Market

The **Market** is an unlockable location in Poppy Seed Pets.

## How to Unlock

The **Market** is unlocked once a pet discovers it.

## Market Listings

In the **Market**, players can view and buy items that have been listed for sale by other players. Items can be listed for sale by clicking "Sell..." on an item from the owner's House, Basement, or Fireplace.)

It is currently possible to filter **Market** listings to search for foods, items that add spices, tools, items that add tool bonuses, hats, and items that have or haven't been donated to the player's Museum.

## Market Bids

In the **Market**, buyers have the option of placing bids on items that they would like to purchase. They can specify the per-unit price that they are willing to pay and the quantity of items that they are looking for. Once their bid is placed, {{m]] is subtracted from their account and placed on hold with the bid. (The remaining held {{m]] will be refunded if the bid is cancelled.)

If a seller lists an item at or below a price of an existing bid, the highest bidder (or the first one who placed the bid, in the event of a bid price tie) will win that item. The buyer will receive the item, and the reserved funds for the sold units will be permanently removed. The seller will receive the amount of {{m]] that they listed the item for, not the buyer's per-unit bid amount. Any {{m]] difference between the bid and the sale price will be lost as tax.

All players begin with 5 maximum bids. This limit can be increased in multiple ways:

* +5 bids for buying 50 items from the **Market**
* +5 bids for selling 50 items in the **Market**
* +10 bids for donating 400 items to the Museum

## Market Limits

The maximum cost at which a player can list something for sale is determined by their Market Limit. New players begin with a limit of 10~~m~~.

Players can increase their Market Limit by talking to the Market Manager, who will request a particular item to be brought. Once that item is brought to the Market Manager, the player's Market Limit increases, up to a maximum of 150{{m]].

## Bulk Selling

Players can unlock a bulk selling feature, which will allow them to select multiple items (of any type) and list them all for the same price. The quest to unlock bulk selling is given by the Market Manager, but the option will not be visible until the player has done all of the following:

* Unlock the Museum
* Unlock the **Market**
* Raise the personal market limit to at least 100~~m~~

If the option has been unlocked, the player can receive their Winged Key by asking the Market Manager, "Selling items one at a time is annoying. Can't I sell multiple at once?" (A copy of the Winged Key is automatically donated to the Museum upon receipt.)

Once the Winged Key is received, the player must equip it to a pet and wait for the pet to complete the adventure in Abundantia's Vault.

## Quest Dialogue: Increase Market Limits

"I was wondering if I could increase my market limits?"

When asked about market limits, Argentelle always has trouble remembering the player's name. What she says at the start is random; it is not dependent on the quest step. She will say one of two things:

Argentelle

And you are?

Oh, yes, (player)...

or

Argentelle

\*sigh\* let me look you up... (player), right?

After she says this, she will continue with quest-specific dialogue.

To unlock 20~~m~~ limit

Argentelle

Your current limit is 10~~m~~. I can increase the limit by 10~~m~~, in exchange for String.

"How can I get one of those?"

Argentelle

Your pets should be able to make some out of Fluff.

"Here you go!"(if player has item)

Argentelle

Okay, then. That brings your limit up to 20~~m~~, so next would be... Pectin.

"Here you go!"(if player does not have item)

Argentelle

Uh-huh.

To unlock 30~~m~~ limit

Argentelle

Your current limit is 20~~m~~, so next would be... Pectin.

"How can I get one of those?"

Argentelle

You should be able to extract some from a Red, or Carrot.

"Here you go!"(if player has item)

Argentelle

Okay, then. That brings your limit up to 30~~m~~, so next would be... Iron Bar.

"Here you go!"(if player does not have item)

Argentelle

Uh-huh.

To unlock 40~~m~~ limit

Argentelle

Your current limit is 30~~m~~, so next would be... Iron Bar.

"How can I get one of those?"

Argentelle

Your pets will need to refine some from Iron Ore. When you do get an Iron Bar, please just leave it on the desk over there. Fairies don't do iron.

"Here you go!"(if player has item)

Argentelle

Thank you. That brings your limit up to 40~~m~~, so next would be... Elvish Magnifying Glass.

"Here you go!"(if player does not have item)

Argentelle

Uh-huh.

To unlock 50~~m~~ limit

Argentelle

Your current limit is 40~~m~~, so next would be... Elvish Magnifying Glass.

"How can I get one of those?"

Argentelle

It's a magnifying glass made from silver. Your pets should be able to make one.

"Here you go!"(if player has item)

Argentelle

Okay, then. That brings your limit up to 50~~m~~. I can increase the limit by 10~~m~~ in exchange for Gold Key.

"Here you go!"(if player does not have item)

Argentelle

Uh-huh.

To unlock 60~~m~~ limit

Argentelle

Your current limit is 50~~m~~. I can increase the limit by 10~~m~~, in exchange for Gold Key.

"How can I get one of those?"

Argentelle

Your pets will need to make one. Out of gold.

"Here you go!"(if player has item)

Argentelle

(No data yet)

"Here you go!"(if player does not have item)

Argentelle

Uh-huh.

## Quest Dialogue: Unlock Bulk Sell

"Selling items one at a time is annoying. Can't I sell multiple at once?"

Argentelle

That's a you problem more than a me problem.

\*sigh\*

That came out wrong. Let me try again:

*I* can't do anything about the limited amenities provided by your squalid dwelling, but there *is* something you and your pets can do.

Take this Winged Key; give it to one of your pets, and-- well: figure it out yourself.

\*sigh\*

*By which I mean:* you're a very clever human who can solve *mind-bending* puzzles all on their own and doesn't need a house fairy talking down to them.

And that's my requisite compliment for the day. One to-do item down; just a few *hundred* left to go.

*You got a Winged Key! (And one was donated to the Museum on your behalf, so you don't have to worry about that part!)*

"Uh... thanks."

Argentelle

Please, don't mention it.

Especially not to anyone else, if that's possible.

## Market Manager Dialogue: Money-making Tips

"Have any tips on how to make a ton of money?"

If the Museum and Basement are not yet unlocked:

Argentelle

If it were that easy, everyone would be rich. In which case, wouldn't no one be rich?

Anyway, I guess I do have one tip. And one... clarification.

1. Tip: you can list items in your Basement for sale. To get the Basement... it's a whole thing. Ask me again if you've unlocked the Museum; you should have found it after - eh - 3 days or so.
2. Clarification: you can't see your *own* items in the market. So if you list - I dunno - a Trinity Blade for 2~~m~~, you won't see Trinity Blade listed at that price. Because no one else would be crazy enough to sell one for so little.

If the Museum is unlocked but the Basement is not yet unlocked:

Argentelle

If it were that easy, everyone would be rich. In which case, wouldn't no one be rich?

Anyway, I guess I do have one tip. And one... clarification.

1. Tip: you can list items in your Basement for sale. If you don't have a Basement, you really ought to get one. Check at the Bookstore. You have to have donated a lot of items to the Museum before it shows up, though.
2. Clarification: you can't see your *own* items in the market. So if you list - I dunno - a Trinity Blade for 2~~m~~, you won't see Trinity Blade listed at that price. Because no one else would be crazy enough to sell one for so little.

If both the Museum and Basement are unlocked:

Argentelle

If it were that easy, everyone would be rich. In which case, wouldn't no one be rich?

Anyway, I guess I do have one tip. And one... clarification.

1. Tip: you can list items in your Basement for sale. I'm sure you noticed the basement can store tons of items.
2. Clarification: you can't see your *own* items in the market. So if you list - I dunno - a Trinity Blade for 2~~m~~, you won't see Trinity Blade listed at that price. Because no one else would be crazy enough to sell one for so little.
