Not good Uncle John, can understand your frustration!! Thx for the tip, will beware the guy!!
OH!! Update!! NOW i just got paid a ton of money by another farmer--for almonds and flowers and i didn't give them ANY of those---???? I'm not complaining, but it's weird...
Yes I gave $150.000 got 10 chicken feed,someone else got WoF token so this part is you pay their price,you take your chance and lady luck may smile on you
Stay away from the market or it will rob you blind!!!
Edit: A customer in line has just robbed me of 664 almonds. I didn't even click on him. I want my almonds back as I'm never going to sell them to him.
How do I retrieve them from him?
2nd Edit: Magically the tick over the customer's head for the almonds has itself disappeared just like our gold as compensation for the stuff up.
Bad part of this deal. He does offer some rubbish trades.
Susan, open the Farm Management tab. On the first new tab, Organic Market, there is a question mark at the bottom right of the tab, next to the transfer truck. Click the question mark and a Help screen comes up which shows you all the steps of the new market. I hope this helps.

I just noticed that too--I wanted to see if it was a better deal buying it from the dude with the bubble over his head, and it works out to exactly the same amount. I don't see the point in this unless we're going to make MORE with the other farmers buying our stuff. Wish this was explained better than what I'm able to find so far.
The only thing I can think of is that maybe by selling stuff to your "neighbors", they get happier, and then you may sometimes get a bonus if you do this a lot and it gives you a good reputation with your "neighbors" so that you get more business from them, but so far, that remains to be seen.....hmmmm. Wish someone would address all of this.
UGH!! :cursing: I just accidentally clicked on that stupid neighbor and ended up giving him MOST of my aloe vera gel----that is IT.X( X(X( X( NO MORE!! Takes TOO dang long to produce that stuff compared to what you get for it. Thieves!!! :cursing:
NOW they want most of my honey.....no WAY!!! OMG---I didn't even click on the stupid thing--I clicked WAAAAY over on the side of the screen just to get the bubble thing to go away and it STILL took it!!! Not even anywhere NEAR the farmer person--I didn't click on it at all. If you don't want to get ripped off, don't go NEAR any of these things or you'll lose anything that they're trying to steal from you.
SAME THING JUST HAPPENED TO ME!!! I didn't even click on the guy either and I got ripped off of honey and two other things. NO WAY. What a ripoff. Too bad our little farm worker guys don't come equipped with pitchforks or something to shoo these thieves off of our farms..
THE FARMER'S MARKET IS EVIL.
Guess i won't click any of them anymore... Will warn all ppl in my coop also about that..
When you buy from the neighbours, you also get a bonus of up to 20%, it depends on how fast you fill their order & then they have a smiley face with a tag saying what % you got :thumbup:
it's a trap -_- so, i cost 10 pigfeed for $100.000, which i can made it myself???? just realized it now -_-
it's a big problem for lower level like me , which i have to work hard to find $ and it made me spent the 100.000 just for the 10 pigfeed
Edit by PINJO: merged posts, please use edit button
Alright, new update: Another rollback yesterday, as you probably noticed, to fix the cooperative issues (hopefully). Today there will probably be one final hotfix, and after that, we should finally be good to go ^^
I haven't seen a hot fix yet on US1, so hopefully it will come soon and FIX THESE PROBLEMS!!!!! I'm not doing the Market until then.
Scissors, don't you mean to say: when you sell to the neighbours ????????? I knew about 'how faster delivered, how better the bonus (from +1% to +20%), but I didn't know that you could buy from your neighbours, too???
I am getting confused now, please bring some light! THX ^^
I have had some that want cash for stuff and others that want stuff for cash, its hard to know what is a good or bad deal till after you have filled it & then find out any bonus, so I am not loving them so far. I will give them a chance & see how it goes, but only a couple have managed to tempt me. ^^
And agree with you - up until now I am not that fond of my neighbours as entrepreneurs, either. Much better to just ask them over for drinks and a chat
So far, I let the majority of them leave again, and sometimes I'm tempted to take the advice of DuffyPoo: send my dog after them!
WHY can't they put it someplace like where the horse barns are, where, if you WANT to sell them your stuff, you have to purposely go all the way over to that in order to make a transaction?? By putting it where it is right now--where the garage was--it's in your face and impossible not to see it every time you have to harvest something that's next to the fence. I'd rather they move it to the horse stable area. I've already accidentally clicked on the neighbors at least 3 times and sold them stuff that I didn't want to sell because of the location of the market. I HATE this stupid thing. Either move it somewhere that you have to make an effort to get to it, or give us the ability to block the neighbors from coming to our farms.
EXACTLY!! We need an option where we can chase them off if we don't want them on the property...
OH---one more thing---WHY can't these stupid farmers ask for things that are easy to grow/produce/etc.? Like pigs, donkeys, eggs, corn, etc.---all they ever want is all my stuff that's expensive and takes either hours or DAYS to grow---cherries, honey, fruit cakes, etc.---whatever is the most costly/takes the longest to produce. I need those things a lot more in cakes, soaps, etc. than I do selling them for a measly price just because these beggars show up on the doorstep looking to rip me off....:cursing:
From almost everyone I've heard from on here, his "deals" ain't worth squat. Especially when you're paying good money, i.e. 150K, for cabbage and corn that you could easily grow for FAR less.....
Sells-Most are crazy high #s, will deplete barn stock in no time and leave you working for days to refill the pantrys. Some are things I hate to make, like pasta gift baskets. If the # was smaller it would be better. There is a bonus box on the market page of farm management, I have yet to get any # in it. I did get some bonus from a Neighbor, but I prefer to call the walkers as they are crazy greedy with their huge requests for little to no increase in profits.
Sells - I have had or heard of a few good ones like selling PIG FEED (can you tell I was exicted?) to get that one, since I make it at a loss more often than not I jumped on that one who cares what the price was, lol. Honeydew is another good one, I gather more than I can use everyday so this too was a welcome sell.
I think the market has potential it just needs some major tweeking to make it fair, I really really hope the amounts I am seeing are based on my lvl because those new to the game will quickly cripple their farm and their boat order filling.
SO true. A lower level player could totally be wiped out by this---I'm not at a lower level, but I still had 2/3 of several of my stock wiped out when I accidentally clicked to sell them. NOT GOOD. I have to spend days to make up for that; if I were a lower level, I'd be practically starting all over again. Plus I would much rather use what they're asking for to fill the boat order, too.
P.S. Instead of "neighbors", I prefer to call them "grifters"....
