Buy[]
Buying[]
Buying items from customers is the heart of your business. Customers will come in every few minutes, each one with an item to sell.
Clicking on a customer opens up the Buy Screen.
Haggling[]
The most important thing about buying items is haggling. Customers won't always offer you what an item is worth, and most of their offers are going to be high. The cheaper you can get the item for, the more profit you'll make, so haggle with them as much as you can.
To haggle, use the slider or the input box and offer the customer a price. If they accept, you'll buy the item for that price. If they don't accept, they'll lose patience. The lower your offer, the more patience they'll lose.
Candy[]
If a customer loses all their patience, they'll become Fed Up. At this point, the only way to get them back is with a piece of candy. Make sure you always have candy around for rare or expensive items you don't want to lose!
Sell[]
Selling[]
To sell an item, drag it out to any available space. Some items go on shelves, some items go on walls, and some items go on both, while bigger items tend to go on the floor.
Once an item is out for sale, it will take some time to find a buyer. Some items will sell quickly, while other items, especially rare or expensive items, take longer.
Once an offer comes in, you've got a choice to make. You can take that offer and pocket the cash, or wait for another offer to come in. New offers come in every 30 minutes. Be careful, though; new offers aren't necessarily higher, so it's up to you to keep track of the value and how much profit you're making.
In a hurry? Entice a buyer with candy and get an offer now, or get a new offer immediately if you already have one.
