About
EVERY ITEM HAS A STORY. SOME COME WITH A PRICE.
How Much For It? is a shop management simulation that combines negotiation, item inspection, customer interaction, and atmospheric horror as you run a mysterious second-hand store.
Inspect the items your customers bring in, question their stories, determine their value, and make your own offer.
But be careful.
Not every customer tells the truth. And not every item is as harmless as it seems.
INSPECT THE ITEMS
Every item has its own history, value, and secrets waiting to be uncovered.
Examine the details, compare what you find with the customer's story, and look for clues that might otherwise go unnoticed.
A small detail can reveal both the item's true value and just how honest the person standing in front of you really is.
READ YOUR CUSTOMERS
Some customers may exaggerate what their item is worth. Others may hide important details—or tell you a completely different story altogether.
Listen carefully. Watch their behavior, reactions, and inconsistencies in what they tell you.
If the evidence doesn't match their story, you'll have to decide:
Are they bluffing? Are they hiding something? Or did you get it wrong?
NEGOTIATE
You decide the price.
Make your offer, watch the customer's reaction, and try to turn the deal in your favor.
Every customer has a different personality and level of patience. Push the price too low or drag the negotiation on for too long, and they may simply take their item and leave.
Knowing how far you can push each customer is an important part of making a good deal.
UNCOVER THE TRUTH
You don't have to take the customer's word for it.
As you upgrade your shop, unlock scales, UV lights, and other inspection tools.
Check an item's weight, reveal hidden marks, and compare what you discover with the customer's claims.
The more information you uncover, the better you'll understand the item's true value—and the story behind it.
UPGRADE YOUR SHOP
Invest the money you earn back into your business.
Purchase new equipment, improve your inspection methods, and uncover details you couldn't detect before.
Better tools mean more information. More information means better decisions.
FACE THE CONSEQUENCES OF CURSED ITEMS
Some items are more than just old.
Some are cursed.
When you purchase a cursed item, its story doesn't end at the counter. Depending on the curse it carries, supernatural events and environmental changes may begin to affect your shop.
Fog, strange sounds, flickering lights, and unexplained events can completely change the course of the night.
A deal that looks profitable may bring something far darker than money into your shop.
