Dollar Bazaars and $1 Sales

Listing an item in your bazaar for exactly $1 triggers Torn’s $1 lock. Only some buyers can purchase that row; access is tied to the buyer’s Torn ID. Rough community estimate: about 1%-10% of players can buy each $1 listing. $1 rows do not appear on the Item Market. Hunt them on Dollar Bazaars or by opening live bazaars.

• Price must be exactly $1. Other cheap prices do not use this lock.
• Eligibility is tied to the buyer’s Torn ID. A red lock on your screen means that listing is not for you.
• When it is open for you, it is locked for most other players.
• Listings are bazaar-only (not on IM).
• On stackables, if the lock opens for you, you can buy the whole stack, but some sellers may frown on this.

1. Open Dollar Bazaars. It aggregates all open $1 listings.
2. Open the live bazaar from the row. A red lock in Torn does not mean the bazaar is closed; it means that $1 seat is not for your ID.
3. If the lock is open for you, just buy it immediately. Sometimes these deals go fast.

Once the bazaar is open, anyone who can unlock the $1 row can buy it, and can also buy your other stock at listed prices. The lock applies when the item is added at $1; do not list until you are ready for that traffic.

• Do not open the bazaar until the $1 row and the rest of your prices are intentional.
• For stackables, list only a few units at $1.
• Use $1 as a magnet; price everything else like a normal trader (How to trade → pricing).
• Self-hosp if the rest of your stock or expected cash is large (How to trade → self-hosp).

1. Bookmark Dollar Bazaars and open the live bazaar before every buy.
2. Treat a red lock as “not for your ID,” not as a broken page.
3. If you list $1 yourself: tiny stackable qty, full prices on the rest, hosp if cash risk is real.
