Buy the Shop

Probably Stolen Buy the Shop: Rent and Ownership

Plan the Probably Stolen shop buyout around rent, available cash and the landlord. Check documented win conditions without relying on invented price targets.

Quick answer

For an outright shop buyout, save against the deed price displayed in your current run and wait for the landlord's Sunday rent visit. Recheck the price before committing because recorded runs show it rising above earlier targets. Buying and signing the deed completes the ownership objective and removes rent in the recorded endings.

Save for the displayed deed price

Use the purchase amount shown in your current run, not a fixed credit target from somebody else's playthrough. Two separate recordings show the property price above an earlier expectation, so the amount you first planned around may no longer be sufficient. Keep checking the actual offer as you approach the purchase. Buyout guidance · First price increase, 1:28:48 · Second price increase, 21:13–21:18

Rent still matters while you are saving. The official description warns that rent keeps rising, and the buyout guide recommends covering regular expenses alongside the ownership fund. Treat money needed for the next payment as committed rather than automatically available for another purchase. Official rent warning · Expense planning

Complete the outright-buyout sequence

  1. Read the current deed price in your run.
  2. Save toward that amount while keeping regular expenses covered.
  3. Wait for the landlord's Sunday rent visit.
  4. Recheck the purchase amount offered at that visit.
  5. Complete the purchase and sign the deed when the displayed price is affordable.

Both buyout guides place the outright purchase at the landlord's Sunday rent event. Reaching a savings target on another day is therefore not the same as reaching the documented purchase opportunity. Sunday timing · Landlord-visit confirmation

Know what changes after signing

The recorded endings state that signing the deed removes the burden of rent. The written guide identifies buying the store as the main victory objective in the standard game mode. That gives you a concrete endpoint for this route: the completed deed, not merely holding enough money to buy it. First deed ending, 1:29:52 · Second deed ending, 21:18 · Ownership objective

Merchant visits are a separate matter from rent removal. Hotfix 1.0.0.5 says the Merchant continues visiting every Sunday after you buy the store. Do not interpret the end of rent as a rule that all Sunday visits stop. Official post-purchase change · Patch-history summary

Questions before the purchase

Can I buy immediately after earning enough money?

The documented outright-buyout opportunity is the landlord's Sunday rent visit. Having enough money is the financial condition to prepare for, but it does not replace that timing condition. Check the offer again when the visit occurs. Timing guidance · Separate confirmation

Is a recorded purchase price a reliable target for my run?

No universal target follows from those examples. The recordings show that a price can rise above the player's earlier expectation, and the written guide specifically advises using the displayed amount. Save against your own offer rather than treating a video number as a game-wide requirement. Displayed-price advice · Recorded recheck, 21:13

Should I spend the rent reserve on equipment first?

The supported planning priority is to cover regular expenses while building the buyout fund. Compare an equipment purchase against those commitments before spending. For the earlier trading and purchasing routine, return to the beginner guide. Expense guidance
