...place a bid ticket order at a commodities market.

Most commodities are acquired by placing bid ticket orders at commodities markets.

1. A bid ticket may be placed from a ship, stall, shoppe, commodities market, fort, or palace at the island where the commodity spawns.

2. From the location the purchaser wishes to place the order, they must click the "View Marketplace" button. (The "Market Bidding" tab from the Manage the Shoppe radial menu if in a shoppe or stall.)

3. The purchaser then selects what commodity he wishes to bid on. The screen will reflect what the current bid price is and the volume currently in production at that price.

4. The purchaser now may enter the price he wishes to bid for the commodity and the volume he wishes to receive. The tax is automatically calculated and the total price for the bid is listed.

5. The purchaser may now "Place Bid" button and the order is placed. The bid ticket will go into the market tab of the ship, shoppe, or stall the purchaser is currently in. If he is in the marketplace, palace, or fort, it will be delivered into his booty.

Now you're set to bid on commodities and start your merchanting career!
