+Buy Sell Ink is a simple game written in C for fun and to learn programming. 
+It is a game about buying and selling items to customers, with the goal of getting the best score at the end.
+
+How it works:
+
+Customers request an item and offer you gold for it
+Have it? You can accept this deal or try to negotiate a better price. 
+If you are successful at negotiating you get 2 point. Lose the negotiation howver and lose a point. Accept the deal without negotiating awards 1 point.
+Don't have it? Buy it. You buy items at half the price.
+
+But be careful. Items 7-9 (Ink, Weed and Crypto) are illegal! Sell them and the police will get suspicous. If you keep it up you might get arrested and give a hefty fine, unless...
+Illegal items are very negotiable in their price making them much more profitable. Sometimes they may be worth the risk.
+
+The game ends after your selected number of turns expires and you get a score. Try to get the best score possible. 
+The game could also end if you are out of money. You get 1 turn to try and sell your inventory if that's the case, otherwise game over!
+
+The game can simply be compiled with gcc "gcc main.c" and is played on the terminal.
