GritBay is strictly a player-to-player market. No NPC stocks it, and no NPC buys from it. The game’s own shops, rent payments, and property deeds are always settled in CASH outside of GritBay entirely. How currencies work →
Two currencies, your choice
When you list on GritBay you choose which currency you want to receive. Both are valid for any item — the currency is your call as the seller, not a property of the good itself.CASH listings
Fast, low-friction, and effectively fee-free for most transactions. The default for everyday goods — raw resources, food, ammo, common tools, and basic gear. If you want quick sales, list in CASH.
$GRIT listings
Settled securely with a small fee applied. The preferred currency for high-value trades — rare items, large bulk deals, cosmetics, and anything you want to price in stable terms. Also the mechanism that connects CASH earnings to value outside the game.
The same item can appear in both currencies at once — different sellers make different calls. A rare jacket might go for CASH from one player and $GRIT from another. Always check both when you are buying; one might be the better deal.
Selling
Open GritBay and create your listing
Tap the GritBay app on your phone, select the item or currency you want to sell, set your asking price, and choose whether you want CASH or $GRIT in return. Double-check current prices on the hub board before you commit to a number.
Wait for a buyer
Your listing is live for all players to see. Price it accurately and it will move. Price it too high and it sits — GritBay shows you comparable sold prices so you can adjust.
Buying
Search for what you need, compare prices across listings, and buy. Check both currencies before committing — the same item sometimes lists cheaper in one over the other. The Hub’s live board highlights high-demand goods and recent sale prices, which gives you a fast read on whether a listing is fair.GritBay is also how CASH and GRIT — or $GRIT for CASH — and other players will buy it at the going market rate. This is the mechanism that connects your in-game earnings to value outside Gritlands. Currency exchange explained →
Smart selling tips
Raw materials or finished goods?
Raw materials or finished goods?
Raw materials always have a guaranteed buyer at the Fence, which sets your price floor. But crafting those materials into finished goods — ammo, food, medicine, upgraded tools — typically earns far more on GritBay because players pay a premium for convenience. Use the Fence as insurance; use GritBay as your upside. Crafting →
What sells reliably every day?
What sells reliably every day?
Consumables. Ammo, food, and healing items get used up in every play session, which means demand never dries up. These are not glamorous goods, but they are the engine of a steady GritBay income. If you want predictable sales, learn to produce consumables in volume.
What about rare cosmetics and collectibles?
What about rare cosmetics and collectibles?
Rare clothing, tattoos, and jewellery hold value well and attract serious buyers — often paying in $GRIT since that is where high-value trades tend to happen. If you pull something rare from a drop or a zone, do not reflexively sell it cheap. Check what similar items have sold for and price accordingly; a collector might pay significantly more than you expect.
How do I avoid mispricing?
How do I avoid mispricing?
Check the sold-price history before you list, not just current asking prices. Players sometimes list things aspirationally high; what actually clears is what tells you the real market rate. Undercutting the lowest live listing by a small amount moves goods quickly without leaving money on the table.
