A Few More ?s re Sell Sell Sell!!

Hey! Thank you to everyone who responded to my "pep talk needed" thread and for all the great advice. I finally took it and have begun just making products and selling them. Now I'm just going through the DD for EMs, a crop that I'm out of here and there, and to see if anyone needs help. I also look at what it is people are buying and needing, and what they're not. And I love it! The pressure is off!
BUT somehow I still am not making any money. :( I think I'm getting in trouble with the expansion materials. But gosh you need so much of them and they're so expensive!
So Questions:
1). What in the world else should I alter about what I'm doing (besides, of course, buying EMs)?? I need major help in this department! Please!!
2). To all of you who do a lot of selling, and to those who go by the "sell everything you make" creed, I'm wondering-- Do you ever complete truck orders at all?? I do not have a river boat- don't want one, so I don't need to worry about that.
3). If you're only selling your stuff, never completing any orders, what eventually are your goals (once the money goal is taken care of)??

Look in the DD for bargains. Buy and resell at top dollar.

I don't know if it's just me, but if I have an excess of certain expansion material it will keep giving me more of those. So for example If I have too many planks I sell them and then I get more varied materials. (And gain lots of money by selling the others)

I only sold products in my rss in the very early levels as I have always been more about xp than coins. I have always been picky about the truck orders I would fill. If the xp value is not more than double the coin value, truck orders are scrapped. If you are after coins, you should probably do the opposite, taking only orders with high coin values.

Since I have been a wheater since the start, I have always made lots of coins selling surplus drop items. I only started buying EMs once I had lots of coins. If you sell off excess EMs you don't need to expand your barn so quickly as you will be freeing up barn space by not hoarding them.

I know you don't need to be a wheater to make lots of coins, but I have several million coins so I do know that it works for me.

The only truck orders I fill are during the truck event (if it's a global event) or if it's a jewelry truck. The only boats I fill are during a boat event (if it's double voucher event)

and I rarely touch my townies.

I constantly wheat and sell the wheat to the little people when they walk up because they pay 2700 per 1000 wheat and only give 5 xp per visit. otherwhise I sell in the RSS at max price everything else. most of my EM come from my wheating and I trade everything else I get from wheating for more EM. very rarely do I find EM in the paper...but when I do I buy it on sight so can't blame ya for that one.

Are you purchasing most of the crops/ingredients/raw materials needed to make those products? Or are you growing/collecting all the stuff that goes into those products yourself on your own farm?

If you're still purchasing the basic stuff and then recombining it into more complex "products" which you then sell, you're going to make a fraction of the profit you'd earn if you make/grow everything from scratch. It's almost not worth the effort.

I didn't read your other thread, and surely someone suggested this already: but spend some time wheating... sell the wheat cheap to push it out of your silo. Your goal is to keep whatever's in your RSS occupying a stall for as short a time as possible. Something sits in your RSS too long? Those are seconds, minutes you could be selling something else and making more coin.

Use some of the wheat up making bread and animal feed which you then sell at maximum price. Any expansion materials that you get that you already have in excess, sell at max price. In an hour, you'll make so much more coin doing this than waiting for a few sweaters to half-finish on the loom.

There isn't much that you can do at your stage to increase the inflow of coins... Instead, you need to think about how you can slow down the outflow. You are only hurting for coin because you are spending too much, too fast (don't worry, pretty much all of us went thru that stage!) Ask yourself what you can control to slow down your expenses.

Because most major expenses are based on your level, you need to find a way to slow down the rate at which you are leveling up. By selling in the RSS you are able to sell without bringing in more XP. Until I had my expenses under control, I personally (others may differ) avoided the board altogether. Does this strategy bring in a lot more coin? Probably not. But it means you are delaying your next major purchase and thereby, eventually allowing yourself to accumulate more coin.

Would you notice a lot more coin rolling in? It seems you've already found the answer to that, but, hopefully you will be in a better position when the 'next' machine is available... And an even better position when the machine after that is available, etc etc etc

Hopefully this helps you understand why I answer the way I do, but, long story shortened, at level 34 (or so), and under financial pressures, I would not be using the task board.

Yes to what Dairy Air said! Definitely do not try to level up too fast. Hay Day is the ultimate play at your own pace game! ;)

I know others here and in other threads endorse not leveling up quickly but it's not how I play. Right from the beginning I played to level as quickly as I could because my goal was to catch up to my sister who introduced me to the game and started months before I did. I am now one level behind her. If you have lots of spare time to spend on the game, leveling quickly is not a problem. I never had to wait long to buy machines as they became available. Of course it's probably wise for those who can't devote lots of time to the game to go slowly.

I also levelled up as quickly as i could. Only filled trucks and later boats. Rarely in rss unless expansion items. Find whatever works for you. That is the beauty of this game.

I agree with the others. Don't level up too fast. Only advance to the next level when you can afford to buy the machine or have enough expansion material to make all expansions in Town. Until then, RSS what you produce.

I enjoy doing truck orders now but I have all the machines and a big barn.
In the beginning I just found them frustrating!

I used to be a sell sell sell farmer.
Mostly my focus was on expanding...not money. So any EMs I got were pretty much from drops. Except for the rare occasion when I came across some duct tape or wood panels.
Never cared much for shopping. So I wasn't spending a lot of time going through the DD.

There was always something I could put in the machines.
And on the rare occasion that I ran out of, say pumpkins I would buy a few and grow them over and over to make that money back.
It might sound a little weird but I would make a list and keep track of how many pumpkins I had grown from those first 20 that I bought.
Now im more relaxed about it because I need every crop.

One thing i have have noticed about doing a lot of trucks is that it really depletes your stock of premium items.
Have been helping my sister level up to 57 this weekend and even with both of our farms filling as many of her trucks as possible my barn is almost empty of premium ingredients like cheese and honey and pies, lobster stuff etc.
And trucks are more about XP than money. So not a way to get rich!

Every time I read all your replies I get re-pumped back up. Thank you all so much! I don't know why I let myself get so discouraged! I even complained to my husband when he got home this evening that I'm so discouraged I can't make any money and that I'm Just able to Sustain my current coins!

PATIENCE is a HUGE difficulty with me. I think I'm expecting too much too quickly, AS WELL AS still getting the hang of what to do for what I need, which is right now, yes Coins. But I'm just about to cross the threshold to go over to level 36 and I'm already stressing myself out to watch my coins because I'm thinking "I have to have that 68,000 in coins for the Jeweler" which isn't until level 38--two whole level yet right?! Argh I make myself mad sometimes. :o

I sold some nails and planks today. Oh my gosh it was so painful! Don't any of you ever worry (or didn't any of you worry--past-tense) about what you're going to do when your silo or barn needs expanding Right Now and you don't have the materials?? That's my worry cause it takes more Forever to get those EMs!

I do make all my materials--crops, cheese, etc. Only go buy some tomatoes or cotton or whatever if I'm desperate. Then I sit and wait and sit and wait. Then I sell stuff. And I stay stationary with my coins (and xp of course). And then I'm frustrated and discouraged.

Like you, Farmerlzumi, I do have a lot a spare time to spend on the game, which is where the sitting and waiting and staying stationary probably isn't working too well with my frustration. I haven't ever tried wheating. You always see tons of crops in the DD. Does all that really sell?? I'm so nervous to try it. Just expecting to sell wheat and only wheat and tons of it? Why do people need all that wheat?? I don't get it!?!

Like I said I'm now going through the DD seeing what people are buying and what they're not and so then I want to go and produce those full products for them to buy. This, I'm beginning to wonder, is not the way to go- at least at almost level 36???? But then I get confused cause I try to take the advice to RSS what I produce. Produce as in ONLY the base products like wheat, corn, milk, etc?? Which way to go?! What do I do?! So hair-pulling!!

I know I'll get through this rut right?! And I'll eventually make money?? And it won't seem like I'm just sitting there waiting to things to finish producing and also waiting to get any XP??

And again, your guys' advice and tips and experience knowledge helps me with going on so much. I look forward to hearing more!! :) (P.S. I usually don't take this long to respond/reply to any thread-- just had an unexpected interruption!).

Update: I don't know what to do!!

If you have lots of time, then wheating is the way to go! I would go crazy waiting for longer crops since I am on all the time. Wheat moves just fine for me. I sell mine for one coin for ten. You might find there are slow times but it's not a problem since people come from all time zones. Be sure to hang onto as much wheat as you can hold because the little people are very generous where wheat is concerned.

I just started a feeder farm about a week ago and only wheat on it and it also has no problem selling wheat both in the rss and to the little people.

Good luck and happy farming :)

The easiest way to make money quickly is to buy 1 coin wheat from the DD and sell it to Tilly and the gang (farm visitors). The profit is extremely good, you don't clog up your RSS and you can grow other crops at the same time.

Another good source of income is animal feed - cheap to produce and easy to sell.

I have used both of these strategies to great effect for the past 2-1/2 years, so can attest that they work.

With regard to not wanting a river boat, I hardly ever ever do trucks, but do pretty much every boat that comes along. Boats are much easier than trucks as you have time to prepare the required products in advance and they have the added advantage of providing the vouchers that you need to buy pets.

As Glademaid suggested, buying cheap wheat is also a good tactic, although not one I have tried myself as I love watching the xp flying up as I harvest :p

Another thing about being a wheater is that you don't need to worry about followers raiding your shop. Since I sell only wheat and the occasional surplus em, there is not much to tempt stalkers. I have lots of followers and most of them buy huge quantities of wheat, some to resell at higher prices in their shops and some to do as Glademaid does.

Ok guys it has begun--I am going to experience with this wheating, at least at first just to see how it goes for a bit. Who knows I may become a lifer!

I just never imagined that there'd be enough demand for That incredibly much wheat?!! And what if you do have tons of 1-coin for 10xwheat sitting in your RSS and no one is buying? Make animal feed, then bread. But then what?? Do you ever have times when just no one needs any wheat??? I don't know what I'm going to do with all that stuff!!

And uh oh-- My platform just finished building. Haven't opened it yet but that's the next step. Or shouldn't I? I'm nervous! :o

As one of Izumi's friends and wheat buyers I agree. I very much enjoy purchasing 1000 wheat for 100 coins and then selling it for 2700 to the little visitor people. it's great for building up cash without building up XP.

I've been waiting for the little people-- one has came so far and he asked for carrots, not wheat! Dang it! Still not sure what to do with the excess -- especially if you only sell to the little people and they don't buy it all up>>?????

Just put up a picture of one of my kitties for an avatar. Sad--I don't even know what that is really! But anyway I realized I was being kind of unintentionally snobby so added my location too :cool:

I don't know if this will work for you, but I have found that the little people ask for wheat mostly just after starting the game. I make sure I have lots of wheat before closing off and they will often come or be waiting for wheat when I get back. I also find visiting other farms makes them come more often and ask for wheat.

Make sure you place an ad as soon as it becomes available and do it somewhere towards the end but not right at the end, so it will last a little longer. If you have plants that need to be revived that helps too. I hold off flagging my plants until I place an ad and only flag one at a time to ensure a steady stream of visitors.

Love your kitty - I have one of my own, a 9 month old tabby, who is the love of my life (don't tell my son ;) ).

FarmerIzumi: Mine are too! They're so sweet!!

Am confused-- towards the end of what? So it'll last a little longer?? I feel like such a dumby!

Oh Yeah and What do you mean a feeder farm? And I thought a person could only have one farm? Or maybe you play two separate accounts on two separate devices? I want to do that!! How?!? So at thirty-blank I am finally getting into games?? Yep I guess so hee hee!!

Not a dummy at all! I asked my sister all sorts of questions when I first started.
Towards the end of your shop. If you place an ad in the last crate, it will often be taken first and the rest won't move until you can put up a new ad.

edit to add: when I went back to my game after my last post here, I had two visitors waiting for wheat - one for 600+ and the other asking for over 200. Nearly cleaned me out ;)

Ok sweet! Thank you! Still working on building up and getting the other measly things out of the way. BUT still am wondering where it all goes if it doesn't sell??

And added this a little later to my previous post--probably too late: Oh Yeah and What do you mean a feeder farm? And I thought a person could only have one farm? Or maybe you play two separate accounts on two separate devices? I want to do that!! How?!? So at thirty-blank I am finally getting into games?? Yep I guess so hee hee!! <<So I'd love to know if you're comfortable sharing! :) >>

P.S. I've read the Faq's and stuff, but thought it meant you still could only have one account with two different devices. Anyway and either way-- just don't want to be a nuisance!

Double post ... Sorry

Will PM you

Mybluemitten, I don't know if anyone has mentioned this to you, but if you are working Tilly and the gang, you must ensure you have at least one of every crop and product in your silo and barn, or they will hone in on the products which you are lacking, instead of asking for your wheat. And, be patient, you may have to send them away several times before they ask for wheat. As mentioned, leaving your farm for a few minutes will encourage them to come calling.

Good advice, though no need to have X1 of ores, metal bars, building materials as they won't ask for these anyway. They will ask for mining equipment though

I have never been good at following that advice because I so often end up putting my last pizza or cookie in one of my orders or someone else's boat crate.

But I would say for the literally millions of wheat that I have sold to the visitors it's never done me any harm.
Especially since unless it's a Visitor Event the only thing I will sell to them is wheat anyway.

I try to only sell my visitors wheat but, alas, after a little tipple, I have sold them my axes or honey which I love to hoard. If I have less than 100 honey I go into panic mode and won't part with any until I produce more :saywhat:

You got het Hayday bleus.... I have been there around your level and around level 50-55 and first I found out what I liked the most to do. And for me it is the town. And then just foccussed on that part off the game. If I needen coins, coins, coins I only sold items and didn't buy anything unless it was a bargain and I could resell. It was hard but nescerary. When I needed only XP I did high xp trucks. Got rid off the lower one with more coins.

Just play and find your own strategy. I think every player has his own nice way that works. That's why I love the Derby, it makes me to do also boats, fishing and trucks which I normaly would skip unless with events. I am not a wheater but there are times I just do it for the fun.

Every EM which is over the numer I need for the next update, I sell. It gives coins and room in the barn, cause you will always have short off room. I am at level 81 and yes I am still short off room.

Sometimes I still get the bleus and just make small changes in my strategy so it is fun, or set for me one goal, like getting only the firts update for the barn, or just get to the next landexpension. Just make it work for you and hayday has lots off options to find your way.

My mother and sister are also HD addicts and they also do the town, but have other strategies or priorities. We like to talk about it and compare notes..... And I like te read on the forum and tell them about what I read and learned.

Yes this!
I get "the blues" sometimes too. Mostly it feels like it just gets to be too much organizing a bazillion different product streams and trying to make sure I have some of everything and so frequently being short of sugar and dairy.....
That I just decide I'll just grow and make things for awhile and try to build up my stock of the most premium items.

But then usually within a day I'm excited about the next Event or the Derby or getting my sister's farm to the level where she can help me with some of the sauce products.
Or seeing how well I can get a good fish supply by using nets alone. Etc.
There are always fresh ways to play.

Yes! The little people keep asking for my axes and saws and I only have a handful of each. What the heck?! Only a couple times so far have they asked for wheat. The one girl loves to ask for carrots. What?!

Patience, Grasshopper, patience.

Memo to me,,,,,,do not drink ANYTHING while reading posts!!lol

I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT PEOPLE REALLY DO NEED WHEAT! SWEET!! It definitely is not a fast way at all to make coins or xp, but for the most part it keeps you busy! It's very ebb and flow. One hour there will be no one that needs it, and the next- boom! Wheat is on the menu!! :cool: In the meantime I am making other products to sell that will make more coins for my struggling farm. Just slowly, slowly, slooooowly right?!??

Yes, slowly, slowly at first. It does pick up, though and don't forget to sell surplus drop items at full price and make sure you have enough to tempt the little people. I had my first million in my forties (level, that is ;) ) and I was never frugal when it came to shopping so I know the power of wheating :)

Hi! Why does it pick up later?? And how long does that take to happen?! I have to kind of laugh watching my coins creep like a snail upwards. And holy the amount of bread and chicken feed! Ooohftee!!
Also, what happens when you have finally acquired enough materials to expand your whatever, and then there aren't any more excesses to sell?? :unsure:
I just Really hope I can make enough to buy that darn next machine. Dangit money!!

Mine really started moving once I got followers. Treat them well and they will hang around and buy your wheat even when you forget to advertise. Check on followers often and look for subtle signs that they need your help. I have some who buy a couple crates of wheat to let me know they need plants watered or boat crates filled. I have some followers who obviously don't want "strangers" visiting their farms and will "tap me on the shoulder" to tend their plants because I have proven myself not to be a stalker or raider, only taking what is offered me when they call me. Also change farms you follow often until you find keepers. Some of them will prove to be super helpful to lower level players, some totally ignore you. You want the helpers! Don't go buying stuff in their shops if you see super cheap prices unless they have come to you first and let you know they want you to have something.

Some people, myself included to a degree, like to keep their bems and sems at fairly equal levels to promote even drop rates. It's not a perfect science as you will always have some items drop more often than others but it does help to get a few of the ones that are rare for you. In keeping numbers fairly balanced, you will always have surplus ;)

Look for boats that need help with bread if you want easy xp. I often fill bread crates and it's not painful to part with if you need to sell stuff to make more room.

Soybeans huh? I haven't considered that one. An idea I could try though for sure! Try, try, try! :o What do you do in the meantime while you're waiting for all the beans to grow though???
And yes-- the little people are ticking me off! Haha. They keep asking for the five axes or saws that I have or my corn or now it's soybeans instead of carrots. Got 2 at once who asked for wheat though. Yay! Hmph. The lull of in-between times. La la la la. Thank you and let me know what you do while you're waiting for your beans!! ;)

It's true that soy beans will sell at full price. Higher level players, who have coins to spare, need lots of them. I often buy them myself. As to growing them, I don't have the patience :p

Contrary to other experiences described here, I have never had a problem selling wheat at 10 for 1 coin as fast as I can produce it. Key is to build up the size of your RSS through adding people in either GC or FB, and a few diamonds if you can afford. And keep advertising.

I only sell in my RSS when my silo is full. Otherwise I allow it to build up in the hope that a visitor will come and buy the lot. My current record is 1,864 wheat to a single visitor, though often 2 come along both wanting wheat. I admit it gets easier as your silo increases in capacity. Try to keep the other crops in your silo to a sensible minimum so you have as much room for wheat. Remember that there is absolutely NO need to store crops like indigo and corn as they are freely available in the RSS - try to use the RSS as your larder, stocking only difficult to source crops in your silo while you are wheating

StanDadVille: Sage advice and great tips thank you! How did you make most of your profit when that's what you were trying for?? Was it also from selling drop EMs and extras? Any other ways?? I'm Still struggling with that!!

I never sold EMs - I used to surf the DD a lot, looking for items being sold at default and then selling them on at max price. I also made stuff and sold things in the RSS; never to truck orders. For a long time now I have used all the axes and saws from wheating to harvest cacao and blackberries, using the fruit to make stuff and selling the excess in the RSS. These tactics have always meant I have had easily sufficient funds for machines etc

What?! You need to harvest the cacao with saws and axes?! Oh great!!!! Or do you mean just when they're dead? I don't want to be selling all those now when I just got cacao trees!
