OFFICIAL Problems with Buying/Selling Trading

[Farmer_Susan]

This is for Farmer Squeak's account: 100003545226144

Task is to Buy from other farmers 4 times in Your trading warehouse
(create Regular Products purchase offers in your Trading Warehouse so farmers visiting can sell to you.)

I thought I knew how to do this one so I started a dairy products thing, went to my trading warehouse, and set each of 7 or 8 products to Free (since it didn't specify what they needed to sell for). I came back a few hours later and all products had been purchased by neighbors but NONE registered has having sold. I thought it was a glitch so I tried it again tonight - made all new purchase orders - bought a bunch of stuff from farmers in their trading houses in case I was thinking of it wrong and I needed to buy. I had my super neighbor go to Squeak's trading warehouse and buy something. Another neighbor did, too. But still - it shows that I still need to do 4 more.

Btw, it really IS confusing that in big read letters, it says "BUY" - but when you hover over it, it says that you need to create purchase orders.

Help? Can't IMAGINE what I'm doing wrong!

Hi Susan,
You have to set up the regular produces that you want to buy in the trading warehouse for others to sell to you. This one has nothing to do with the Super Facility products.


You set those in the tab with this label:



Then you have to wait for others to sell those to you.

Ah, OK, thanks. That worked. Hope it's not too late in the day for others to sell to me. Also hope I rememeber how to do this for the next time! LOL

Hi JNelson

At Trade Market, the brown button is for selling products from your storage.

The green button is for selling products to other farmers.

All colors in both markets are explained in the following link frlm our Game Guide:

Hi JNelson,

Could you be forgetting that you can sell more than just regular products to Tom the NGP (Non-game player)?

Selling Mainly intended for selling to Tom (NGP), so you might want sell non ingredients, gifts in your gift box, excess products, excess harvests, decorations and so on.

This one is in both Markets. Many like to sell things like non-ingredients before hiring or getting hired but preferably are not at the Job Marketplace to do any trading with other farmers. The farmers there are mainly there to hire or get hired.

With the introduction of Trading with other Farmers and the Super Facility new buttons were added at the Trade Marketplace to indicate if you were there to Buy or Sell with Farmers. You could be at the Trade Marketplace to buy or sell regular prodcuts or super facility prodcuts.

There was also the need to keep one market for Hiring and the other for Trading.


Selling to a Farmer indicates when you DO want to sell something to other farmers. You could use this if you want to SELL either regular products or super facility products to another Farmer.


Buying from a Farmer is similar to SF but in this case indicates you want to BUY regular Products or super facility products.


Trading Warehouse Offers

Neighbours also at the trade Marketplace would see a Beige colour behind your Avatar name when you still have Super Facility offers for sale in your Neighbour Section and when you have Regular Offers in your Regular prodcuts section.

Those that do not have you as thier Neighbour at the Trade Marketplace would see a Beige colour behind your Avatar name when you still have Super Facility offers for sale in your Trade Marketplace section and when you have Regular Offers in your Regular prodcuts section.

When you still have sale offers in ANY of those sections that are not bought yet. Your TO button will be Beige.

Hi JNelson,

When you first arrive at either market one of the options in the first message Tom shows you is "I want to sell my harvests or gifts". With that option you can sell to Tom anything that you can see in both Harvests & Products, Items and any Accepted Gifts you don't want.

What you can not do using that method is Sell the Export products you gained from Facility Chains or the EXTRA Super Facility Products you got for free from making products in your Super Facility.

Regular Products have several ways to buy or sell them and won't always mean they are needed for any Goals.

How any Farmer wants to use the buttons at Trade Marketplace is always up to them.

For some of the online Trading Goals you could use the buttons at Trade to do something like this:

Use the BF button when your Goal is to BUY

Use the SF button when your Goals is to SELL

Use the 3 dots to be more specific and change the wording in it.

REGULAR or SUPER FACILITY or even shorter if you think most farmers would know what something like REGS or SF would mean.

You could probably also fit Markup 10% over in as well if your Goal also needs to make a profit so that Markup has to be changed to over market price.

If you wanted to use a combination of both, then you are helping other famers know what you need and if they have relevant goals they need to complete, you are both helped when any sales complete your Goals.
