Can't increase the number of items to sell bug

Even after purchasing the upgrade, there isn't an option to increase the number of items you can sell at once.

Good idea but not good game

The whole purpose and idea of the game is good but its literally impossible to make it pass like $500 and unrealistic when it comes to making money

Bad game

I got so much in debt (quadrillions) that the game crashed and won’t open ANYMORE. SO PLEASE FIX YOUR GAME.
