# Trade & Economy
Gold, shops, and selling to other players.
## Gold
You earn it by selling what you make, filling delivery orders and finishing quests.
You spend it on seed, tools and livestock. Those are the only things worth saving for, and the good ones cost real money.
Gold does not unlock anything on its own. Every gate in Bloomshire is a level, a quest or a road, never a price.
## The shops
Seed and tools, a general store, an apothecary for the stranger seed, a bakery and a tailor. Their shelves fill out as you earn the right to what is on them.
The Market Hall buys almost anything, at a fair fixed price, with a little extra for bringing in a full bag.
The Exchange trades one raw material for another when you have a surplus of the wrong thing.
## The Community Marketplace
This is where it gets interesting. Players sell to players, and the price is whatever the seller asked.
Everything on that board came out of someone's bag. Nothing is conjured by the game.
List something and it leaves your bag straight away, so it cannot be sold twice. If nobody buys it, you get it back.
A small cut goes to the house on every sale.
## What sells well
The Market Hall is fine for bulk. The marketplace is where scarce things go, because a player who needs one will pay more than the hall ever will.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.bloomshire.xyz/playing/economy.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
