### Roadmap

Marketplaces are extremely complex, can spiral out of control and consume significant time. We do not intend to build a marketplace, our focus is on building a game.  The purpose of the initial trading is to enable players trading resources and gathering items they need for expansion, NFTs and in-game items.

It is important to note that this is only the initial version of trading. Iterations and improvements will be once feedback is gathered and we have more time. Additionally, the protocol is designed in a way that it can be extended by the core team or community for advanced trading and analytic tools.

## Selling

Do you have spare goods to sell? Well you are in luck, visit the Goblin Retreat and list some trades for visiting farmers.&#x20;

### How to sell an item?

To sell an item you will firstly need to visit Goblin Retreat and go to the Goblin in the Hot Air Balloon.

{% hint style="info" %}

### Sharing your trade?

Now that you have listed your trade it is time to tell other farmers so they can come and buy it!

Lucky for you we have set up a specific channel in our Discord channel - **#farmers-market**

When posting a listing, you will want to include your Farm ID, the resource, the amount and the asking price. This will help other farmer's find the item they are after.

"Farm #4 selling 150 Stone for 55 **Matic**"

#### Cancelling a trade

No interested buyers? Thats ok, you can cancel your trade and be refunded a "Trading Ticket". This will let you list a new item for sale.

#### **Daily Limits**

Each day you will be able to post 10 trades from your farm. If you cancel a trade, you will be able to list a new one.

#### What can be sold?

Currently the following items can be traded:

* Wood - 1000
* Stone - 1000
* Iron - 1000
* Gold - 1000
* Eggs - 1000
* Crops - 1000
* Sunflowers - 2000
* Fruits - 1000

**Trading Tickets**

If you have a trading ticket in your inventory, then you do not need to pay the MATIC fee for posting a trade. Nice!

#### **MATIC Fee?**

To sell an item, there is a flat $0.25 USD listing fee. This goes into the team's treasury and towards development and improvement of the trading feature.

Whether you sell 1 Wood or 1000 Wood, the fee will be the same - $0.25 USD

## Buying

Are you saving up for an NFT or a new piece of land but don't have the resources? Well praise the goblins, they have been scouring the land and finding awesome deals for you to buy!
