Trading

Trading is a new feature added on the 23rd March.

Raktam

The trading post is at [-70.319,+26.472]. The traders name is Tamdal Tik.

As an outsider, I exchanged a rifle for 5 bananas. I have no idea what he was saying though as it was all gibberish, I asked to trade rifle for bananas and got the Accept/Reject buttons. Clicking Accept made 5 bananas appear in my inventory. Also managed to trade for a first aid kit, but when I tried it a second time, I got some kind of error (spoken in native) and first aid kits were off the list of things to trade for. --Snarf 12:57, 26 March 2006 (BST)

You ask to trade your gold coins for his healing herbs. Tamdal Tik makes you an offer, "Ick wiknik tameck gaklal coonik fal sikmog hokackickgak hokbak"

Once accepted:

Tamdal Tik says, "Gakack, hokrak'sik 1 hokackickgak hokbak fal 3 ock yakuck gaklal coonik"

It cost me 3 gold coins for 1 healing herbs! --Snarf 13:14, 26 March 2006 (BST)

Wiksik

i was in wikisik the other day and traded one gold coin for around 32 poison darts, when i traded a second time, he gave me only 12... is that a bug?

and also, this is getting really confusing, some things are just far too overpriced, even poisonous berries cost me... i think 5 mangos...

i think the price are based on what the trader have. I tried to sell one heavy sword for 49 gold coins , but the trader said me it haven't so much money..--JonesDye 15:25, 28 March 2006 (BST)

I dont know about that, but i want to know what the schedule is for "items" that the trader does not have, doees he ever get new shipments? ..--Richard Rose 15:25, 28 March 2006 (BST)

Derby

Trader Tom apologises, "Sorry, I think the rifle would be worth about two gold coins but I doubt you could carry all that, do you have anything you could discard?"

Trader Tom says, "You can't carry enough to trade for that many gold coins"

Apparently, trades cannot exceed the inventory limit. This also brings up the possibility that we figured wrong about the weight of Gold coins. --Lint 01:10, 8 April 2006 (BST)

York

Here are Trader Harry's current prices on April 12. The commission appears to be about 5%. The roundoff is in Harry's favor, so your actual "cost" may be much higher. For example, you'll need two GPS Units to buy one Rifle, even though 17 Bullets gets a GPS and 20 Bullets gets a Rifle. You're better off selling 1 GPS Unit into "cash" (bullets or berries), then accumulating cash to buy a Rifle, rather than cross-trading GPS->Rifle. (In my experience, you'd be better off searching the nearby Armory instead, and getting a Rifle for free...)

• Rifle $300
• GPS Unit $250
• First-Aid Kit $200
• Machete $100
• Gold Coin $100 (Used As The Benchmark)
• Knife $80
• Blunt Machete $70
• Sharpening Stone $60
• Crab $60
• Banana, Mango, Bottle of Beer $40
• Bottle of Water $30
• Berry $20
• Bullet $15

I didn't have enough IP hits to check on Blowpipes, Poison Darts, etc. --Tycho44 06:01, 12 April 2006 (BST)

Durham

I am an outsider, and went to the trading hut in Durham (-70.649,+26.347). There I recieved 5 Rifle bullets for 1 gold coin, 4 Rifle bullets for a knife (repeated 3 more times) and 3 Rifle bullets for a blunt machete (repeated twice). Anothertwilight 00:15, 28 March 2006 (BST)
