I had always wondered how farm friends did that until recently seen it mentioned in another thread. Can't remember who it was so thank you for that tip! I prefer selling to my farm neighbors than putting it in ad. For anyone that wants to know how it's done uncheck the green checkmark to make it disappear before putting it on sale
For trading, also remember to uncheck this green mark to ensure that the trade will be smooth. Otherwise your trade items will be put in the newspaper and probably your farm visitor's count will go up very quick in no time and same for your lost of the trade items :p
I wish the default was set to not advertise. I hate when I don't intend to advertise and forget to uncheck the box.
Good tips .

I like eit the way it is I sell stuff for maxed price someones gonna buy it sooner or later :)
One more disadvantage of it is it will slow you down filling up your store as you must always uncheck all the items one by one if you don't want to advertise them compare to a single click on any of your rss items if you want to advertise them all. (bcz advertising a single item is like advertising them all. Very few buyers buy only what you advertise on your shop. Or I think none.)
If by unchecking EVERY item (which Ive been doing), I put in my RSS, am I only allowing people on my 'friends' list to view my RSS, plus a few strays who have 'followed' me?Quote:

And...if I DO check 1 out of say 6 items as a DD ad, can that one ad then make the other items visible to strays? I ask because I've had strangers buy despite everything being unchecked. How so?
As I said, Ive just started doing this recently, but something feels wrong...
Im concerned I'm forcing my meagre list of friends to constantly buy my stuff (at full cost - oops, so sorry guys), so....perhaps I need to be more selective if only they can see and buy? But how to know what is and isn't required...same with prices?
Of course no-one has complained about the prices, items or frequency of purchase from me, but then again, they're all too polite Im positive!
Ive stopped selling until I can get an answer on this, so your replies would be greatly appreciated thanks!
Hi,
I hardly ever advertise anymore. I don't need to (and I already achieved Citizen Kane III a long time ago). The items I put in my shop are always bought within max an hour. Most items are bought by my neighbors and followers, but also by 'stangers'. I help a lot of ppl in the DD reviving their trees and filling their crates. Therefor I am on their last helpers tab and they can visit me and buy the goodies I put in my shop.Quote:

Lots of people who have a lot of friends put items in their shop without a single advert hoping to increase the chances their neigbours get the goodies. They buy items they want or need and if they dont want it they dont buy it. You are definately not forcing them to buy anything. Many neighbours will be happy to buy goodies in a friend's shop. If items sit in the shop for a while unsold you can still place an ad on one of the items.
Like Tikkeltjes already said if you advertise one item they can all see your entire shop and buy whatever you have in the RSS. I also do not need to advertise anything when I am selling as most of my stuff is sold within a half hour or hour unless it's something which is abailable in abundance.
Thanks for your prompt and thorough replies.
Yes I was stressing about it a bit, and feeling guilty about selling to friends at high prices. Didn't even realize I was.
Theres still so much to learn, and you're right...at my game-stage its all about money, money, money!
So its back to the DD for me! (Am 1/2 way to CK III)...this is one achievement I could get! LOL
I suppose unless I get a specific friend request, its all fair game right?
Thanks also for explaining the ins'n'outs of who can/cant see ads and why. Got a bit confused with all that....(obviously).
You've saved my bacon yet again! Such a fabulous forum. Have a good one ;)
