I know that the flea market is suppose to update about every 6 to 8 hours of game on or off time.

However it has been 48 hours now and I still have a blank flea market as I bought everything in it.

Is there something I can do to fix this?

Thank you everyone for your help
Norma

Hey Normaa!

I'm really sorry you're having problems with the game, and I'd like to ask you a few questions.

Has it been 48 hours since the first purchase you made in the flea market or since the last purchase you made?

Could something have happened that changed the clock settings on your device?

Let me know! smile

Hi Xay,

Yes I did reset the time on my phone and I did all of the resets and every idea I have found on here for other glinches. frown
I went to the apple site and did all of the fixes there as well.

yes is has been 72 hours now since last purchase. It does not update.

Sadly, I am thinking I may have to delete and re-install. Unless you know of a different trick.

Thank you for everything
Norma

The time reset is likely what caused the problem. As stated near the top of this post, changing the clock on your device can be harmful to both the app & the device itself.

There are a couple of ways to resolve the problem: If you are still in the first generation and want to "start over", you can evict your family without affecting in-app purchases and game progress. That may force your Flea Market to restock, although it is not guaranteed. Otherwise, you will need to wait until the time issue resolves itself. Pausing the game may ease the wait time.

Please note that if you have purchased any coins, you should definitely not delete and reinstall the game in an attempt to resolve a problem with the game. Doing so will cause you to lose all of your purchased coins, and we have no method of restoring those purchases, due to how Apple's In-App purchase system operates.

Mine only updates once every 24 hrs. I have not changed the time on my device. I don't mess around with that.

Is there a trick to forcing it? I can't evict.

There is no way to force the flea market to stock, unfortunately. Are you positive that it only stocks every 24 hours? We have not seen this on our test devices, and our testing shows that the stock rotates on time every 6-8 hours.

I started taking screen shots, my bad, it does change. Some items repeat and I think that was throwing me off. Sorry.

Yep! On the third Generation now. I have the original game and have lost track of which generation it is on there, however, I do have several trillion dollars in it!!
