    I've been playing this game for four years now, playing nearly every day. At first I didn't realize how difficult it could be to replace the gold that I was initially given, but I learned fast not to spend gold on things that could be purchased with game dollars. For quite some time I also refused to buy gold for real money at any price. When Lester showed up on my farm I filled orders as requested, skipping those that required something that I didn't wish to sell. I gladly accepted the $25,000 that Lester gave me for completing the ten sales, but I didn't take advantage of his gold offer. Eventually I bought some gold on a two for one offer, as that was the best that I had seen. Still, I spent gold carefully, as I didn't wish to spend too much real money. Lester continued to show up periodically (and unpredictably). As far as I can remember, Lester always asked me to spend more gold than I had at the time, and when he did so there was never another gold offer available to me. Thus, I cannot say if such an offer would prevent Lester from offering me gold. Eventually I figured out that he generally asked me to spend about 50% more gold than I had on hand. So, if I had 46,000 gold on hand, Lester would ask me to spend 69,000. That meant that I had to buy 23,000 gold at normal price ($19.99 of real money). The math works out like this: Real money spent = $19.99. Gold purchased = 23,000. Gold spent on my farms = 69,000 (including any gold that I contributed to my co-op). Gold given to me by Lester = 69,000. Benefit to me = 23,000 added gold + 69,000 spent on my farms. Thus I received 92,000 worth of benefits for spending only $19.99 of real money. Compared to buying gold at normal prices, that is a 4 to 1 improvement, which is by far the best deal that I have seen. On top of that, the amount of gold that I have on hand increased, so Lester will ask me to spend more (and buy more) next time. If I don't want to spend too much money, I simply spend down my gold to whatever level I choose.
    Now, I don't know what triggers Lester's appearance. It could even be a combination of things. Perhaps you must buy gold at least once, spend some of it, and be at least a certain level. I have no idea. I just wish Lester would appear a bit more often!

    They retired him. He may or may not return.

    He never visited my farm so he and his locusts seem to be mythical creatures to me.....maybe my farm is locust proof?

    I know a lot of people did not like Lester, but using him wisely and good timing with other GGS specials made him especially beneficial for me.  So I always looked forward to his visits to my farm.  What happened to him?  Where is he?  Please bring him back to our farms!  :p  :Do:)
    Dear he is dead he was very Ill in the last visit on ur farm yet u didn't set him free on time so by overworking he is no more so try finding his son or something would be better then asking him may God R.I.p his tired soul

  • I always liked when he came around.  For me it was free upgrades. Just use him wisely is the key.

    @farmer mc gee, when was the last time Lester showed up at your farm?
    He's been disabled for about 6 months now.

    I hadn't seen him for much longer than that personally, probably close to a year.. But that's because we've never been privy to what makes him decide to visit in the first place. :)
