Bargain Hunter

Bargain Hunter puts you in the role of an aspiring trader trying to turn discarded finds into a fortune. You start with a few bucks, a shabby house and a rusty old car, then hunt for bargains to sell at auction. You can grow wealthy or go bankrupt.

Find and inspect bargains

Visit lawn sales, thrift stores, flea markets and antiques dealers, or search the beach with a metal detector. The items for sale range from teapots, teddy bears and vases to violins. Inspect each find for damage and hidden features, but pushing a seller too hard can anger them and ruin the deal.

You can haggle with the sellers, whose characters feature voice acting. When you are ready to sell, take your finds to the salerooms, where an auctioneer sells them to the highest bidder. A sale can bring a profit or a loss, and the valuer will reject junk.

Build your fortune

Bills can pile up if you make too many bad trades, putting bankruptcy close at hand. Successful deals let you improve your home, upgrade your car and buy increasingly expensive rarities.
