This is the method I tend to use. I click on similiar parts and you sometimes find other things on the vendor's shelves that you need. And it takes me sometime but I do not pay over 500 simolians for items like dozer parts and city storage capacity upgrades.

Nice to know that more people have success with this meethod. Thanks for sharing!

I also tend to have more success on my faster home internet than my slower work internet. One also has to remember that items from the store tend to sell faster than the items that the game drops (dozer parts, Vu items and storage parts).

I think the reason behind this is that not every item is globally visible. You can only list a single item as global every four minutes. Thus some items remain hidden for some time...

I do follow your genre method of farming. Being a fast tapper doesn't hurt either. Let's say I need watermelons, I don't choose windows that show items made with watermelons because chances are they have used up those items. I also shy away from stacks of 5 factory items. These are usually mass producers a specific item only..all wood, etc. Some people never change their name. You can get to know the selling style of certain players, do they only sell finished commercial products, do they offer a little of everything etc and when you see their name, you can choose to visit accordingly. I actually do quite well on global but when I go for an item I usually single focus and can very quickly open and scan a city. Experience is the key. There are also prime trading times. It's like this window of high activity globally. Weekends, and Mayor contest times are also a boost.

I noticed this when I was doing burgers I found lots of vu items but when trying to find them don't appear so this is a good method

Good stuff.
I also tap on items from the same shop. For example, if I am looking for corn but i come across someone selling melons, i will tap on it because if someone is using a cheetah token to produce items, they may produce different items.
