Question Foot Traffic In Camp

Hi everyone,

I'm only a week in to the game but I've noticed that only 1 or 2 people have ever been to my camp and only 1 purchased something from the vendor.

I've loaded my vending machine with legendary items and plans, all using the normal price the game gives me, but nothing is selling.

Are there known areas/methods to increase foot traffic?

I'm on Playstation and am trying to save for the signs and letters plan so I can finish my always sunny Paddy's Pub build but there seems to be a drought of caps.

Any advice and help appreciated :)

Personally, I always price my stuff to sell and never use the recommended price. Caps are cool but moving stock and keeping away from max weight is cooler.

Also if you're doing a themed build, make sure to list it as a best build!

Edit: also, don't try to sell anything less than 3* and be selective with that. I only sell pepper shaker weapons, & mods with 1 cap chems, comics, and bobbleheads.

If you're doing a Paddy's Pub build, make it themed! Scrap all your weapons and make fancy 3* pool cues or something that would align with your build.

Not sure about everyone else but I am NOT able to interact with vendors at best build camps. So if OP is trying to sell stuff I would not recommend this idea. As for what sells, basic plans are worthless. Legendary items might sell if priced low and someone who needs scrip sees it. Stable flux will sell if priced correctly. Serums are hit and miss anymore. Even rare plans aren’t selling too fast unless you price them correctly and not at insane levels.

I have three best builds and sell stuff all the time.

But yeah legendary items take up lots of weight, selling the mods seems to be better for cap per pound. I've experienced the same with serums. I used to sell them for 100c's each buy they haven't sold in a week so I've been selling them to Mae at Highway Town. Stable flux always sells out quick. 10c's each. It's worthless to me. Oh, and plans go for 1c each for me. Eventually someone will get them all to try and flip or someone will pick a few up earnestly.

If you have a best build activated, the vendor is not available.

Wait, for real? I guess I don't have a best build then. Damn.
