Dealing with Customers (Sellers)
- As you progress through the game, you'll encounter various customers that would offer you items together with their "Asking Price". Here's are some of them with tips that you might want to consider when dealing with them. Good luck!
Normal Customers
Method 1:
- Simply accept if you can obviously get a profit, reject if you think it's not a good deal.
- Just remember that the (Estimated Value) of the item can be increased by 20% after polishing.
Method 2:
- One alternative way is to follow this pattern:
- First, check the (Estimated Value) and multiply it by 1.2, then deduct the (Asking Price).
- If the answer is below $100, reject the offer.
- If the answer is equal or above $100, accept the offer.
- NOTE: Change the minimum $100 profit depending on your preference.
When To Sell? (Quick Sell)
- After polishing the item, better keep most of them into your shelf unless you need money to buy new items. Sell expensive items first, focus on "Item Types" and sell one of them if you have multiple expensive items under that same "Item Type".
- TIP: During the early part of the game, items are very cheap so try to horde some of them then sell them to buyers later on at a higher price. For more info check the "Dealing with Customers (Buyers)" section below for tricks on how to sell your items.
- NOTE: You can buy more Shelves (space) once your first Shelf is full. Would recommend watching an ad here to get them for free, especially early game.
Buy and Keep Cheap Items!
- TIP: If the asking price is below or around $100 (the cheaper, the better), and the item is one of the item types that buyers usually look for, then buy that item. Keep it into your Shelf, then sell it at a higher price once a buyer is available (you can generate nice profits here if done right).
- For more info check the "Dealing with Customers (Buyers)" section below for tricks on how to sell your items.
- NOTE: Change the maximum $100 to $200~$500 buy price depending on your preference and current game progress.
VIP Customers
- Optional, they usually offer nice items though, but you need to watch an ad to check what they have.
- Follow same patterns above when dealing with them.
Wanted Customers (Stolen Items)
Method 1:
- Simply call the police and claim your $500 ($2000 if you watch an ad).
Method 2:
- One alternative way is to follow this pattern:
- Check the (Estimated Value) and multiply it by 1.2, then deduct the (Asking Price).
- If the answer is equal or below $500, call the police.
- If the answer is above $500, accept the offer.
- NOTE: Change the minimum $500 profit depending on your preference.
- Sometimes these wanted customers would sell you valuable items which would give you a nice boost in profits early game!
Dealing with Customers (ROBBERS!)
- Just watch an ad to kick them out, or give them what they want.
- TIP: For expensive items, you might want to consider keeping them into your Shelf, and only sell when you need the money. This way you'll always have a backup cash in case you'll need to buy expensive items.
Dealing with Customers (Buyers)
- Buyers would sometimes visit your Shop, looking for items to buy.
- NOTE: At the moment, they would just ask for "Item Types" and not for specific items, so I would highly recommend that you keep at least x2 for each Item Type listed below.
Here's An Example Trick:
- Example Item Type to Keep: Figures ("action figures")
- Keep x1 or x2 "Figures" (cheapest price you can find).
- Keep x1 "Figures" (most expensive price you can find, usually from VIP customers or Wanted persons). If you have x2 expensive "Figures", this is also a good time to sell 1 of them (the cheaper one. because you only need 1 expensive item as stated above. Also do this for other Item Types.
- Once a buyer is present and looking to buy a "Figures" (Item Type), his or her asking price would always be the most expensive "Figures" item you currently have.
- TIP: The trick here is to sell the cheapest "Figures" item/s to generate nice profits! "Swipe right" to check how many items you have available then check the shelf to make sure the item's Sell Value is lower than the buyer's offer.
- NOTE: If you only have x1 item for that Item Type, you can just reject the buyer for now, or sell if you like (when you need the money to buy more items).
List of Item Types:
- Antique
- Bone (rarely asked, sell most of them if you like).
- Book
- Camera
- Classic
- Coin
- Figures (once you get Alpha Potato early game, keep it so you can sell your cheap Figures to buyers at a higher price!).
- Gemstone
- Gun (rarely asked, sell most of them if you like).
- Jewel (rarely asked, sell most of them if you like).
- Knife (rarely asked, sell most of them if you like).
- Painting
- Ring
- Signed
- Statue
- Watch
- NOTE: You can buy more Shelves (space) once your first Shelf is full. Would recommend watching an ad here to get them for free, especially early game.
Spending Money:
Upgrades
- Just collect them all!
SHOP
- Move to a new one after collecting all Upgrades.
- Make sure that you have enough money to buy more items though after spending cash on a newer one.
Other Notes:
- There are so many ways to boost your cash or profits just by watching ads, but these are all optional.
