We often need to trade tools and other rare items with our friends, but the only way to do this is to sell them at our roadside stands where strangers can snap them up within seconds.
The "wheat up" procedure is how we do these transfers to make sure the item goes to the right person. It's not absolutely guaranteed, but it works most of the time.
Begin Trading:
•Request and arrange trades using the Trade, Transfer, and Help requests thread and Team Bolt and Team Screw (if you are participating in those teams).
•You can also use private messages (PMs) to finalize arrangements.
•We normally charge full price for items, although you're free to charge less if you want.
•Trades are the norm, but you can also arrange a one-way transfer if the seller doesn't need anything in return.
•Both parties should leave the shop window open during the transaction. It refreshes in real time, so you don't need to close and reopen to see the new item placed or purchased.
How to do it:
•The traders make arrangements for what to trade and when, including who sells first.
•The seller "wheats up" - puts a single wheat for sale in the farthest right slot for one coin.
•The buyer should watch the seller's shop. When they see the wheat up, they immediately buy it.
•The seller sees the intended buyer get the wheat, then collects payment for the wheat and immediately puts up the item being traded in the same slot.
•The buyer sees the item and immediately buys it.
•Repeat at the other person's store to complete the trade.
•If selling multiple items, it can be helpful to wheat up at the end so the buyer knows they have everything.
Caution!
•Do not advertise! To avoid having strangers around to swipe the good stuff (Snaked), uncheck the advertisement for both the wheat and the item being traded. Also make sure you don't have an active advertisement on any other items in your stand.
•If an item gets snaked then STOP trading and come back to the forum to make new arrangements.
Happy Trading!
