Beware the Market Vendor

  • Oh, just a suggestion, I had the same problem when hitting my sheds or fields, by the fence.  I changed things around and put the house and deco's by the fence.
    Hope this helps.

    Yeah I've stop clicking the NPC for the fruit stand that offers stuff for cash, as the items he gives for the cash do not count and when I go to use said items one of these errors pop-up.

    The walk up customers to your stand are asking to buy stuff from you. It is up to you if you want to sell it to them. The "Vendor" the guy with the money over his head want to sell you items. It could be any thing for the amount shown to you. Beware his deals are usually not very good. I suggest you check the walk ups before selling and stay away from the "Vendor" all together.

    The guy with cash above his head is bugged, the items he sells you do not count

    @archerbob (AU1) the items he sells do count but are usually not worth what you have to pay for it. I suggest if you are going to use him take a screen shot of everything in your inventory before you buy from him then buy what ever garbage he is selling and re check your inventory against your screen shots. I'm sure you will see that he does indeed sell you stuff.

    The stuff I buy from him shows in my inventory, but when I go to use I get an error pop-up and when I refresh the items causing the error pop-up vanish, ergo the items the vendor with cash over his head is bugged

    This is the first that I have heard of this problem. You may want to take a couple of screen shots showing the sale of the item the inventory count of the item and you trying to use said item then contact support to report the problem. Once you get a confirmation email back from GGS then send them the screens shots as well as discription of what you did and what happened.

    Is anyone else having a problem with the Organic Market guy?  You pay the money and he is supposed to give you something for it.  Well, I have paid him twice and not received anything!  I am a level 153 so I pay him a pretty penny for items.

    @TinaM1 (US1) It could just be a display error & if your reload your game using CTRL+F5 your items may appear. If you purchased a mystery item it will be difficult to see if you have been credited with it, if you do not know what it was. You could contact support, giving the time of the purchase & they should be able to help you.

    Thank you.
  • I did the '?' vendor for once (it was asking for 10,000 dollars) and i got 700 gold!! I guess the vendor market has its ups AND downs!

    The guy in the overalls has always been a rip off. I try and warn all members of this but I guess everyone just wants to try him. The neighbor vendors I get very good money from.
  • I marvel at how the makers of this game think we are totally gullible!  Omar the Beer Bellied is selling his wares now, and he's offering 8M dollars for something like 44,444 gold.  HE claims it's at a discount of over 80%, and if you look closely at HIS crossed-out price, this is a "true" statement.  Now go on over to Stacie Stock Exchange and compare HER price for the same amount of dollars:  she wants just under 66K gold for 8M dollars, which is more than Omar, but is NOT being offered at a "significant discount".  I just like comparing this stuff, and realize that very few people actually use these vendors except for the "true" deals (100K dollars for 0 gold)...

    I have hovered over the little man and nothing happens. No offer, no nothing.
    There will be a dollar bill looking thing over him when the offer is running. It's not an all the time thing.

    At level 60, vendor offers ? for 45000 dollars.
    Should the ? offer from the vendor be removed or changed to a lower price?

    Nope :(  that's how it works You never know what you're paying 45000 dollars for  :D until you buy it  ;)

    The offers never give anything with a value near 45000 dollars.  Gives almost always certificates, water, and horseshoes, sometimes liquid fertilizer.  Rarely anything better, never got anything actually worth that much, never got gold, seaweed fertilizer, or an amount of other items enough to add up and made into profit.

    @dchen1 (US1) not every thing in the game is set up for profit. Like a corner store, you need to have the basics to sell regardless of profit, like milk, bread & eggs . ;)
  • You'll find as you level up, he charges 95k which appears to be the highest. But still the same items as 45k. I've not seen seaweed or gold or cert yet.

    The problem is not about selling, when prices for the ? offer increase, the rewards do not increase.  The 1000 and 5000 dollar offers were the best but rewards did not increase as the price increases after 5000.  I will never buy the ? from the vendor after level 60.  I am not going to pay 45000 for an 80% chance of getting 25 horseshoes, 12 certificates, or 12 water.

    My vendor on all 3 farms is continually selling goods. If I was billionaire fisher-farmer could buy a mountain of stuff lol Doing routine stuff which I do a few times daily doesn't work

    He's been on my "ignore" list since the first few times I bought from him. Wish he'd just move on down the road.

    my vendors are definitely broke.... I buy nothing from them! LOL
  • Shay1968 (US1)Shay1968 (US1) Posts: 1,324
    Well I certainly cannot afford to buy anything from the vendor at this time.  I am not going to waste the energy I spent trying to accumulate points for coins on an "appearance" . I want something useful!

    And seeing the rustic skin for the doghouse tells me what a joke this whole thing is. 53 coins for something you can buy with ONE farm dollar.  I see it is an insult that they are even offering it from the trader.  Are they saying these coins are only worth one farm dollar? If so I would like to trade in quite a bit of my farm dollars for coins. Or are they saying, here is something you can buy with the small amount of coins you have gotten.

    The vendor is the guy in the overalls in the organic market.  The trader is selling the one selling items for WWC coins.  Confusing, I know.

    im getting somthing likes that always after i get animal  feed or fretlizer  from  npc stand on side of the farm
    wheni try to use thos food or fretlizer think he scam cuz after i close  game and reopen there no food to feed my animals

    The walk up customers to your stand are asking to buy stuff from you. It is up to you if you want to sell it to them. The "Vendor" the guy with the money over his head want to sell you items. It could be any thing for the amount shown to you. Beware his deals are usually not very good. I suggest you check the walk ups before selling and stay away from the "Vendor" all together.

    This is so interesting, I thought that vendor was actually giving me a bonus for the items I had sold to the walk up customers, lol.  Wow, what a dummy I have been.  I just tested your info against the vendor guy.  He had an offer of seeweed feed for $45,000 and I went ahead and clicked.  Sure enough $45,000 dollars disappeared from my farm dollars account.  Never again will I ever buy from that guy.  I will do my best to make sure he is hidden from my view while looking at any of my farms, lol.   Wow, am I the most dumb player around, lol.

    Update:  The vendor is wanting $45,000 for 400 XP.  Now that is not worth that much money to me when I can make 204 XP just making wildflower bouquets.  I'll save my cash, hahahaha.  I am laughing all the way to the bank account that will no longer be supporting this vendor guy :smiley:
