Dragon Quest Builders 2 – FAQs – Why can't I sell items?
The first in a list of quick FAQ videos about the things we all get stuck on. Why can’t I sell items?
See below for a detailed description.
COMMON SOLUTION: Tables with price tags cannot be against a wall. The merchant must be able to stand in the block behind the price tag and the ‘customer’ must be able to stand on the block in front.
Item Shop recipe: 1 X Table (any) / 1 X Price Tag / 1 X Shop Sign / 2 X Crate (any)
Items can be sold without creating an item shop. If you have a merchant, a Table with a Price Tag and items available, villagers will still shop at the end of the day regardless. These items do not create a set but will function inside or outside a shop.
* To complete both related Tablet Targets you will need to sell 200 items in total.
* Items like books, farming/mining tools, plushies, cards and food sell quickly. Rotate items out if they are not selling.
* Generally, villagers will shop at the end of the day only. They will often shop at night of they have nothing else to do and will occasionally shop in the afternoon, but not in the morning.
* To speed up item sales, remove recreational rooms and sets that villagers would usually visit at night. Pubs and Spas will especially take away potential customers. Having a source of food and some toilets around the item shop area seem to increase the flow of item sales as villagers don’t stand around saying they are uncomfortable.

Selling items in this game has been a real bug-bear of mine, could never get it to work. Wasted countless hours. Your 1min 15 video assisted so much so thank you – liked and subscribed as a result

Thank you! I got all the way up to 30 items sold but now it stopped working 🙁
I don’t know what to do! It was working before, and then I got more merchants and made more shops and it stopped working. Then I got rid of them all and made them again, still didn’t help. I trapped everyone in the Sands area in a large living space with only bedrooms and shops and that didn’t work either. I’ll try adding lore toilets, showers, and food places within the living area so they stop complaining and see if that makes them buy stuff. I don’t know why it stopped working in the other area though when it got up to 30. I’m so upset, those are the only two Tablet Targets I have left and I really want to unlock the Buildnoculars & extra Builders islands :'(
I really hope it’s not a glitch cause then I’m screwed.

You answered my question of why isn’t my shop working so easily. They really should’ve said in the tutorial that they need space behind the items. Oh well. Thank you so much !!!
