You breader not!

[Mark Watton]

I severely overestimated how much bread I could sell to traders... The only one buying was the treasure hunter, and I only got 8 gears and had to eat the other 2 stacks of bread I made.

yeah they have a limit they can buy at once. not to worry, they will reset after a time and will want to buy something new.

What I like to do is do a trade run week.

Take a stack of flour of each type of bread they buy, and bring an oven with you. Bake it on site at each trader so it's nice and fresh.

Want to get really fancy, make a little shack with cellar with raw materials of things they like to buy. Restock during each trade run week.

That rotting bread turns into good compost.

But it does make a humorous story for a certain thread.

Yes, I call it shopping spree. Elk's bags full of bronze tool heads of all kinds (they are conveniently stackable), several stacks of leather and flax twine. When fancy, then also black leather, blue and brown linen. Clay, if in abundance. And all sellable stuff I just gathered, like aged crates, gemstones, clothes from ruins, whatever. Then, running around my 5-8 trusted traders in the neighborhood during two days. You can make desired tools and clothes/boots/aprons/linen sacks on demand. I do not bother with bread except I am sure that nearest traders will accept it. 

However, I usually do not return richer, as my bags are full of chandeliers, wallpapers and fancy stuff when I return.

Oh yeah that is the way to do it. Just bring sticks and tool heads to keep that inventory space nice. 

It's nicer if you are playing with oceans and can sail like a Phoenician trader, but the elk is a godsend to make this really viable. Gives you a reason to build little outposts near each trader.

Pickled cabbage and salted meat comes in handy keeping those places stocked with food. Leave a barrel of wine for the weary traveler.

Yep definitely the way to go rather than just stockpiling tools, I usually spend a few days in Fall and Spring exploring ruins for things to sell to traders (Better Ruins makes this a lot more fun as does playing malefactor since you can sell cracked vessels). Depending upon your class, might also be a good time in winter to use up whatever excess leather, twine, etc.. you might have for trading. As for buying, I can't resist buying more sleek doors, paintings, and wallpaper, makes your home a little more "homey" I suppose....

[Maelstrom]

The real money is buying cracked vessels from the treasure hunter and selling them to the commodities trader.  With favorable buy/sell pricing one can fetch 10 or more gears per vessel!  Then there's always the wolf pup trafficking ring too.  Best money is selling reindeer herder clothing though.

leave him alone. He's having fun. Remember when you used to have fun and people came in and stepped all over your sand castle and it made you feel bad?
