In order for exchanges to take place it is obvious that some items for sale are necessary. This part of the manual will cover this topic. It will go through the process of putting planets and fleets on sale, be it publicly or privately, going through the offers you're making or have already made and making gifts.

In order to put an item on sale, you first of all have to choose the item. The process is a bit different depending on the type of item you want to sell:<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>Planets: on the individual page of each planet, a Sell/Give link is displayed below the planet name among other action links. Clicking on this link directs you to the planet sale page</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Fleets: on the Fleets page, once you have selected the fleet with corresponding checkbox, a Sell link appears among the other action links. Clicking on the link directs you the fleets selling page. It is also possible to sell a fleet bundled with a planet. This topic will be covered along with planets sales</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>

<section id="sell_put_pla" title="Selling a planet">
|

|
|
<section id="sell_put_pla_intro" title="Introduction">
|
||
|
|
Once you have clicked on the Sell/Give link of a planet you get directed to a special page with similar items with the individual planet page. This page is split into four sections:<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>Top planet section</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Planet Overview</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Give / Sale Planet</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Bundled Fleets</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
The next paragraphs will go through the different sections and their role in the sale process.
|
||
|
|
</section>
|
||
|
|
<section id="sell_put_pla_top" title="Top planet section">
|
||
|
|
This part of the page is almost the same as for the individual planet page. See this section of the manual for more details. The only difference stands with the planetary control links below the planet name. There are only two sale related links:<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>Confirm Sale: once you are statisfied with the choices you've made in the sale form, click on the link to confirm the sale and make it "official". Clicking the link will open a confirmation alert window where you have to confirm again in order to validate the sale offer</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Cancel: click on this link to remove all changes you've made to the form and go back to the individual planet page of the planet</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|

<section id="sell_put_pla_over" title="Planet overview">

When putting a planet for sell or offering a planet as a gift you have the possibility to also offer the fleets orbiting the planet. The price for the planet then correspond to a bundle price for both the fleet and the planet. That's what this section of the manual is all about.
|
||
|
|
<br/>
|
||
|
|
This part of the page provides a list of all fleets you own that are orbiting the planet. This list includes the following fields:<ul>

|

|

|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
In front of each fleet there is a checkbox. Checking the checkbox selects the fleet as having to be sold or given along with the planet.
