    popular -> I confirm! Thanks for the countless times I bought tomatoes, potatoes, lettuces, and other cool stuff in your store .

    I sell everything at default to my NH (takes too long to reduce down) but most of our NH are high level players so it doesn't matter. I sell to needy (low on coins) NH members at 1coin and I have on occasion passed stuff back and forth to transfer coins if a lower level member is saving for machines. I usually grab expansion stuff from DD and pass on to NH at default meaning I loose coins. I never sell at default
    In the DD... not because I'm greedy or begrudge helping other people but because you can't select who buys from your RSS. selling cheap isn't guaranteed to bought by the lower level needy players.
    *cough
    Plus I'm spending huge coinage on my rather long golden bling path. At 25000 a piece and going up each time, hell I gotta get the finances from somewhere

    Think being ambitious is different frm being greedy, like uncledomi said i like to stay in 8 digit coins. I have helped low levels before most of em took 1000's of coins n handful of lems n other tools n within a few months they jus quit or they jus turn their back on me lol btw they r strangers. So if u r really a helpful person, help ppl u knw irl and its a game so u cannot rely on a person to progress, if u can't progress then this game s nt for u. There are lots of ways to make money easily check it in new to hayday section. I use to sell at default price n i use to sell 10sets of tools bems n sems at 1coin. Thank god for teaching me a good lesson, i have become a consciously selfish tat doesn't mean am greedy blah blah blah lol its tat i don't trust strangers anymore.

    Low level farmers are supposed to be the bottom feeder for high level farmers for products. And high level farms are supposed to be feeder to low level farmers for coins. Not the other way around. Did you not notice that you have no use for soy sauce for a number of levels. So you practically have to sell soy sauce between level 54 and level 61?
    If low level farmers buy stuff to send orders, and rush leveling without securing their coin balance, it is completely their own problem.

    There are two types of tokens in the game, coins & experience points (XP).

    There are 4 main venues where you exchange your products for these tokens.

    First one is Roadside Shop RSS. If you sell at max price you get 100% available tokens as coins. You'll notice almost everyone here suggests low levels selling stuff at their RSS, but there are other ways where you can gain more coins than roadside shop price, and you gain less tokes almost everytime when you choose to sell at RSS.

    For example selling 10 Bread gives you 216 coins in RSS, thus 100% available tokens for 10 bread is 216 in the RSS.

    The second venue is boat orders and third is town orders. In these two venues If you fill an order for 10 breads, you recieve 110 coins (51%) and 110 xp (51%). Notice how the summary of both tokens are 102% of the RSS value. Almost all products have a very near figure to 100% of available 'RSS' tokens. And most of the products have even distribution of 50%/50% XP&Coins when you fill boat and town orders.
    Some basice products give you less than 100% of available tokens: Farm animal products & crops. Corn for example gives 28%+28% and a total of 56% of available tokens when you choose to fill town or boat orders.
    Some products are specialized in money making: Jewelery.
    Diamond rings for example give you 150% coins and 25% XP. That means you get 175% of available tokens when you fill a town order for a ring. Thus makes RSS a terrible place for selling them. Too bad we don't have enough town orders and truck orders for diamond rings. :/
    Also some products are specialized in experience points: Candies!
    Jelly beans for example give you 144% experience and 18% coins. That means you get 162% of available tokens when you fill a town order for a jelly bean.
    Also you get additional XP and a voucher for completing a boat order, and get an additional gift for fully serving a townie. Town buildings also can be upgraded for additional XP point and coin bonuses. I have 60% XP on all buildings and I am basicly losing tokens each time I sell a product on RSS already!

    The last venue is truck orders. The truck orders does not have a fixed distribution for xp/coins like town and boats have. For regular products they may give you 75% coins & 25% XP of the available tokens, or also it can give you 25% coins and 75% XP of available coins OR anything in between these distributions. Crops, farm animal products, jewelery and candy still have their specialties for trucks. And you get additional tokens if you have level 1 and level 2 masteries for each related machine. And there are also vouchers for metal bars and jewelery.

    If a player chooses to heavily progress on XP tokens, he spends from his own coins balance. If a player chooses to sell on RSS he forfeits all the bonus tokens that you may get from filling orders to build up his coins.

    We don't need to babysit lowbies.
    If they want to gain tokens they can choose to produce crops in the fields, make products on the machines, collect fruits in the trees&bushes or collect animal products in their animal pens and from fishing area.
    If they need coins they can choose to exchange products for tokens in any venue that fits their needs. They can sell for max price on RSS, or they can fill a single building townie and get a TEM as a reward and sell the TEM on RSS to gain more tokens.
    If they need XP, they can shop for products and exchange their tokens into experience points.

    But if they need coins for machines, why the hell are they shopping for products to fill orders, while their machines are probably staying idle.

    The XP gap between each level does allow every farmer to buy every available machine without a coin shortage if they choose to produce their own stuff to fill orders, with their own produce. I mean they gain enough coins for the next machine (excluding extra smelters and lobsterpool duck salon slots) if they produce to fill orders rather than shop to fill orders.

    They don't have to sell any product on RSS other than wheat, eggs, milk, bread or popcorn etc, and they will still have enough coins for the next machine unless they heaily shop for XP or sell at low price (excluding wheat).

    This does not mean buying to produce is a bad thing. Buying to produce is always profitable. Buy bacon and bread to make hamburgers, or buy pumpkin and eggs to make pumpkin pie. You'll always make a profit at the end and gain both coins and experience points. Machines sitting idle is a loss.

    I for one am quite irritated to babysit those farmers who made mistakes by rushing levels in a wrong way. I am not fond of resellers, who buy cheap tofu dogs, only to sell it for max price seconds later.

    If I sell a stuff at a discount it means I am lazy enough to increase or decrease the price, and I know who the buyer is.

    BTW I will post this post to new to hay day section as a guide to new people after I edit on topic stuff for this thread.

    High level player here but super poor. I shop a lot so I'm not uber coin rich. That's why I sell at max price.

    I can always use some coins.

    I normally give deep discounts to my friends, family, and neighbors. I work (actually play) really hard to manage supplies and make different things. Why should I reduce the price for any random person who comes to my shop?

    Yes.
    I am ready for 2! Bring it on, NOWWWW

    I always sell with max, even to followers. Only exception is trading because default price is faster to place. I don't like anyone buy my stuff only to resell them as max to make quick money. It's a farming game, if you cannot afford buying something, don't buy, grow your own. We've all been there, starting as noobs and climbing our way to top without much help, why should I make it easier for new players?

    I'm not greedy, I'm just mean

    So not really greediness, just a way for me to still find some motivation in this game, a kind of personal goal.
    This is me too. I have a goal to make a certain amount of money, and just recently set myself back because I accidentally purchased a stupid golden horse statue .

    but I don't always sell full price. Depending on my mood, I'll throw some default stuff in my shop, but usually it's max. I do however put LEMs in my shop at default, and it's usually my lower level friends that grab them. Ive even noticed that after some buy my default LEMs, I check their shop and they have them up for sale in their own shop for full price. Well, power to them...if that helps them earn coins, I'm happy to sell those at default, and I do remember how frustrating it was to find LEMs and BEMs and SEMs in the paper and not have enough barn space or coins to buy it. That's why I never sell BEMs SEMs or LEMs in packs of 10.

    To hood mates, if I'm helping with any task, everything is default. It's just easier.

    Dragon????

    I read that if your short of coins then you are leveling up too quick. I was so poor at earlier levels (yes I leveled up very quick) I'm a terrible saver like in rl and when I needed to buy a machine I literally sold off everything in my barn then had to start from scratch. I did this several times. I used to cry!!! In this game you need the machines and various other things such as fish & mine to progress. I wouldn't do town or boat and sold max through my RSS until I had saved enough... it's character building

    Maybe I'm destined for the scorched earth challenge .... certainly not a lot else to do at the moment.

    Have I missed a Dragon update?
