Starting a trade

Right-click a trader and choose **Trade with** their name.

Walk up to the trader.
Right-click them.
Choose Trade with Gregg (or The Trader). The trade window opens after their greeting.

Choose Talk instead if you want to chat first. You can still pick Trade from the conversation.

The trade window

You put a tin can on the table. Gregg is interested.

Here is what you see, from top to bottom:

Part	What it shows
You Give	What you are handing over, with its total value.
The Deal	What the trader thinks of the deal right now.
You Get	What you are asking for, with its total value.
Your Bag	Everything you carry that this trader buys, with the price. Things they don't want are not shown.
His Stock	What the trader can give you, how many, and the price of each.

How to move things around:

Drag from Your Bag onto You Give, and from His Stock onto You Get.
Click adds one. Hold Shift to add all.
You can also drag items in from your normal inventory window.
Use the - and + on a line to change the amount.
Clear empties the whole table. Close leaves without trading.

Making a deal

Selling for cash

Drag what you want to sell from Your Bag onto You Give.
Click Balance it. The trader puts the matching cash in You Get.
Check that the deal says Fair.
Click Trade.

Your goods are gone and the cash is in your inventory.

Reading the deal

Asking $15 for $5 of tin cans. **Trade** stays locked.

The bar in the middle shows what the trader thinks. Below it you can see exactly how far off you are: Over by, Short by or Even.

The deal says	What it means	Can you trade?
Waiting	Nothing on the table yet.	No
Interested	You are offering something but not asking for anything yet.	Yes
Insulted	You are offering far too little.	No
Not quite	You are nearly there, just a little short.	No
Fair	The deal is even, or slightly in the trader's favour.	Yes
Delighted	You are giving a lot more than you get.	Yes

Balance it

Balance it does the sums for you, in either direction:

You are giving more than you get: the trader adds cash to You Get, up to the value of what you gave.
You are asking for more than you give: the trader adds goods from your bag to You Give until the deal is covered.

Tips

Anything you give above what you get is a tip, and you don't get it back. If a deal has a tip in it, the game asks before it goes through. This happens when the trader has no small change left, or when you click Trade with nothing in You Get.

Stock and refills

Each trader has $3,000 in cash for you: 100 Money ($1), 9 Money Bundles ($100) and 2 Money Piles ($1,000).
Their cash refills every 6 real hours, back up to $3,000. Cash you didn't take does not add up.
Your stock is your own. Other players' deals don't touch what a trader has for you, and yours don't touch theirs.
What you sell stays in His Stock, so you can get it back at the same price. Traders don't take cash, so you pay for it with goods they buy.
An item you can't get right now shows as Sold out.

Good to know

Traders pay in cash but don't accept cash.
Items inside a bag only count if you are wearing or holding that bag.
You can't sell anything you are wearing or holding, or anything marked as favourite.
One deal can hold up to 100 of one item and 12 different items in You Get.
You can make up to 6 deals a minute.

What the trader tells you

They say	What it means
No use to me, friend.	They don't buy that item.
You're wearing that. Take it off first.	The item is worn, held or marked as favourite.
Nice try. Mine stays on my side of the table.	You tried to drag their stock onto your side.
You haven't got enough I want to cover that.	Balance it can't find enough in your bag to pay for what you asked for.
I've no change for that. Call the rest a tip.	They have no cash small enough to match what is left.
That's all I've got of those.	They have no more of that item.
That's as much as I can hand over in one go.	You reached the limit for one deal.
Easy, friend. Give me a minute to count all this.	Too many deals in a minute. Wait a moment.
