Grab Mart Help

What is the Grab Mart?

The Grab Mart is a fun place to use your Grabbles here at Grab.com. It's a virtual store, stocked with everything from flowers to spaceships, from cars to birds, and from posters to houses.

Everything you get at the Grab Mart is digital -- there's a virtual goods, not real ones! You earn Grabbles all around the site by playing games, answering trivia, winning tournaments, and more -- and then you come to the Grab Mart to get great stuff in exchange for those Grabbles.

Do I get to keep the items I acquire forever?

That depends! Some items, like a poster or a piece of furniture, will last forever. You dish out, say, 5,000 Grabbles for a sweet new car, and it's yours forever. But take note -- items that last forever may be in limited supply! Any item that lasts forever will have some finite quantity. For example, we might only ever offer 100 of a particular item. So check the Grab Mart frequently, and snag the cool stuff quick!

The other type of item offered in the Grab Mart is offered in unlimited supply... But, these items -- like flowers, plants, or food -- will expire. You may get a bouquet of daisies that lasts for a few weeks, but then it will expire and longer be part of your profile.

Once I have items, then what?

Once you've got the goods, you'll want to decorate your space! Head over to the "My Items" page, and you'll see all the stuff you've ever gotten from the Grab Mart. At first, everything you get will be found in the "holding bin" at the top of the page. You can drag items down from the holding bin to place them on the main portion of the page. Once you've placed an item, you can adjust its size, its location, and even its rotation just by using your mouse. To scale or rotate an item, click on or just above one of the four corners that border any item you've clicked on.
You can also change the background of your My Items page by using the menu on the upper right.
Your layout for your My Items page is saved about once a minute. To make sure you don't lose any changes, make sure to click the "save" button at the top before you navigate away from the page.

Can I give items as a gift?

Yup! Just find the item, and then when you choose to "get" the item, click the checkbox to indicate that it's a gift. Then, just type in the recipient's username, and your gift is on its way!

Where can I find the VIP Grab Mart items?

VIPs have access to exclusive Grab Mart items! Go to the Grab Mart and look under Premium Items. VIPs can even gift their non-VIP friends these exclusive items.

What browser should I use?
For the best experience with all the components of the Grab Mart, we recommend you use IE 6, Firefox 1.0+, or Safari. Any browser that supports Flash should work fairly well, though!
