Got a family member or friend who has quit playing?
1] If they have FT$$, ask them to buy you something
2] If they are short a couple dollars, ask them to level up a few, or let you work it for them. Then they can buy you something
3] Ask if they-or-you will put all their good stuff in storage, make their farms full fields for crops, and work, or let you work them to trade crops to you.
4] If they get tired of you bugging them...... suggest that a nominal gift card for Christmas might tend to silence you.
then go shopping while you await-eight
