten at least that much for each of them.
EDIT: I should add that the real problem with Red isn't that it's worth less than the other spices, it's that it's hard to find someone who will pay full price. Lots of places have a glut of it and will only offer 1000 or less.

Zazazu:
Once you have a little free money, it's totally worth it to just buy spice and trade in addition to what you can get from your colony. Paying $4k for blue spice is no big deal if you'll get $20k for it a couple of stars away. Buy it when it's cheap and sell it whenever you see a good buy price. It's all free money since you're going to be star-hopping anyway.
Gus Smedstad:
True, unless you're getting near 99 anyway. I've had occasions where I was carrying around 99 Blue spice produced by one of my colonies, and was having trouble finding some place that would pay a decent price.

J. M. Pescado:
Target goals for unloading spice: As a rule, red and yellow spice have a target price of around $10K. Less is acceptable if you are in a hurry to dump it for some reason, 6K being acceptable for red, 8-9K being fine for yellow. Bluespice typically has a bottom price of around 10K, and 14K can be considered a good price for it. Greenspice, bottom dump price of about 10K, you should probably hold out for at least 20K, and peak values are around 40K. Pinkspice, around 12-15K is a lowball, 20-30K better. Purple, 15-20K is a low-end bulk price, and I have sold cargoes at 58K apiece before, for a real killing. It may be worth selling only PART of a purple load before you refill your hold just to hunt for that 58K.
