Default How do I access Someones Trading Warehouse?

There are 2 ways to access a Neighbours Trading Warehouse:

When you see your Neighbour, by clicking on their avatar and selecting Show Trading Warehouse. This can be anywhere you can see them when they are online, for example on any farm, the Inn or at the Trade Marketplace.

Via the Neighbours bar at the bottom of your game screen: Any Neighbours that are Trading products will have a beige dot the right and just below their picture in the Neighbours bar at the bottom of the game screen. Neither of you need to be online to trade this way. Example:
You can Order your Neighbour bar by "*Order by Trade Offers". Click on any picture in the Neighbours bar and chose that option then all Neighbours who have added any offers to their Trading Warehouse will show up to the right of your own picture and have a beige dot. Use the arrows to the right of the bar to scroll through them. Once you have bought or sold products from each section (Sell Regular Products and Buy Super Facility Products) their beige dot will be removed. Once you have Ordered by Trade Offers you can then click on a picture again and chose "Refresh Trade Offers" which will then refresh the order and update your neighbours beige dots.
You can access your Neighbours Trading Warehouse by clicking on their picture in the Neighbours bar at the bottom of the game screen and then clicking on Show Trading Warehouse as shown below.

To access a strangers Trading Warehouse go to the Trade Marketplace: Most farmers that want to Trade will be in that marketplace.
Farmers with offers available (super facility products they want to sell and or regular/primary products they want to buy) in their Trading Warehouse, will have a beige background on their name. NOTE: This is a paler colour to the brown background that indicates they are selling to the mayor.

This example shows a farmer with a brown and a beige background indicating they are selling to the mayor and also have offers available in their Trading Warehouse.

Click on their avatar and select Show Trading Warehouse as shown below.
OR if they are chatting at market and are still present, you can click on what they are saying in the chat box and that will also show you their avatar menu.



In all cases when you open their Trading Warehouse you will see something similar to this:

The window has 2 sections:
  • If the user has products they want to buy or sell each section will have a number on it in red. This example shows the Sell Regular Products Section is selected as it is orange with 5 items, and the Buy Super Facility Products in brown with 8 products.
  • To Sell Regular Products you need to click on the Sell Regular Products button at the top of the warehouse to view that section as shown above. You will be able to buy a pre-determined amount of crops, logs, tree fruits, flowers, fish, animal products.

  • To Buy Super Facility Products you need to click on the Buy Super Facility Products button at the top of the warehouse to view that section. Shown selected here:


BUYING Super Facility Products:


The arrows at the bottom of the window allow you to move from one section of the warehouse to the next one (inner arrows) and from one farmers warehouse to the next one (outer arrows) without having to click on each section or close the window. When it is Neighbours you will also see their profile picture if they have one, when it is strangers, you will see their avatar picture instead.

Each box shows you the picture and the name of the product, the amount available to buy and at what Mark Up price (for Super Facility products: anything from Free all the way up to 50% above market price)

When you click Buy your products will be added to storage and the coins deducted. Any item not available for sale will have "Already Sold" in the item box. Example:
You may ONLY buy ONE Super Facility product from each neighbour or stranger at Trade Marketplace per day. Once you have bought a Super Facility product the box will say "Already Sold" and the rest of the offer boxes will grey out:


You can then close the Offer Window buy clicking on the red X top right of the window and move on to viewing the the regular products they have or view the next Trading Warehouse.


SELLING Regular Products:
This is also referred to as selling Primary products, which are crops, tree logs, tree fruits, flowers, fish.
Remember, to Sell Regular Products you need to click on the Sell Regular Products button at the top of the warehouse to view that section.

This is an example of what you could see:
The arrows at the bottom of the window allow you to move from one section of the warehouse to the next one (inner arrows) and from one farmers warehouse to the next one (outer arrows) without having to click on each section or close the window. When it is Neighbours you will also see their profile picture if they have one, when it is strangers, you will see their avatar picture instead.

Offers greyed out are what you can not sell to them. Offers with a blue Sell button are ones you can sell to them. You can only sell them one category.

Each box shows you your Trading limit for the amount of products you are selling and the Mark Up that they will pay for them.

You can not sell someone what you are wanting to buy yourself. If you have made a Purchase Offer in your own warehouse for Mugo Pine you could not sell those to someone who also wants Mugo Pine you could sell them another category if one was available.

If you see a greyed out Sell button on a category it could be for any of the following reasons:
  • You have already sold them a product today
  • They are buying the same item that you are also wanting.

Here are some examples. You can mouse over the greyed out Sell button to see some information:






When you Sell them an item, the offers will then all grey out and the product you bought will show as Already Bought.
You Reward will be given and you will see a brief example of the reward in white lettering. Remember your reward is 2x your Trading Limit for that category and the product in that category that you are wanting to buy yourself. Example:

You can then close the Offer Window buy clicking on the red X top right of the window and move on to viewing the the super facility products they have or view the next Trading Warehouse.


When you buy something from a farmer Trading Warehouse, or they no longer have products available to buy, their beige color will disappear from their name label, for neighbours the beige dot on their picture will no longer show.


The regular/primary products you buy in your Trading Warehouse do NOT count for Quests even when you have the Trade Lifeline.
