Still very new to the ins and outs of advertising.

Just "uncheck" where the green checkmark is. Has to be done for each item you list or it will create and advertisement.

When you fill each slot in your shop, underneath the place where you select how much of your item to sell and for how much, there is an advertisement button 'for 3 hours' with a green tick on it. If you press that BEFORE you put it on to sell, the tick disappears and that item will not be advertised, but will be for sale in your shop. You need to do it for each and every item that you sell, but then only friends, followers and people you have helped recently are likely to visit:)

Select the item you want to sell. Under the crate it says advertise with a big green check. Tap the check mark and it will remove the advertisement. Hope I helped some. Add me if you want!

FABULOUS!!! Thanks so much, Amina! I always like to put the really good stuff up first and let my wonderful neighbors have first dibs since I go check their shops first for something I need as well! Thank you thank you thank you!

Sending the request now!

Thanks all for answering the ad question. I'm thrilled to be able to do this. :)

But I used to grow lots of veg overnight and fill the whole bottom row of my shop with veg at very cheap prices. I don't do it much any more because the same person used to buy the whole lot. (Uncannily within about five minutes). Now all my lovely friends can stop worrying because the culprit is not a forum user. Please come and buy anything you like, as long as it's not enough tomatoes to sink the boat!

I have to say, you are one of the kindest people I've met on here, your humor is delightful and you are always there to help... Those are some amazing qualities and I am so happy to have met you :o

Do you mean for real cash money? How long have you been playing? Are you disenchanted with the game? There are loads of really helpful players on the forum who can offer advice on how to enjoy your game. If you don't want to continue playing then you can't get "real" money for your farm but you can help a lower level player by selling them all your goods for one coin. Pay it forward.

I haven't tried that but I do sometimes do RSS Themes. lol. So I may do my entire RSS with just milk & cookies or popcorn of all varieties or 10 on top and 5 on bottom or cakes or pies or wheat and corn or sweets. There are times I will just sell expansion material too.Depends on what I have a lot of in my barn. I love that Haystacker always has beans and sugarcane. I know just where to go when I run out and am never afraid to use my last sugarcane or soybean either. I also love the fact that flijo and boroyob always have a lot of pumpkin and carrot pies and blue hats and white shirts and other stuff. I know exactly where to go when I need them to fill boats and truck orders. :)

I find these amusing as well :p One neighbour of mine has his/her name as something to the effect of "Follow me I sell only good stuff". Whenever I go to his/her stall the only thing there is wheat...or eggs. At max price. Lol.

I think this is so true. I went through a phase of loving when everything was sold then hating when one player consistently bought everything in my stall every time i put it up then not caring who bought whatever I put up in my stall or what they did with them. I sell almost everything at max price anyway so why should I care? lol.

Wow, I'm surprised this thread is still open. Thanks mods for not closing it :)

It's interesting to know where people stand on this issue.

To my friends: Raid me all u want, I'd be offended if u didn't :D

I agree with all of your comments Haystacker :) I think all of the comments on here have been pretty nice and people just sharing how they feel, which I find very interesting... Not all of us think the same way and I appreciate that :D

Thank you to all the mods for allowing us to keep this thread open, people have valid reasons and we don't always know what people are thinking on the other side of the monitor :rolleyes:

I was going to send you a friend request haystacker, I like the way you think, but then I read your signiture :p
