4 Annoying Updates of the Global Trade HQ and 2020 Tips to Succeed!

Item Already Sold? You're too Slow!

Since the launch of SimCity BuildIt there has been one standout feature that has provided the most annoyance and frustration and that is the Global Trade HQ. Here are some of the top annoyances along with 2020 tips to succeed the best you can against a flawed and overloaded system:

1) Timelock Features vs Refresh

 The most major recent change has been with the way EA has reformatted the bidding system, Before I was easily able to purchase a range of expansion, storage and other key items under maximum cost which allowed me the choice to use it or simply flip it for cash in the early stages when it is at a low.

What the Timelock has appeared to do is limit the amount of items you can look for and their compromise is the 30 second Refresh button.

In this case all it has done is pushed up prices and decreased regular availability. I can still buy and sell but now at many more times of the day it is just impossible to get what I need, not matter how long I try.

Save and Win But Don't Pay for SimCash (SimCity Buildit's Freemium Currency)!

When SimCity BuildIt was announced as a Freemium mobile app there were a lot of groans and disappointment among long time fans but while it does change the essence of the gameplay the app remains immensely popular among new and old fans alike for the simple reason that it is playable without much need for the Freemium SimCash currency.
