How about adding a search option for the global trade that way everyone could find exactly what they are looking for
I've been saying this for a long time. A dropdown list with the item we're looking for instead of a bunch of remote buttons and donuts would be great. We may still end up with locations that the item isn't available, but we would have a better chance this way.

If we can't do a drop down list for the specific item, could we at least do a category search based on the item type or building that is used to create it (for crafted items)?
- Omg! Yes! I would love a search box! Because sometimes its so hard to find what I want! 🙂
- I Agree that would be a great idea
- Coool
- Great idea! Can't wait
Agreed. It is almost impossible to buy security bar, and blades in later lvls.
Add in all the other failed transactions, or item already bought. Makes the game frustrating. Even narrowing it down a bit ( maybe by lvl ) would be nice.
Add in the ability to message friends in game.2 weeks since EA made the Trade HQ worse and still no fix. I have not even heard EA admit there is an issue.
I have very fast devices and several internet connection types that are the fastest possible, and most valued items are still gone before I can purchase them. Even common items are gone. Do you have to be right on a backbone to be fast enough? Or in the right city?
The user story is easy guys: As a player, if I see an item listed and click on it in a reasonable amount of time, I should be able to purchase that item at least 90% of the time, so that I reduce the amount of time spent trying to purchase a sought after item, and ensuring that the game is less frustrating.
You can make assumptions that players have a typical internet connection, and common devices.
I will say this, though. Anything I try to sell seems to be much more successful than previous versions. So, the acceptance criteria has to keep in mind to minimize the impact of our items selling ability. For me, EA got the selling part right.
Filtering the list is a new feature and should be a lower priority to fixing it. You should not add features until you fix the issues.
Frustrating!
i agree we need some kind of search button most of my time is spent searching for items and when i finally find someone selling it once i click its states nothing for sale its getting so frustrating i love the game but this is my major issue and ive only 5 neighbours who never sell nothing
SimCity Trade Zone is growing daily. We are now not far from our first milestone - 1000 members. Join us on Facebook today for organized trading of items and materials. 🙂
YES ! EXACTLY !
No one cares WHO is selling what, we only care about buying what we need.
As there are a variety of ways to organize the search criteria, and I'm assuming the current flow of an unnecessary 2nd page is there for a reason. So one possible search screen might be based on how the desired item is produced: in a factory, in hardware store, in ...
The ideal of a searchable global trade is what i would like to address myself if you were to implement a search function you would only need to have it broken down by categories one for each of the production buildings as well as one for each of the 2 expansion types mountain and beach and a final one for Vu Tower supplies, these additions would make it so much easier to conduct profitable and fun transaction with other mayors around the globe.
