Cast a Magnet Selling and Base Displays: How to Maximize Cash
In Cast a Magnet, sell ordinary finds through the Sell menu for Cash and consider placing exceptional treasures on your base pedestals. Checking your item weight, rarity, and current Market options before clearing your inventory can help you avoid accidentally selling a showcase catch.
Using the SELL Stall and Top Shortcut
You can open the sales interface either by walking up to the green SELL stall in the world or by clicking the SELL shortcut button at the top of the screen. Inside the Sell window, your recovered items appear as individual cards showing your catches. The menu includes affordances for Market, Sell Selected, and Sell All so you can manage single items or clear bulk hauls. Because the market multiplier shown on screen may change, review the window details before pressing Sell All.
Deciding What to Sell vs. Keep
Official game details confirm that heavier items are worth more Cash and better Luck leads to rarer finds. Consider selling common, lighter items first through Sell Selected so you can fund immediate Rope Length, Reel Power, or Luck levels. When you hook a high-rarity catch, such as an Abyssal item or a treasure with the Charged mutation from a thunderstorm, hold off on selling it immediately. Keeping your best pulls lets you use them at your base instead of taking a one-time payout.
Earning Visitor Cash with Base Displays
Your base includes display pedestals where you can showcase your best recovered items. In the official gameplay trailer, NPC visitors walk up to these pedestals and pay Cash to view the displayed treasure. Displayed catches can earn visitor Cash, as shown in the trailer. Exact visitor payout rates and cooldowns are not specified in official materials, so rotate your rarest finds onto your pedestals as your collection improves.
