Hi, I''m a new player of torn.
Recently i've been hinking why traders buy useless items like cd player or christmas angel and why someone would buy these items?

People buy some weird stuff. Idk, when I was doing my dump merit, I went and bought useless items to get rid of it. Maybe people do that too?


Or... maybe they think Ched will add an use to it later on ;)

Another reason is some people just want stuff to tie their money up with to build net worth in order to get some merits.

It's funny though, I asked this exact question when I first started. For a second I thought my old thread got necrod

There are different types of "useless" items. Some were given out at special events or, even more rare, as gifts to staff members. These items have value because they are rare and unusual.

Some items once had a purpose and no longer do. For example the ivory walking cane (still usable as a weapon) , the firewalk virus (totally useless today) and the laptop computer (usable but no longer necessary) all once had a greater purpose than they have today.

Then there are items that are rumored to have a larger purpose in the future. For example, Crimes 2.0 will require some objects. possibly new objects or possibly current objects.

Then there are the many items sold abroad that are not worth what you pay for them. It's always best to check the market price for items in the Item Market before deciding to buy abroad.

For new players who cannot fly yet, safe items to resell are sheep, kitten and teddy plushies, pepper spray and beer. These can be bought in Torn shops ( limit 100 total items per day) and resold on the Item Bazaar for a profit. These items mentioned will always give you a profit.
