Please check them out to see what is urgently needed, generally needed and, in some cases, never needed. The following guidelines are what our general needs, but reviewers on GoodCity will see real-time supply and demands scores for every type of items and consider other factors such as: quality requirements, size constraints, hazardous items, logistically difficult items, voltage, compatibility, parts, and so on.
