Selling Trade Goods
|

If you sell a trade good to one of your opponents, how long does he have it for? Forever? Is there any way to stop letting him use it? It would seem that the value of trade goods far outweighs any one-time payment deal that you can negotiate for a game on a huge galaxy.

Forever. Still, it is often worth it to sell it to him (them), since you get an immediate and noticeable economy boost which you may use to outproduce and outdistance your enemies. It really doesn't matter if you shared that +20% morale bonus with the AI:s if you already have 2x as many planets as the largest of them...

Here's what confuses me about Trade Goods though: Can you sell them only once or do you have a chance to sell them to every Civilization you come across? And once you sell it, you DO lose the effect it had on your own civ right?

No... that is exactly why trade goods are worth it. I mean, for what they cost, most of them aren't all that great if you only look at what they do for your empire. However, you do have the ability to sell them to any (or all) empires that you choose, so you could, in theory, get every one of the major and minor civs to buy it from you, each of them offering a really hefty price. And you can continue to use it even after you sell it. And no, they can't sell it to anyone else.... that's the advantage of actually building the things. One other caveat: once you sell it to them, they get it for the rest of the game...... even if they later go to war with you.

"sell the aphrodesiac to the other 5 majors + minors for $200+ apiece (or maybe some tech)."
If you go for 20 bc/turn deals, you should get around $1000 for any of the Trade Goods. More if you get Diplomatic Translators first.
