How to play

Customers

Every day, some customers come to your shop. Some of them want to buy displayed items, others might want to sell you some.

Buying items

When customer is offering you things to sale, they show you what they have and how much they want for it. You can hover offered items to see item's condition (and therefore estimated price) to see if its worth it and accept or refuse the deal.

Any bought items will be placed in your storage room (more about it later).

Selling items

Customers that want to buy something will show you their item(s) of choice. They can only buy things that are displayed for sale, not those in the storage room. You can again choose if you will sell it to them or not.

Bargaining

If you want to earn a little bit more, you can try to bargain for the price. When you decide to do so, you will be presented with two choices updating the price and your goal is to choose the one that is better for you. If you choose correctly, price will be updated by that amount and new deal will be presented to you. You have 8 seconds for each bargaining.

But be careful: When you choose wrong option, the price is updated in favor of the customer and you lose some remaining time for bargaining.

Storage room

You can open storage room by clicking on the storage room doors behind you.

Here you can see all the items in your possession that are currently not displayed for sale.

When you hover over an item, you can see its condition and price. If you click on the item, buttons with some actions will be displayed. Some of them might be disabled based on the situation.

The actions are:

Dismantle - you can dismantle the item for some spare parts resulting in getting 1/3 of its current price back instantly. Usually it is not much worth it. Also - you can't dismantle items in good or perfect condition, because it would be sin.

Repair - improve condition of the item for some price (for the spare parts needed). But beware that sometimes you can make the condition even worse by trying to repair it. This chance might get better with some skills (more about skills later)

Put on sale / Move to storage - last action will move the item between storage room and display case for given item. Note that you can sell only items with good or perfect condition.

Display case storages

Items are divided to five categoris: Trinkets, Clothes, Electronics, Furniture and Books. Each category has its own display case. You can open its inventory by clicking on coresponding place in the shop or by changing the tab in already opened storage.

Rent

Every 7th day, you have to pay a rent. It is $100 weekly so make sure you have enough money, especially when the end of the week is close.

You can check how much you have in cash register by hovering it. You can also check when is the next payment by hovering the calendar.

Skills

Every week (after paying the rent) you will also learn a new skill that will help you somehow. You are presented with two skills and you can choose one of them.
