Guide needed?

I'm dumb and I can't figure out the game's mechanics. Help

Tear gives you a pretty solid tutorial on how the mechanics work. The only thing she doesn't get right is the pricing data.

Depending on how hopeless your bargaining skills are you should try my cheat engine script. Details at link

If you need customer pricing data, you can find that all on the Recettear wikia. Up to you whether you want to use it or not.

Check out the Market Math guide for buy/sell percentages for each character. I suggest using the percentages in the first chart, personally. Your customers will level up super-fast that way.

Keep dungeon-crawling to a minimum. Maybe do it early on Day 2 to get Louie through the Hall of Trials, then maybe do it again sometime on Day 3 to unlock Charme (as a customer only at first) by finishing the Jady Way dungeon in one go. Louie's pretty solid for the earlier dungeons, but his budget is terrible (even at maximum), while Charme is actually a much better adventurer in most respects and a much more valuable customer (compared to Louie, anyway). These two visits to the dungeons should also give you a decent inventory early on.

I'd save the other adventurers for after you've paid of Recette's father's debt. It's a real pain having a new adventurer show up in the shop, as you'll have to stock cheaper items in order for them to buy anything, and you'll waste what could've been more valuable transactions on your more valuable customers who decide to buy the cheaper items due to the random nature of the game.

Once you've unlocked the ability to take orders, get a feel for your customers' spending limits based on the aforementioned chart and what they tend to pick out when they choose their own items, then exploit the hell out of them when they place orders. (You should still sell low at 105% of so in most cases. Just make sure that you're maximizing the cost of the items that you're selling while still remaining within the customers' budgets.)

Of course, you should also stock up on certain items when prices are low and focus on selling those items when prices are high.
