In the last day, I noticed that some things I'd left in my store were finally purchased by Daniel. I'm not sure how long they sat there for sale -- I think 48 hours each -- but it seems that after a very long time limit, they do get automatically sold, for my full asking price.
It's nice know I won't lose the value of items I put in my store if I leave them long enough, but it's difficult having so little turnover in the shop because of that long window between when advertisements seem to stop working and when Daniel rescues me.
- People there is nothing wrong with selling items. It's called supply and demand. Think about it this way, would you go and buy a bunch of items from the marketplace you can make yourself? After about 24-48 hours your neibour Daniel will purchase your items to clear them out, and you get exactly what you wanted.
Supply and demand. The only problem is you. Learn what to sell, learn what to buy. Diablo, you are wrong. I suggest you read all the other comments in this thread before posting again. It's nothing to do with supply and demand. Even items that are harder to come by e.g. bulldozer parts sometimes do not sell, even very cheaply. Then they are stuck in your shop for 2-3 days, using up your slot. Even if your friends go to visit your shop, it looks empty, so they can't buy it. IT IS BROKEN.
- DiabloHell, you didn't see the point, and maybe the EA thought the same as you did. Even if I put something on sale for just 1$, the item get sold in 1 minute or never. The system goes wrong, and till now I can't see any item in the trade depot of my friends whereas it is not empty in fact, and nor can they see in mine. The point is, sometimes the thing you advertised for does not show on the market at all, and sometimes things you put in the trade depot only show and save in you local data, not online. The system does not refresh the items in trade depot any more once you put them on sale. I think it is something to do with the network connection and data updating. If you fail to get access to the server the moment you sale, the items will never get showed to others again.
- Why isn't there an option to view seller products on 'global trade' based on a search? This way we can narrow our search to listings we desire and make the marketplace more competitive.... Or better yet why can't we bid on certain items with say a 2 minute time frame? Could you imagine the frenzy if all of a sudden everyone needed 'minerals' or 'hammers'. This could be a game within a game and settle the hundreds of complaints posted on this topic.
And has anyone seen the cost of upgrades for parks or services that unlock after higher levels?
Im on level 24 now and it seems that the more ambitious i get with city upgrades the higher the 'sim-cash' requirements are.
600 SC for a basketball court??! What the hell?
