At any given moment at a given trade portal, items will sell there for | At any given moment at a given trade portal, items will sell there for 25% or 1/4th of the buying price at the same portal at that moment. As prices change and vary between trade portals, there can be trade portals with vastly different prices, allowing a profit to be made. Prices also change over time, so a price may go up or down as time passes. Buying items raises prices while selling items lowers prices. | ||

Beginning with [[Game updates/20180314|version 1.7]], trade portals do not show items for buying or selling that have not yet been "found" (picked up by a blockhead). For worlds created before 1.7, only those items introduced in that version will be unavailable. Unavailable items have question marks instead of icons. | |||

The Blockmarket website was opened to the public on 11 August 2014. The defunct website, located at <s>http://blockmarket.theblockheads.net</s>, rebuilt at https://wiki.floofyplasma.com/Blockmarket, shows the current global prices to buy an item in gold coins at trade portals. It also shows the percent change since 24 hours ago, being red if the price has gone down and green if the price has gone up. Clicking on an item's name shows a graph of the price for the last 24 hours. | |||
As described on their "What is this?" page: | |||
<blockquote>''"In The Blockheads, there are 'trade portals' which allow players to buy and sell most in-game items on a global marketplace. Every time a player buys an item, the global price rises a little, and every time they sell an item, the price falls. This website displays the current global prices for the in-game economy."''</blockquote> | |||

When selling items, coins will not be exchanged automatically and may overflow out of a blockhead's inventory. | ||
The acts of buying and selling affect the listed prices for that item, although the results may not be visible until multiples of the item have been traded. Buying will cause a price increase, while selling will cause a price decrease. Items going for less than one copper coin each will be listed as multiples of the item, indicated by a number superimposed over its icon.

Beginning with [[Game updates/20140527|version 1.5.1]], an icon on each item line shows single or double arrowheads up or down or a horizontal line. These associate the listed price with an unspecified standard and indicate whether it is high, low, or normal. The arrowheads are green or red (green up for sell, green down for buy, so green indicates the price favors the player/blockhead).

===Job Listings=== | |||
{{See also|Job Listings}} | |||
The Job Listings button does not pull up the item exchange menu; instead it pulls up a list of available "jobs" that a blockhead may be assigned to. Each job is available for a limited time, may require a specified tool, and has both a specified duration and reward. The more advanced the tool and longer the job takes to complete, the larger and more valuable the reward tend to be. When a job's availability clock expires, it gets replaced with another. Only jobs the operating blockhead is properly equipped for may be accepted. Once a job is accepted, the blockhead will vanish, its inventory will become unavailable, and its status will change to a count-down of time remaining to complete the job (with an optional time crystal cost to complete immediately). The selected job will also become unavailable until the entry expires. When the job is complete, the working blockhead's status changes to a single button; tapping the button will make the blockhead reappear with the reward in their inventory. If a tool was required, it will show some wear. | |||
==Expert Mode== | |||
When playing in an [[Expert Mode]] world, crafting a trade portal requires a level 6 (diamond) portal. They can still be found in cave troll lairs. | |||
The primary difference in using a trade portal in expert mode is the cost of the upgrades, which is as follows: | |||

As it's possible to acquire [[Copper Coin|copper]] | As it's possible to acquire [[Copper Coin|copper]], [[Gold Coin|gold]] or [[Platinum Coin|platinum]] coins and even gems by finding [[Golden Chest|golden chests]] near the surface or [[meditation]], the introduction of trade portals allow for acquiring various important materials without [[Mining|digging]] deeply. [[Game updates/20180314|Version 1.7]] changes this by requiring the item to be found by other means before it can be bought or sold. | ||
For improved effectiveness when selling, pay attention to what can be crafted from raw materials and compare that with what the raw materials themselves will fetch. It is typically profitable to do a little crafting before trading | For improved effectiveness when selling, pay attention to what can be crafted from raw materials and compare that with what the raw materials themselves will fetch. It is typically profitable to do a little crafting before trading (for example, a [[chest]] will usually sell for more than a block of [[wood]]), but some may actually be worth less than selling the components directly. Items that require components that can be crafted will have multiple equivalences. A good understanding of these values can be used to profit from crafting, even if the components need to be purchased. The changes in buy/sell valuations introduced in version 1.7 strongly affect this arrangement. | ||
A look at [[Trade Portal#Mined Materials|the above lists]] reveals it's possible to buy a replacement for the gem used to upgrade a trade portal. Obtaining the gem in the first place requires the same old exploration or meditation methods, though. | A look at [[Trade Portal#Mined Materials|the above lists]] reveals it's possible to buy a replacement for the gem used to upgrade a trade portal.

[[Meditate|Meditation]] and the introduction of the trade portal has left the terms "[[Renewable Resource|renewable]]" and "[[Nonrenewable Resource|nonrenewable]]" somewhat irrelevant in context of the game. | In a multiplayer world, if a different player's blockhead is using a trade portal, the owner of the portal can not pick it up until the current user finishes. So if one person is on the trade portal and then exits to the main menu, the owner can't pick it up. | ||
