Default Selling from Storage or Gift Box

Selling from Storage or Gift Box:

When you want to sell your harvests/products/ gifts or items that are in your storage or gift box, you have to go to Market to sell them.



Click on the Map Icon and go to the Trade Marketplace (Sell and Buy). You can sell at the Job Marketplace (Work and Hire) but that one is intended mainly for those looking to hire others and those looking for work, so if you don't want to do those, it would be better to go to the sellers market so no-one tries to hire you.

You will then see a message from Tom. Click on "I want to sell my harvests or gifts" then in the second message click on "OK. Show me your prices". The second message is timed, if you do not click it your storage will open automatically.



If by mistake you clicked the wrong option or you decided to do something else in the market and then wanted to sell your goods you can simply click on Tom and then you will see the message above again.

This is what he looks like at the Marketplaces. To see the items he stands next to, you would need to have decorations, buildings and tools showing in your preferences. To see the brown ground cover for the Trade Marketplace, you also need to have ground covers showing in your preferences.

The picture on the left is the Trade Marketplace, the picture on the right is the Job Marketplace.



When your Storage opens, you will then see something like this, but it will be your products:



Top left of the window is the Total Value of what you have in storage according to which section and filter you are viewing.

There are 3 sections to choose from:
  • Storage - This is your Harvests and Products Storage, where harvests from working farms and products from facilities are.
  • Gifts - This is your Gift box. Any gifts you have accepted but not stored yet will show up here.
  • Items - This is where the items you stored from your farms are, like buildings , decorations etc.

Click on whichever section your item is in that you want to sell. When you have chosen the tab it will turn orange. The above picture shows it set to the Storage section and All filter is selected.


Selling from the Storage section:

The With Any Quantity filter allows you to filter your storage to any quantity or by quantities over 1 million or more:






Below that the All filter lets you filter your storage to:
  • All
  • Crops
  • From Trees
  • Logs
  • Tree Fruits
  • Flowers
  • Fish
  • Animal Products
  • From Facilities
  • Ingredients from Facilities
  • Non- Ingredients - these are anything not currently used to make a product or stock a service facility. Example: Crown of Thorns and Pink Tulips are flowers that may be used for decoration, as they can be harvested you can sell those harvests for profit.
  • Non-Ingredients (for me) - is anything that you can not use yet, as you don't own the facilities that use them. You might choose to sell all of them or part of them for profit.

    Click on this link if you need information on where From Facilities(Export) products are now stored:

The Search Icon will let you search your storage for a particular item. If you are not sure what category your item would be in make sure you have the drop down filter shown above, set to All.

To use it, click on the icon and a box will appear that you can type in. Start typing the name of the item you are looking for. As you type, anything in your storage meeting that criteria will come into view. The arrows let you scroll up and down through the options if there are many items that include the word you typed. The red X closes the search box.





The A-Z Filter will let you sort your Storage by
  • Alphabetically - listed A-Z
  • Stored Amount - least amount is shown first
  • Ingredient Importance - will show products from the more important to the less important based on all available facilities in the game, not only those that you own, so for example, if you do not own any of the restaurants the Flour will still appear high in the list.
  • Ingredient Importance (for me) - will take into account the facilities that you currently own, so in this case, if you do not own any of the restaurants, the Flour will appear lower in the list and you will see in the top of the list only the ingredients that are more important to the facilities that you already own.
  • Total Price - least amount in coin value to most.
  • Selected - items that have a check mark in the box for selling. New Non-ingredients will automatically have a check mark unless you remove it to prevent it being sold using "Sell Selected"
  • Producing Facility - only available when viewing From Facilities or Ingredients From Facilities. This filter groups all products by the facility that produced them, so for example all the Semi Trailer products will be together, all the Windmill products will be grouped together, all the Dairy Processing products will be grouped together.



Depending on the A-Z filter you chose, there are different selling options available. You may see Sell All or Sell Selected. Both are filters that you can change to sell in different ways.
Clicking on the little drop down arrow will show you the different filters, scroll down and click on the option you want to select it.

SELL SELECTED - IMPORTANT INFORMATION WHEN USING THE CHECK MARKS TO SELL SPECIFIC PRODUCTS:
Be careful when using the Check Marks and Sell Selected Option when you have more than one size of a particular product. Adding a check mark to any size product WILL ALSO add the check mark to ALL sizes of that product so that when you use Sell Selected it sells all of the different sizes on every product with a check mark not just the one you added the check mark to.
You can NOT use the check marks to sell only a specific size of any products when you have more than one size.

There are 3 different sizes. Small and Large are indicated in brackets. Regular size are not. When you have more than one size of any item they will not all show up next to each other depending on which ones you have, how many of them there are, how many different products you have and the different filters you use in storage. To find a specific product and all the sizes you may have you would need to use the search box to see a specific product and all the sizes together. How to use the Search box is shown further down this post.

In this example I have used the search box to find Mustard and Carbonated Water:

The picture below shows you the different sizes and what it looks like when a check mark is added or removed from either size of those products:



If you only wanted to sell some of a particular product not all of them do NOT add a check mark to the box and do NOT use Sell Selected. Find the product you want to sell or use the search box to find several and all sizes at once, THEN mouseover each product of and you will see blue buttons appear giving you more selling options so that you don't sell all of them.


Non Ingredients, Non Ingredients(for me) will allow you to Sell All, but other options will not. This is to prevent you accidentally selling everything that you may need for your facilities.

Once you have made your choices clicking the blue button will sell those items and your coins will be added to your total.



It is also possible to sell a limited amount of Primary products from your Harvests & Products section to another farmer. For full details on how to do that see Chapter 10 of the Game Guide Buying and selling between farmers.



Selling from the Gifts section (your Gift Box):
  • You can not sell half or a portion of any one item that is in your Gift Box. You can only sell All of an item. If you wish to sell a portion you would have to store it then find it in the Storage section and then sell it from there.
  • You can not sell what is showing in your Gift Box to another farmer.
  • You can not sell any ingredients sent to your gift box, those will not show up in your Gift box at market, they have to be stored from the Gift box when you are on your farm.

You only have a Search tool and A-Z filter.

To use the Search tool, click on it and a box will appear that you can type in. Start typing the name of the item you are looking for. As you type, anything in your Gift box meeting that criteria will come into view. The arrows let you scroll up and down through the options if there are many items that include the word you typed. The red X closes the search box.


The AZ lets you sort by
  • Alphabetically
  • Stored Amount
  • Total Price

All gifts that are the same are added up and combined in the same box.
This is an example of a few gifts in the gift box:



You get 400 freshwater bait per gift, the example shows 400 so that is 1 gift.
You get 1 Fuel Tank per gift, the example shows 2 Fuel Tank so that is 2 gifts.
There are also 1 gift each of hen eggs, lamb, rose sculpture and seawater bait.
You get 15 tomatoes per gift, the example shows 120 so that is 8 gifts of tomatoes.

As you can see gifts have very little value when selling, so it's best to use anything that can be used to make products in your facilities.



Selling from the Items section:

Top right of the window the drop down arrow next to All lets you filter your storage to many different categories. Use the scroll bar to the right to see all options. These are all the categories:



If you have more than one of the same item, when you hover over the box of that item you will also have an option to sell Half. Example:



The A-Z filter lets you sort by
  • Alphabetically
  • Stored Amount
  • Total Price
