About Dealer's Life
Dealer's Life is a tycoon game where you manage your pawn shop. Haggle with infinite randomly generated customers to buy and sell whatever items you can manage to score and offer! Have fun for hours and use all your negotiation, psychology, and management skills to create your pawn empire! Thanks to procedural generation, special characters, and random events, you’ll never know what’s coming next!
Negotiate like never before with our Trade Engine!
Getting to know your customers is the key to skyrocketing your activity, and personal relations are also quite unpredictable…In Dealer’s Life, you will meet thousands of unique customers, with ever-changing behaviors and traits: they all act differently during negotiations according to their specific psychological traits, which are reflected in their appearance. Thanks to our Trading Engine, all the exchanges you will have with your clients will vary. Based on your input, the NPCs will react in a wide range of manners: they can choose to make a counter offer, accept your proposal, reject the negotiation and go away, get angry with the player for his ridiculous offer, impose a final offer without further negotiation... and all of these reactions depend on the offer made by the player to the perceived value of the item, along with all the specific combination of psychological traits of the customer.And that’s not all! The Trade Engine includes another peculiar aspect: we mentioned the "perceived value" because in Dealer’s Life, the goods’ real value is never shown anywhere. It’s up to you and your client, based on your Competence skill, to estimate the value of an object. No in-game guides or tutorials, just your instinct will bring success in your negotiations!Improve your skills to manage exchanges your way!
In Dealer’s Life, your character will have various skills that will drastically shift your gameplay experience. Getting more experience to spot counterfeit items and a keen eye for goods with potential will make you a smarter negotiator who won’t only save some bucks, but also make a fortune thanks to your experience!Talking of your contracting traits, you can also improve and gain other psychological abilities that will guarantee you the upper hand during negotiations: persuade your customer to get a better deal or convince them to sell out a precious item they know nothing about just for a better price.The dealers’ world is ruthless; only the most cunning will thrive!Reputation is everything for a Dealer
During your dealer’s adventure, you may encounter random events that could also be influenced by the reputation you built, leading to different situations and scenarios that will track down that time you didn’t prove yourself capable of spotting a fake item, or when you decided to scam that one random guy… Which was later revealed to be a buddy of the local mafia.Making more money will always come with some risks and consequences dictated by the integrity of your choices. Maybe the best skill a dealer can have is recognizing when to be cunning or a perfectly law-abiding entrepreneur.What Steam players say

Very good
It is a good game, but aged poorly. Get it on a huge sale. 5.5/10.
Really bad because most of the time the customers won't buy your items and you lose the round for no reason
Dealer’s Life is a surprisingly addictive pawn shop management simulator that transforms the simple act of buying and selling secondhand items into a tense psychological game filled with negotiation, risk management, and unpredictable customer interactions. While the premise initially sounds straightforward, the game quickly reveals a remarkable amount of depth beneath its comedic presentation. Every customer interaction becomes a battle of instinct and strategy where reading personalities, estimating value, and knowing when to push negotiations can mean the difference between building a thriving business or collapsing into debt. The gameplay centers around operating a pawn shop where customers arrive carrying all kinds of objects, ranging from worthless junk to valuable collectibles and rare artifacts. Instead of immediately revealing an item’s exact value, the game forces players to make educated guesses based on experience, upgrades, and observation. This simple mechanic creates constant tension because every purchase involves risk. Paying too much for an item can damage profits, while offering too little may cause customers to walk away with potentially valuable merchandise. T…
Played this a lot on my phone, super fun game. Saw there were some sequels to check out also, but got stuck playing the old one :p
Random events and being forced into MINUS balance ruins the fun. Game also doesn't tell you at any point that if you go minus balance 3 times no matter how you went minus the game ends// eventually you will lose all your progress and be sent back to the main screen with a "New Game" option.
