Newspaper buying etiquette

Just a kind reminder that when you see an advertising for an item in the newspaper and go to buy it, if you see the same item also being sold for the same price, please buy the one not advertised in the paper, this will keep the newspaper spot open for that player so their other items (if any others) can be advertised as well when players see the advertisement in the paper.

:)

Id be glad to, but how would you tell which one is the advertised item, if there are several of them?

And all at the same price.

Another rule to keep in mind. I tend to break rules but that's just me.

More etiquette rules! Hard one to follow. I bet most of us purchase very quickly from the paper. I don't have time to pick one item over another. Its first come, first served so you have to move fast.

For me, I can't help it but just buy them all. I honestly don't consider following this etiquette because for one, I may need them all and save it for my boat. So if I see someone selling the same thing at the same price, I will just buy them all regardless.

There is no way of knowing which item is the advertised one, if they are the same item for the same price.

Ooo so the little newspaper icon doesn't show on the advertised item?

Also, buying all the same items would be okay.

No only the seller sees the newspaper icon. Buyers don't see that so there's no way of knowing.

I would love if this was doable, as I often employ sticking the ad on a not so popular item, but it's impossible to follow. When I go into the newspaper I don't even think about buying stuff. I spot pictures and clickety click as fast as I can because there's dozens of others seeing the exact same ad, and half the time I miss it the item, because someone else has beaten me to it a splitsecond before my touchety touch.

There is no indicator which is the newspaper item, and I don't even care about price. :/

Sorry.

No more etiquette or rules, I refuse! Don't advertise if you don't want people to buy your stuff.

sorry-but the list of "unwritten rules" is too long and they all cancel each other out, so we threw them out, so this one can't even be added to the mock list.
