They weren't being "greedy" by buying all my screws and planks because they needed them just as I needed the bolts and wood panels. Quid pro quo.
Moreover, I accepted the following: When I sell something in my shop, I relinquish ownership immediately and don't have any control on who will buy them. It may be the intended buyer or one of my followers who has the good timing to wander by at the exact moment while I was unloading the rare items. This acceptance has made the game less stressful and more fun for me.
If SC implemented a 1sec delay before you can buy the next item in a shop, it would stop bot stealing and give everyone a chance to grab a decent purchase, especially if there are a lot of goodies available in the shop. It will prob never happen so in the meantime it basically jump in quick before everyone else.
Depends what you consider "greed".
What do you mean by greedy? If I open up a shop and all the items are things I need, then I will buy them... isn't that why they have been put up for sale?
Same. I try to leave some things for other players (especially if it's a friend's or neighbour's shop), but if I actually need it, I will buy. Unless it's a premium item for one coin, THEN I will assume trade or otherwise not meant for me.Quote:

So I do try to pay attention a little bit, but I am not going to stick to anyone's strict expectations, unless I actually KNOW said strict expectations. I'm just not going to assume everyone has them.
Sorry not sorry.
If people are "greedy" and "like vultures" you must be selling the good stuff. :D
If it’s in DD I consider it all fair game.
If it’s in our hood, we frown upon one person clearing the whole shop. Sales there are put up for the benefit of the whole hood, part of the general encouragement of unselfish play.
It's just a game, plus they are items I need.
If this makes you mad, maybe you shouldnt be playing :p
