You can sell the items in your stall to make money, best way to get coins faster than truck orders. Unless you're going for xp and leveling fast.
Yeah, that's true. I guess it comes down to deciding what I want to make. I think I'm scared that I'll start making something I don't need for an order and then I'll end up needing something for an order that's on the same machine and I'll have to wait until it's done to start making it. I should probably just get over that, haha.
And yeah, I like completing the orders for the experience, and because I don't really have friends on Hay Day to buy anything I put up for sell unless it is through the newspaper.
