# Trade System
Crafting materials can be sold for a pre-defined amount of Gold within the trade system. This way, you are able to acquire more Gold to pay for the crafting fees of the recipes you would like to create.
You are also able to purchase crafting materials in the same trade system for a pre-defined value per material type and quality tier. Be aware that purchasing materials will always cost more Gold than what the material is selling for.
Currently, the trade system allows you to trade to the system, and a community driven trade option will be added to ZTX at a later point.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.ztx.io/ztx/gameplay/game-economy/trade-system.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
