Find out which traders and NPCs will be selling items for just $1 via their Bazaar this Friday.
Torn's Black Friday sales event begins at midnight tonight, kicking off 24 hours of $1 sales across nearly 200 individual bazaars. From 00:00 am on Friday the 27th of November, hundreds of traders will be selling a variety of items for just one dollar each, as will several NPCs. So if you'd like to grab yourself a bargain without contracting a deadly virus, stay indoors this year and do all your shopping in Torn City.
Pictured: You, having purchased twelve things you neither wanted nor needed.
To find out who is selling what and when, please check out our official Black Friday Seller's thread. We will be updating the top post throughout the day to keep you informed as to which bazaars are scheduled to sell $1 items at certain times. Alternatively, you can see the full day's schedule by visiting the Black Friday Spreadsheet.
We have done our best to ensure that all of the traders who have registered are still able to participate, and we have messaged them today to make sure (what a fun job). If you find that one of the traders has failed to show up for their slot, please try one of the others who are registered for that time. We have at least four traders for each half-hour timeslot, so there's no need to have a s**t-fit just because Offlineguy69 hasn't turned up.
In addition to regular players, several NPCs and myself will also be selling items through our personal bazaars. Leslie's bazaar will be active for half an hour at 9:00am TCT, with my bazaar opening at 13:30pm TCT. Later that day we will see Jimmy take part for the first time at 18:30pm TCT, with the ever-generous Duke set to list some items at 23:00pm TCT. You can expect some seriously ritzy items from us all, so don't be late!
TRADER RULES
To incentivise traders to sell multiple items throughout their half-hour slot, we are running a competition to see who can sell to the most individual buyers - we hope this will prevent players from selling hundreds of items to one scripter in the first ten seconds. The three traders who sell to the highest number of unique customers will each receive a Stat Enhancer. To be in with a chance of winning, traders are advised to drip feed their sales at multiple times during their half-hour slot and to temporarily blacklist repeat buyers if necessary.
We are also paying out a Donator Pack to every registered trader who sells at least twenty items for $1 each, so long as said items are collectively worth $10 million or more. For example, if a player sells 20 Xanax for $1, the cost of those items would usually be $832k each, meaning they have sold more than $16 million worth of items, and are therefore eligible for the Donator Pack. Only sales within a player's designated 30-minute timeslot will be counted.
The true value of the items sold will be determined by looking at their average value today, the 26th of November. Sellers are permitted to sell a variety of items or multiples of the same item. Once the event is over, Bogie and I will check through your activity logs (another fun job) to determine whether you qualify for the Donator Pack and/or the top prizes - you do not need to send us any sales logs or events. In fact, I insist that you don't.
Please note that only players who have registered with us are eligible for the prizes mentioned above. However, additional traders are welcome to take part and advertise their $1 sales in the official Black Friday thread. You won't be able to win a prize, but you may be able to increase your own personal bazaar sales by selling regularly priced items alongside your $1 products. Registered traders are also permitted to do this.
Sellers are encouraged to share details of their items for sale via the aforementioned Black Friday Seller's thread. You are permitted to advertise your bazaar wherever and however you wish - tattoo it on your child's forehead if you want. One player who has already gained a lot of attention is Raidriar01, who has promised to sell nearly $9 billion worth of items for $1 each via his bazaar on the day.
The Black Friday event will end with the final sales slot which begins at 23:30 and ends at 00:00. Happy shopping everyone!
tl;dr: buy things for cheap this Friday.
