The Marketplace: Buy and Sell Between Players

The Marketplace is the beating trade heart of BELLOCCO: the place where players buy and sell their possessions to each other. Almost anything of value can be listed here: vehicles, tuning parts, businesses, diamonds, bullets, drugs, hookers and vault codes. Whether you need quick cash, are hunting for a rare part or want to take over an entire business, the Marketplace is where you find and close the deal.

Trading with other players is one of the smartest ways to make money and expand your empire. If you read the market well, you buy low and sell high, just like a real mafia boss would.

Buy Now or place a bid

When creating a listing, sellers choose between two sale types:

• Buy Now: a fixed price. Whoever pays that amount gets the item instantly.
• Auction: buyers bid against each other. The highest bidder wins when the auction closes.

In an auction your bid is held immediately (reserved), so it is clear you can pay. If you are outbid later, you get your stake back right away and can place a higher bid if you want. That keeps bidding fair and transparent.

Safe trading

All transactions run through a secured system that protects both buyer and seller. Among other things, this means:

• With vehicles, all installed parts are automatically included in the sale.
• With businesses, the cash register, stock and level simply transfer to the new owner.
• A small market fee applies as a money sink, which keeps the economy healthy.
• While an item is listed for sale, it cannot be stolen, repaired or sold any other way: it is effectively locked until the deal is done.

Thanks to these safeguards you can be sure you get what you pay for, with no risk of tricks or double sales.

Sell and buy smart

Want to get the most out of the Marketplace? Keep an eye on prices. To judge the value of what you are selling or looking for, read the article on prices and valuation. A well-maintained vehicle with strong parts sells for more, and a rare item often earns more at auction than at a fixed price.
