About This Game

Know a bargain when you see one?

Sift the gems from the garbage - and you could make it big!

Play as an upcoming bargain hunter looking to make your fortune turning "trash" into cash!
Beginning with just a few bucks, aim to become fabulously wealthy... or go bust trying!

- Starting off in your shabby house with a rusty old car in the garage, you'll visit lawn sales, thrift stores, flea markets and antiques dealers as you try to hunt down that bargain that could make it BIG! You can even visit the beach for some metal detecting!

- From teapots to teddy bears and vases to violins, there's a huge array of items to choose from!

- Want to try your hand at haggling? See if you can strike a deal with each of the sellers you meet! Every character features immersive voice acting to help you feel like you're really there!

- Inspect items to discover any damage or special features they might be hiding... but don't get too eager, or you might tick off the vendor and blow the whole deal!

- When you're ready to see just how much your finds are worth, head down to the salerooms for nailbiting auction action! You'll hear and see the auctioneer selling off your loot to the highest bidder, hopefully bringing you in a tidy profit... but watch out, it could also be a crashing loss!

- Don't expect the auction house to go easy on you, though! If you bring in junk, the valuer will toss it back at you!

- Mess up too many times, and you'll soon be swamped with bills piling high... bankruptcy lurks just around the corner!

- But get it right and you'll be raking in the profits, improving your home, upgrading your car and buying ever more expensive rarities before you know it!

Can you trade your way to the top?

Fortune - or failure - awaits in the wheeling-and-dealing world of Bargain Hunter! a09c17d780

This game is strangely addictive. Not sure how many hours I put on it, likely in the 40-60 range.

It is difficult to find the right thing to buy, and sometimes a crap shoot at the auction. But you eventually learn what usually sells for a good price. Watch out for counterfeit merch, although it is near impossible, as far as I can tell, to know before you buy it.

On to the story of why I stopped playing, and cannot recommend this game.

It took going bankrupt several times to start figuring out which items were more reliably sellable at auction; Furniture, chess sets, cutlery, typewriters, sewing machines, etc...

Once I figured it out, it was pretty easy to maintain and slowly build my bankroll. As you have bills that pop up sporadically. Electricity ~$50, food ~$15, internet ~$20 things like that. I got hit with medical bills of $300 at one point. I was able to soak that and move one. Then... After several ingame days and many real life hours, I worked my bankroll up to ~$1750, things were going well, I had a decent routine down, and then... I get hit with a house repairs bill for.... ~$1775. Basically the game negating everything i had done over the pasl 4-5 real life days in this game.

I am done, if you want an endless clicker\/frustration simulator, this may be the game for you.. This game is strangely addictive. Not sure how many hours I put on it, likely in the 40-60 range.
