Market Bargains

3932 apples @ 20.00 each. Next listing was 49.00

 

23 Panda feed @ 389.Next offer is 1080
Got 100 Sage @50.Next offer is 185.55

 

Guava Jam listed at 999 cc's (next listing 2100 cc's) bought 100 so I should be set for a little while

 

About 10 Chameleons (individually offered!) at 230 CCs - that had to be a mistake. Feel sorry for the seller. Quite a few goats (maybe 20) at less than 500 CCs. Know most people don't regard some animals that important - until they are called for in an event. I just love to scoop them up!

 

Found all those Valentines pots won in the event being sold in the market this morning bought up 25 of them below 4000 cc's

 

Found 2 ZAB's at 28,000 cc's each Items already sold

 

I got 9 valentine's pot's for 2400cc each and 4 more PPP's for 7200cc each. Love it when farmers dump crafting goodies for almost nothing.

 

Anyone heard anything about squirrels? They're 8600 and up on my market, for no reason I can find, unless I missed something. All the rodents seem to be rising in prices recently.

 

spots - squirrels are hovering around 3500 in my market....with 166 offers. Of course, cows and ducks are becoming scarce with the neon event around the corner...only 10 offers a piece for them. The only weird ones are Eagles & Foxes, down to 20 offers a piece....with much higher prices.

 

I visited here yesterday and thought: Will you just look at these Market Vultures in action...look at them!

Learning from how you Vultures fly I just found:

3 offers of 1 CAC @ 3,700

I guess its junk CAC to someone else too

 

Got a lovely bargain on1400 tulips at 54 cc each - spring must be around the corner!

 

Congratulations Willow. That number of tulips at that price is explainable. And yes it is a bargain price.

That offer is available just about every single day here and on at least one other market I review and I buy it regularly. If I can, I work arrangements with other farmers to produce animals and crops for me. But I find no need to even try with tulips because the offer comes so frequently anyway.

With several farms I can scan the market super quickly. AND I have found this offer at near the price you quote too too too many times for it to not be a purposeful transaction.

I have no doubt that there is a group of farmers who produce tulips habitually almost daily. They certainly have a goal with ccs they are trying to reach with the continuous production and selling of tulips at that price.

Maybe this is one individual with a couple of farms doing this and the harvesting fits into their RL schedule.

One of the tricks played by farmers is to buy the few offers above the set price and then list in order that their listing appears to be between 20 - 30% less than the next offer. The individual(s) know to do this.

Since that offer appears so so so many times, the only issue I have is finding something to do with them.

----- edit, moments after posting -------

Just bought tulips:

1 lot 1,428 @ 54 <------- again

Next price 500 @ 100 ccs (explained the deletion method and pattern above)

And tomorrow the same. Same price as yours. Quantity is 28 difference. Coincidence?

And this buying can get ridiculous. At one time I had over 800,000 tulips!

Grow ..... hahaha .... fooooooooooooooooooor what?

 

Dear Broke - love your observations. I have noticed the tulips (and a few other items at odd prices) appearing off and on. Don't always buy, but occasionally I put something away for a rainy day. Thanks for mentioning that buying/selling maneuver, very good to know. I've noticed some market maneuvers; but don't buy unless it's is a good bargain for me.

Speaking of bargains - got a nice deal on monkeys (3 lots of five @ 800) and one lot of 50 mango at 49 cc and a lovely husky at 49,000 cc! Good shopping day for me!

By the way, as to having lots of tulips - we know BP comes up with new things all the time! Just think how nice it will be if there is a new requirement for tulips someday!

 

Willow - Wow...yes..good buy on the tulips!!! Congrats!
Broke - Your swift mind always amazes me...and your market lurking is to be, as always, is incredible. No growing "junks" for you!
My deal of the day today.....a Fire donkey at 350,000.00...the next one is listed for 3,337,511.00....so I saved 2,987,511.00!!!! I couldn't believe my eyes...so I swooped & scooped! Unfortunately, I believe the farmer who listed it forgot a zero. Just some trivia info...on market 10 there is a Golden Donkey for sale @ 32 million cc's.
Does anyone else think the breeding market is insane????

 

Brooke, there is a beautiful bee on mine for 35 million....yep I think that's pretty insane.

 

I think the prices reflect how much harder it is to get higher level breeding animals. Just a thought.

 

Willow,

Tulips today .... again Details:

1 lot 1,428 @ 54 <-------- <----------- Same as yesterday as day before that ....

Next listing 100 @ 114.51

One might wonder how I could ever hold over 800,000 tulips. Just buy this above listing everyday for 365 days and that is over 500,000 alone.

Should we figure out how many fields they are using, size and ......

Even threw some away to play with tulip refinements and so many I got them. But I'll never grow them.

Grow ..... hahaha .... fooooooooooooooooooor what?

I can't stand those tulips now. hahahahah

 

No tulips for me today Broke, but I did get 5 tortoise @ 4000 each!

 

And I bless their little tulip growing hearts, dear Broke - as well as the seller from whom I purchased 200 bananas at 40cc each and 200 mandarins at 20cc each! I like routine bargains, but those wonderful surprise bargains are such fun to swoop and scoop!

 

Some kind person sold lots of 20 animals for precisely 1/3 of current market price; I managed to scoop up 80-100/each wonder stable and basic animals. I can't believe this was a mistake, so tytyty to that kind farmer! !
