What is the secret?!

This question goes out to all of you who are able to sell 5 bins of 10 stakes each, or 5 bins of 10 berry cakes each, and so on and so forth- HOW in the world do you do it?? I'm genuinely curious as I would LOVE to be able to amass such an impressive quantity of things to sell :D I mean, even if I kept my cake machine on literally 24 hours a day it would take me quite a while to acquire 50 berry cakes, and not only that but I've noticed some people who sell that amount more than once a day. So please, impart unto me your Hay Day wisdom/technique :cool: Any advice/info is appreciated! :o

if you are very active on your farm... like literally almost live in it, you get those expansion items pouring out from your farm whether you want it or not. I personally have reached a point where i would like my farm to stop giving me silo and land items...

when you have expanded your barn enough and the slots on your machine, you can queue alot at one go. you can also use tom to buy bulk, or if you really like berry cakes that much for example, you can just go to the DD and buy what people are selling then put on your own stand to sell to make it seems like you have an ungodly amount.

but mostly, just keep machine going non stop, and it will actually add up fast. thats how people do it, they also do rotation of items. make alot of 1 single item at one go, then when busy selling that item, the machine are busy making another type in bulk. that way you can sell alot.

It's an interesting question. I myself would love to know how one of my neighbors can sell 10's of every kind of tool, premium item, and animal products repeatedly through the day. He has dozens of bins and they're almost always full with hundreds of items. He must have followers that hover over his bins nonstop because in the 3 weeks since he friended me (though I don't know why because my store pales in comparison to his), I've only once managed to actually see available items in his store, and I watched and waited, and as soon as he'd add something (in multiple numbers), the bins would go gray. All sorts of wonderful things I'd love to have, land deeds, bolts, nails, the things that are difficult for me to find at times. Jewelry like crazy. Everything, it seems. He sold over 200 bacons yesterday and was at it again today. That's the kind of store stocking that seems unbelievable. I just wish I knew when he was going to stock it because I never see anything available in there. I don't get frustrated because it really seems to be just too good to be true.

It also seems to me that my farm gives me a lot of things I DON'T need. When I was expanding land and fishing, I could not get a deed to save my life. Now that I don't need them, they fly out of my crops and animals. Same with silo BEMS.

YES, this happens to me all the time. I seem to suddenly start harvesting items I've just purchased a ton of, meaning that since I just bought a bunch of whatever it is that I needed I don't need it anymore! But alas, I suddenly begin to harvest said item. EXCEPT for land deeds. I could purchase 10 land deeds and would still hardly ever harvest them. I hope the game gods know that I'm onto them.....

Thank you mzmflo, a lot of this certainly make sense, especially the part about just going to the DD and buying items just to put right back into your own store, which seems to be the only plausible explanation for being able to sell 50 berry cakes all at one time, two or three times a day....

This might just be me, but I only make berry cakes if my boat asks for them. I sure do wish I would see other types of cakes in the DD besides the oh-so-common berry cake :(

I "peeked" into the forum three weeks ago and now I have two obsessions. :rolleyes: I've read a lot of the threads and one thing that keeps getting referenced is additional farms on other iOS devices. I only have an iPad, my phone and computer are not Apple, so I can't open additional Hay Day accounts. This is one of the ways I think some of these players are getting so much product. I wish I could, there are so many ways to set up a farm.

thanks for all the great info. I've learned so much from you all. :cool:

I'm not at the level of have large numbers of multiples of complex items, but I now keep most of my machines running most of the day, if not all day. I end up with large numbers of animal feed while I feel like I sell all day long.

i plan long runs of my machines over night when I am sleeping - that's when I make syrup, cheese and feta cheese. Then during the day while at work I will set up another long run of items while I am at work. I do the short run items in th evening when I am home. Works well for me.

if you want to know how people get the expansion items read the "wheating" section in the guide book that is stuck up at the top of this forum. I see people with huge wheat fields, so they must get multiple expansion items per harvest. I'm not there yet . And then there is the question of what to do with all the wheat?

Maybe those people are just absurdly wealthy and they buy diamonds to speed everything up? Or they are the front person for a consortium? Or its a person with 10 iPads and 10 appleIDs who uses 9 of them as feeder farms? I don't know, I m just speculating.

I've only just discovered wheating (and "corning") and have to admit my tools have multiplied quite quickly. I sell the wheat and corn at default prices to get rid of it. It's quite satisfying, I have to say.
