"Buy low, sell high." - Ancient Wildoria Merchant Proverb
What is the Marketplace?
The Marketplace is the central hub where citizens trade items. It allows you to sell items you don't need or purchase crafting materials, tools, and rare goods from other players.
- Smartphone App (In-game menu) - Access anywhere!
- City Hall Terminals - Physical kiosks in the city center
How it Works
Buying
The marketplace is a direct-purchase system. There are no auctions or bidding wars.
- Browse the listings
- Find the item you want
- Pay the listed price
- The item is instantly transferred to your inventory
Selling
Can't find a buyer in person? List it on the market.
- Select an item from your inventory
- Set a Price per Unit
- Set the Quantity you want to sell
- Confirm listing
Your item will remain listed until someone buys it or you manually remove it.
Fees & Taxes
Wildoria's economy is designed to be fair but sustainable.
- Listing Fee: 0 coin (encourage trade)
- Commission: 2%, paid by the buyer on top of the asking price. The seller receives the full asking price; the commission is held by the house and leaves circulation.
Note: The commission rate can be adjusted via a DAO Vote.
Smart Contracts
All trades are secured by the ancient "Ledger of Trust" (our lore for Smart Contracts).
- Escrow: Coin is held in escrow until the item is delivered
- Security: Impossible to scam. If the item isn't exactly as listed, the trade fails
Popular Trade Items
Currently, the most traded categories are:
| Category | Examples |
|---|---|
| Resources | Iron Ore, Wood, Fish |
| Tools | Pickaxes, Fishing Rods |
| Consumables | Food, Energy Drinks |
Seasonal and daily farming outputs from Plants also feed this market cycle.
Tips for Traders
- Check Competitors: Before listing, search for your item to see what others are charging
- Bulk Selling: Selling resources in stacks (x10, x100) often attracts crafters
- Be Patient: If your item isn't rare, it might take time to sell
- Watch the Market: Prices fluctuate based on supply and demand!
