Default Buying and selling between farmers

You can sell Primary products and Super Facility products to players.

To be able to Trade you need to have earned the Influential Neighbour Trophy. To get that you need to have 8 Neighbours.

If you do not know what a Super Facility is click on My Super Facility. You will need to start making the products in your Super Facility in order to be able to sell them in the Super Facility Products Category.



This post explains how to sell to a farmer you meet on line when you click on their avatar and select "Sell Products to xxx":

The Buyer and Seller do not need to be friends, neighbours or buddies and all transactions can take place anywhere within Farm Town. You must be online to do this. There is no limit to the amount of Primary products you can sell. You can sell several of the same or different Primary products to the same farmer as long as they are still able to buy. Primary products are:
  • crops
  • fruit or nuts from trees
  • logs or branches
  • flowers
  • hen and goose eggs
  • cow and goat milk
  • horse hair
  • any chopped tree logs or branches
  • sheep and llama wool
  • rabbit fleece
  • turkey and peacock feathers
  • fish from waters

You can also sell Primary and Super Facility products to Neighbours via the "Sell Products to xxx" option in the Neighbours bar at the bottom of the game screen OR by meeting meeting on a farm or at market and clicking on their avatar and selecting the "Sell Products to xxx". You both must be online to online do this. You may only sell ONE Super Facility product to each farmer ONCE per day.

Online Neighbours have a green dot on their picture. To see all online neighbours together you can order the neighbours bar. Click on any picture in the bar and then click on "Order by Online Status". All your Neighbours that are online will show with a green dot on their own picture in the Neighbours bar. The arrows to the left of the Neighbours bar will let you scroll the bar to view more neighbours. When you find their picture in the Neighbours bar, click on it and choose "Sell Products to xxx".
You can also Refresh the Online Status. Click on any picture in the Neighbours bar and choose "Refresh Online Status".

To sell Super Facility products to farmers you don't know you must go to the Trade Marketplace.

There is no limit to the amount of super facility products you can sell. You can ONLY sell ONE Super Facility product to each farmer ONCE per day.

There is also the Trading Warehouse where you can sell and buy both Primary and Super Facility products from anyone. This method will be explained later in this Chapter.


To initiate a transaction: Click on an avatar OR use the same option in the Neighbour bar and select "Sell Products to xxx"
The Seller now has a few selling options to complete the sale offer.
There is a little drop down arrow to the right of each section which allows you to change the options for selling.

Category: choose whether you would like to sell
  • Crops
  • Logs
  • Tree Fruits
  • Flowers
  • Fish
  • Animal Products
  • Super Facility Products
Product: choose the specific item you would like to sell.
Quantity: choose how much of the chosen product you would like to sell.
When selling Super Facility Products this will always be all your stock, you can not change this.
Mark Up : choose your asking price for your product
Mark Up options:
  • 10% below market price: if the Seller wants to give the Buyer a discount at his own expense.
  • At market price: this will be the same as selling the products at the market.
  • 10% to 50% above market price: in this case the seller is making a profit.
    When selling products from a Super Facility you have more market price options, to sell for Free all the way up to 50% above market price.
The little notepad when you click on it allows you to send a message with your sale. When you receive a sale offer yourself, you will see the same notepad when you review the offer. This allows you to send a message back to them when you accept or reject the offer.



The Buyer will now receive a sale offer showing them what you are selling, for what price and if there is any Mark Up % above or below market price.
If the Buyer reviews the offer they will see a confirmation of what you are offering in a popup. They will also see how much they can buy in so many hours.
If they click the green check mark the offer will be finalized and the Seller will be given the option to make further offers to the buyer.
If the Buyer declines the offer, the Seller will be given the option to renegotiate the terms of that same offer.

The final price that the Seller and the Buyer see, when selling Primary products may be different. The Buyer is always paying the price for a medium box, even if the Seller is selling a combination of large and medium boxes. The difference will be compensated by the Mayor.

NOTE: Gift items from the gift page can not be sold to another farmer. If you wanted to sell blueberries and all you have in storage for example is Blueberries (Gift) then you can not sell those to another farmer. You can either use them in your own facilities or sell them to the mayor at market. Only the regular (medium) and large sizes can be sold to another farmer.

NOTE TO BUYERS: Every user can purchase up to 1500 Primary products from other users every 12 hours. Whereas the Seller has no limit in the amount he or she can sell.

If you have reached your limit for buying Primary Products and someone tries to sell them to you they will be shown something similar to this:
This limit ONLY applies to buying Primary Products. It does not apply to buying Super Facility products. The only limit you have for buying super facility products is you can only buy one product from each farmer once per day.

To check for yourself when you can next buy Primary Products. Go to your farm. Open the Yellow toolbox and click on the Show Times tool (looks like a clock). Then click on the Gamewide section and look at the top of the list. You will see Buy Products from Others. If there is a green check mark showing you can buy primary products. If there is a time showing, that is approximately how much time you have to wait until you can buy them again. This is an example of a time showing:
