Mr Prepper: Merchants, trade Mr Prepper guide, walkthrough
Last update: 20 April 2021
This page of the Mr. Prepper guide contains information about the trading system and what goods are offered by particular merchants as you develop the trust level. You will also find tips on where to find rare items.
Trade
Trading system in Mr. Prepper is very simple. At the beginning, you get access to three merchants.
To start trading, interact with your mailbox. You will see a list of merchants. After clicking on one of them, you will see the goods they offer in the upper section, and below - those that they want to buy from you; after selecting the goods, you will learn the quantity (of the goods offered and the ones they want to buy - you can not sell everything you own at once). The number of items for sale and those purchased is always limited to a few items per day. The offer of merchants (both buy and sale) changes (slightly and to a limited extent) and renews every day.
Trading with merchants increases their level of trust (visible when you select a merchant, in the form of a green bar above the list of offers). When it reaches the next level, sometimes you will unlock new merchants and receive an extended range of products to sell to or buy from the merchant.
List of traders and goods
Below you will find a list of all items available for purchase / sale from merchants available in the game. The green color indicates exceptional items that are worth paying closer attention to.
When you increase the trust level, Bob from the mine will have two The Art of Negotiation books on sale, which will lower prices at all merchants'.
