Trivia

 * A glitch can occur with Redd's tent on Sale Day. If the player buys all three items and leaves the acre, then returns, the tent is replaced by a sign post. Redd can then be found standing in front of a random sign post and if spoken to, will walk into the sign post and disappear as if he is walking into the tent. Afterward, Redd will reappear in front of another sign and the process can be repeated until the end of the day.
