Were they actually available, or were they grayed out?
Janilee,
They were all grey. What do you think the deal is?
These players probably wants as many people as possible to follow them.
Check out this resent thread about it:

They're keeping "ghost products" around by not collecting the money after they're sold. To get people to follow them. People see the grayed-out items and think they sell them all the time, but they don't.Quote:

There have been several threads about it, including the one Patsgirldk linked.
Yes, dito to what everyone else said The tools probably never went to a random user, but to a neighbor or to their secondary farm or something. Shrug
Very glad you asked the Q and received answers. I've been puzzled and a bit upset because I haven't been able to obtain planks for many days and I don't like the Trade idea. Seems unfair to most of us who play HD for fun.Quote:

Ok right up front, powdermonkey, I'm showin' my a** - how do I PM you pls? I've used PM on FB but would prefer not to use FB for HD. Is there a way to PM you here? I'd be happy to send you a friend request through GC if you give me your ID there. Apologies for being so 'duh'. :oQuote:

I had no underlying or sinister reason to leave them grey other than not having time to play.Quote:

After collecting, I usually leave the shop completely empty for a while so if anyone does pass by, they might know I'm about to put new stock up (since my shop is usually grayed out the rest of the day). I also try to change where I put the new items up (different from their old position) so neighbours know that I'm selling everyday rather than keeping the same grayed out items.

If you have someone who is a friend and you visit their farm, you will be able to tell if they are ghosting material on purpose or just left it up there until the next time they sell things in their RSS.Quote:

Hundreds and hundreds of items.
I followed them, and since then, the ghost products have remained at the right end of their stand, while they sell things like bread, berries, and popcorn from the left most bins.
Been there, done that Janilee. I found a store like that and started following him/her, but after 2 months with the same things in the last bins, I said buh-bye. It's not like people can't tell what they're doing...:(Quote:
