What's up with the Do Not Buy farms?

[cqman]

I think i know the reason.

The "For trade only" slogan is not for DD reader when the farmer advertising. The slogan is for his/her GC or FB
friend. Sometimes, some GC or FB friends raid goods selling at default price when trading.

I've never seen this, but I bet the person was right who suggested that these are farms in the middle of doing trades with either their hoodies, or between their own 2 farms, and think that will stop others from sweeping in and buying up their stuff while it sits vulnerably in it's little bin, waiting for the swap to go down. (good luck with THAT! lol)

I've always assumed this is because they only want to sell to their NH. I've seen plenty of FB post from people complaining that they can't just sell to there own NH (apparently this is stealing according to some posts I've read!); surely you just take the ad off and complete the trade quickly!

Personally, I very rarely read the name of the farm before I buy; I do occasionally spot one just after I've hit the item and bought it, oops, sorry😁
