Also in Forest City, bids not read yet

AGSIST knows these elevators are here but does not read their bids yet, so no price is shown for them.

Where these come from. The AGSIST elevator network reads each elevator’s posted bid board directly; no third-party bid feed is used for the bids on this page. A bid shows only if the board was read successfully in the last 6 hours and did not fail on the latest pass, the price was posted in the last 72 hours, and its delivery period has not ended. This page is a snapshot and is rebuilt through the day; the live page has the newest board and nearby elevators. Basis is cash minus the futures contract named under it. A “Hold to” line names the later month this elevator posts that comes out best once storage and interest are taken off: its posted carry (that month’s bid minus the nearest one), net of storage at 3.5¢ a month (default), interest at 7% a year (default), no shrink (default); put in your own costs on Store or sell.
