Looking at my stats and cost I'm pretty sure it's cost is equal to 1 day's income. Your bank size is 2 days income x0.75 so your bank should always be bigger than the cost of a 2x24 PPT, should be 1.5 times bigger at least.

Then I would guess that your bank is messed up like some of the others since you should be able to hold enough naq under any circumstances.

it does the same thing with or without miners in it or not it just doubles what my bank can hold and that would be the price like say i hold 50 bill naq and so i go to the market to buy the 2x24hr ppt and it would say like 100 or more bill to get it it just dosent make sense to me




ps srry if i dont use commas i dont like them even tho they might help :P

Sorrow is correct, the formulas work in such a way that your bank size should always be large enough to at least cover the cost of the 48 hr Market PPT. The 48 hr PPT does change cost according to how many Miners you have trained, and also your Realm Alert level, because both of those items change your per turn income, which also affects the size of your bank, and the cost of the PPT. (If I use the Market 48 hour PPT I always untrain all Miners and set Realm Alert level to None because this makes the 48 hour PPT the cheapest it can be bought for...)

Others this Era have had bank size issues, and many more probably also have them but just do not realize it until faced with a dilemma such as yours. Here is the thread on some issues related to the Market 20% bank bonus BUT, in it is also a very precise explanation by Forum of how the Bank size and bonus are calculated, maybe this will help you make your case about your current Bank size:

Tomorrow (or later today - Wednesday) is the Admin chat and you might want to try to get onto that and alert the Admin about your bank size issue, be prepared to give him your account id and info!

Hope this helps, :-)
