Probably Stolen Display Case Customers Explained

Several displayed objects do not promise one buyer for every object. Merchandise attracts buyer categories, while signs seek suppliers through a different customer pool. Prepare the case before opening and use Clientele to inspect the forecast.

Set up the case before the shutter

Place the goods you actually want to sell in the display case, not merely on the trading counter. Check the forecast before raising the shutter. Changes after opening prepare a later day rather than replacing today's selected customers. The first tutorial day also has a documented restriction.

Why only one category gets a buyer

The community references describe a limited number of merchandise-buyer slots and selection by the combined displayed value of each category. Several objects sharing a category do not become several separate categories. Inspect Expected Buyers From Displayed Merchandise, compare the categories listed, and test a focused display before buying more upgrades. Exact maximum slots and price thresholds are omitted because published versions differ.

Separate buyer bait from supplier signs

A Food Neon Sign seeks someone selling food; displayed food seeks someone buying it. Special signs compete for normal-customer opportunities rather than guaranteeing an additional visit each. Read that part of Clientele separately. Remove unneeded attractors when testing a missing supplier, and keep cash ready to buy the goods if they arrive.

A visitor still needs the right stock

Check the arriving customer's Interests, Restrictions and Budget. A matching display gets attention but does not make any item acceptable or affordable. For wine, confirm that fermentation finished; an empty Wine Bottle is a different good. For appraisal, the certificate attracts the service customer and belongs with the appraisal workflow.

FAQ

Will five objects bring five buyers?

No one-per-object guarantee is established. Shared categories and limited slots explain why the forecast can be shorter.

Can I fix today's queue after opening?

Set the next display while closed and check the next forecast. The opening state determines the day's display selection.
