Endgame
 

In MULE and SpaceHoRSE, I've noticed that on the Last turn of the game the computer-run opponents don't sell anything. I don't see anything in the SpaceHoRSE manual to indicate why this occurs.

Is it just that the items are worth their selling prices anyway, so there's no point to selling them? Is there actually a benefit to having the items in your private stock rather than the company store? Would it improve the colony's overall evaluation if the items were in the company store when the game ended?

You were right about the value not changing, since it is the end of the game. The CPU players don't trade, simply to speed through the Last market phase faster. However, the market is still there on the Last turn just in case you WANT to trade something. For example, sometimes I try to beat my own high-cash record by selling everything in the Last market. It doesn't affect your overall score, but it may be interesting for some people.
