Default Buying and selling between farmers

You can sell Primary products and Super Facility products to players.

To be able to Trade you need to have earned the Influential Neighbour Trophy.
To earn the trophy you only need to have 8 Neighbours on your Neighbour List.

If you are not familiar with what a what a Super Facility is, please click on this link: My Super Facility.
Before you can sell Super Facility Products to start making the products in your Super Facility.


Buying and Selling while Online:

You must be online to Buy and Sell using these methods.

The Buyer and Seller do not need to be neighbours or buddies.

All transactions can take place anywhere within Farm Town where you can see other farmers.

There is no limit to the amount of Primary products you can sell. You can sell several of the same or different Primary products to the same farmer as long as they are still able to buy.

Primary products are:
  • crops
  • fruit or nuts from trees
  • logs or branches
  • flowers
  • hen and goose eggs
  • cow and goat milk
  • horse hair
  • any chopped tree logs or branches
  • sheep and llama wool
  • rabbit fleece
  • turkey and peacock feathers
  • fish from waters

Super Facility Products can vary in how many different products there depending on which Super Facility that you get that week.
You can sell ONE Super Facility product to a farmer ONCE per day.
If you have more than one product, or you make more products and have more to sell later, sell them to different farmers.
There is no limit to the amount of super facility products you can sell. As long as you are making them, you can sell them to other farmers before the day ends.

You can sell Primary and Super Facility products to online Neighbours, Using the Sell Products to xxx option in the Neighbours bar at the bottom of the game screen,
OR by meeting farmers wherever you see them online in the game, on a farm or at Trade market by clicking on their avatar and selecting the Sell Products to xxx form the menu that shows.

You can sell to an online Neighbour without having to meet up, by looking for them in your neighbours bar and seeing if any of them have a green dot on their picture. If they do that means they are online.
The arrows to the left of the Neighbours bar will let you scroll the bar to view more neighbours.

Example of an online Neighbour:



You can also order your neighbours bar so that any Online Neighbours are next to each other in the Neighbours bar.

To do this, click on any picture in the neighbours bar, then click on Order by Online Status
You can also Refresh the Online Status if needed by clicking on a picture again, then clicking on Refresh Online Statuses



To sell to an Online Neighbour, click on their picture and then click on Sell Products to xxx



You can sell products to online farmers in the the Trade Marketplace.
The Job Marketplace is mostly used for those looking to hire workers and those wanting work.


There is also the Trading Warehouse where you can sell and buy both Primary and Super Facility products from anyone. This method will be explained later in this Chapter.


To initiate a transaction with an online farmer:
Click on an avatar OR use the same option in the Neighbour bar and select Sell Products to xxx



The Seller now has a few selling options to complete the sale offer.



There is a little drop down arrow to the right of each section which allows you to change the options for selling.

Category: choose whether you would like to sell
  • Crops
  • Logs
  • Tree Fruits
  • Flowers
  • Fish
  • Animal Products
  • Super Facility Products


Product: choose the specific item you would like to sell.


Quantity: choose how much of the chosen product you would like to sell.
When selling Super Facility Products this will always be all your stock, you can not change this.

Mark Up. Choose your asking price for your product:
  • 10% below market price: if the Seller wants to give the Buyer a discount at his own expense.
  • At market price: this will be the same as selling the products at the market.
  • 10% to 50% above market price: in this case the seller is making a profit.
    When selling products from a Super Facility you have more market price options, to sell for Free all the way up to 50% above market price.

Clicking on the Notepad it allows you to send a short message with your sale offer.
In the same respect, when you receive a sale offer yourself, you will see the same notepad when you review the offer.
This allows you to send a message back to them. You may want to say thanks, re-negotiate the offer or even or reject the offer.



The Seller sends the offer by clicking on the green check mark at the bottom of their Sale offer window.
The Buyer will receive the sale offer showing them what you are selling, for what price and if there is any Mark Up % above or below market price.



When the Buyer reviews the offer they will see a confirmation of what you are offering in a popup.
They will also see the amount they can buy in so many hours.



If they click on the green check mark the offer will be finalized and the Seller will be given the option to make further offers to the buyer.



If the Buyer declines the offer, the Seller will be given the option to renegotiate the terms of that same offer.


The final price that the Seller and the Buyer see, when selling Primary products may be different.
The Buyer is always paying the price for a medium box, even if the Seller is selling a combination of large and medium boxes.
The difference will be compensated by the Mayor.

NOTE FOR SELLERS: Gift items from the gift page can not be sold to another farmer. If you wanted to sell blueberries and all you have in storage for example is Blueberries (Gift) then you can not sell those to another farmer. You can either use them in your own facilities or sell them to the mayor at market. Only the regular (medium) and large sizes can be sold to another farmer.

NOTE TO BUYERS: Every Farmer can purchase a minimum of 1500 Primary products from other farmers every 12 hours. Whereas the Seller has no limit in the amount he or she can sell.

If you have reached your limit for buying Primary Products and someone tries to sell them to you they will be shown something similar to this:


This limit ONLY applies to buying Primary Products.
It does not apply to buying Super Facility products.
The only limit you have for buying super facility products is you can only buy one product from each farmer once per day.


To see when you can next buy Primary Products:
Go to your farm, open the Yellow toolbox and click on the Show Times tool (looks like a clock).



Then click on the Gamewide section and look at the top of the list.
You will see Buy Products from Others



If there is a green check mark showing you can buy primary products.
If there is a time showing, that is approximately how much time you have to wait until you can buy them again.

Examples:
