Traveling Salespeople (SoS)

In Story of Seasons, three traveling salespeople the player can meet will offer to sell them items. They will greet the player as they exit their house between 14:00 and 18:00 on sunny days beginning with Fall of Year 2. The three salespersons are Dmitri, Rainer, and Susanne; they will appear in order, rotating back to Dmitri.

When the player is greeted by a salesperson, they will see an introduction, the item name and quantity that is offered, then the total price. Some items they have can only be purchased once, such as blueprints or cooking recipes, but other ones are part of their stock inventory and can be offered any number of times.

The player can reject a salesperson's purchase without penalty. The next time the player receives a visit from that salesperson, they may be offered a new random item. A visit will happen once every 20 days, unless the visit conditions are not met on the 20th day, in that case the player will receive the visit the following day. Regardless of whether the item is purchased or not, the waiting period is reset to 20 days afterward.

The traveling salespeople's prices are not affected by the seedling mode's 30% discount bonuses.

Save Scumming for specific items
The traveler's sold item is set one day before the waiting period goes past 20 days. This means that the player can save on the 19th day, and check the item on the 20th. If the item desired does not show up, the save can be reloaded for a new item. If the save is made after the 20th day, the item will be set, and reloading the game will only change the quantity of the item being offered.
