Market

Trade your plants or crystals with other players here.

The tutorial explains how to list plants for sale at the market, but here are a few more tips and tricks.

There are three menu options when you click on the "market" in the main game window.

## Buying

When you first open the market, you'll be taken to the buying options. Plants are listed in order of how much each plant costs individually, from lowest to highest price. You can purchase one or many of the plants listed from a certain seller. Use the +/- signs around the amount or type in the number of plants you'd like to buy. Click "buy" to immediately use crystals to purchase the number of plants in the current amount box.

If you're looking for a specific plant, use the element icons on the left side to narrow down your search results, and use the green arrows below the element signs to see more buying options.

It can be worth comparing the prices to see if you're really getting a bargain. Only regular plants can be listed at the market. If you want fruit trees, you must purchase them from the shop. Seasonal plants are only available from unique sources, and gold plants must be grafted using puzzle pieces. You cannot purchase plants you haven't unlocked; the "buy" button for these plants will be grayed out, and if you click it, the game will inform you you can't purchase that plant—yet.

## Selling

You can sell your own regular plants at the market to earn a few crystals. Go to the sell tab to get started.

Before selling anything, you might want to check to see if anyone else is selling the plant you're looking to exchange for cash. Most plants have a minimum price, but you can theoretically charge however much you'd like. You'll be paying a 10% market fee on each listing, regardless of if it sells, so it's wise to price your plants competitively so you get a return on your investment.

To start, you can only have three plant listings at a time. If you'd like to place a fourth listing, you'll have to pay 20 water lilies.

In the sell menu, you can see plants you currently have listed for sale, and you can create new offersClick the ? to see your plant inventoryYou can narrow down your inventory by using the element icons on the leftOnce you've selected a plant, you must decide how many to sell and how much each one should costThe cost to list a plant is 10% of the listed total price. The market will immediately take this fee, and the plants will be removed from your inventoryIf you decide to cancel your offer, you will not get the market fee back, but the plants will be returned to your inventoryYou can list three offers for just the regular market fee, but if you want four or more listings, you'll pay a few water lilies for eachIf your plants have been for sale for 30 days, they will automatically be taken off the market and returned to your inventory. You will not regain the market fee.

## Transactions

In the transactions tab, you can see all the plants you've sold on the market. There is currently no way to see all the plants you've purchased at the market.

A scale icon will appear when one or more of your plants has sold. The crystals will be automatically credited to your account; you do not have to click anything. Other players can buy part or all of a listing, which may result in uneven numbers. You can use the green arrows at the bottom of the menu to see all listings you've ever put on the market.

## Q&A

Q. How do I know if I'm overpaying at the market?

A. There isn't exactly a simple way to check this. We recommend going to the shop and seeing what the average price for a plant is there. Remember, however, that the cost of plants in the shop increases exponentially by 50% each time you buy a pack of 20, so if you are trying to purchase 100 plants or more, it's nearly always cheaper to buy from the market.

Q. What do I do if a listing just won't sell?

A. There are a lot of reasons a plant isn't selling. Sometimes it's just not in high demand; sometimes the prices is too high; sometimes another player has undercut your listing by listing the same plant for cheaper. No matter the case, you've already spent the market fee, and you cannot get those crystals back. We recommend just leaving the plant there unless you either absolutely need that space for another listing or if you need the plants back. Note that if you list a higher level plant, only players who have also unlocked that plant can buy it. If you really want to make cash fast, it's better to sell lower level plants like lampions or mushrooms that nearly everyone can buy.

Q. How much should I list my plants for?

A. A new offer is automatically populated with the lowest possible price. You cannot decrease the price from there. However, your plants are usually worth more than the minimum. It helps to compare the price of other plants that are either the same or have similar growth times. Plants which take longer to grow or which are unlocked at higher levels often sell for higher prices, but since you cannot purchase a plant you haven't unlocked, there are fewer players who can purchase higher level plants. If there are no other offers to compare your listing to, you can always compare it to the shop prices, although this may require some math unless you're planning to sell fewer than 20 plants in your listing.
