Trading

Trading Items with Neighbors

1. Please make sure you have space in your barn for the items being received.
2. Share your Game Center or Facebook name and what level you are.
3. Agree to the number of items being traded and the price to trade at.
4. When posting items, always be sure to uncheck the advertise button. (don't want a stranger swooping in)
5. Place 1 wheat for sale for 1 coin in the LAST open slot in your store. (this decreases the chance of someone else buying the item)
6. When the wheat is purchased, you will see the photo of the person that you are trading with.
7. Immediately put up the items one at a time.

I traded with a lady this morning. She was asking for popcorn on the Hay Day Facebook page. I asked for her Game Center Nickname, she communicated that to me through Facebook and I added her to my Game Center friends, she accepted the friend request and she instantly became my Hay Day Friend (neighbor). Then we communicated through Facebook again. 

You just need to know the level they are on and their farm name.

She opened my Roadside Shop from the "Friends Menu Button" in the lower right corner of your screen, and then I created a new sale (popcorn) and then she bought them when they appeared.

She then asked if I needed anything. Yeah, "SCREWS". She didn't have any but she said that oftentimes she does sell them and that she would contact me when she had some available. She did sell me some Duct Tape.

Trade at your own risk
Unfortunately there are dishonest farmers who will not complete the transaction or will scam you out of the promised items etc. Trading outside of the newspaper is always done at your own risk and is not supported by Supercell (Hay Day). When I "Trade" I just sell the item we agreed on for full price....and then I purchase items from them for full price and then everyone is happy.

Tip

You can advertise in the Daily Dirt (Classifieds) for free every 30 minutes. Otherwise it will cost you a diamond if you desire to advertise again before the 30 minute time limit is up. 

If you haven't used the free advertisement in the last 30 minutes, the first item you place in your Roadside Shop will appear in the classifieds, unless you uncheck the "green check mark". The advertisement appears as a small newspaper attached to the item you want to advertise. 

When I am trading with someone I uncheck the "green check mark" so I will not advertise the item. Otherwise someone else will swoop in and buy the item you are trading.
