Very good, was able to find most of it before even going to the shop. Too bad that Puny Carrot is so hard to get if conditions aren't perfect.

I'm not getting what you are asking. All you need to do is collect these achievements

I've collected all the items. Now what? It didn't give me the achievement. Do I have to get all the towns to the proper economy rating too?

economy rating is a rating that all items in Fable II have, all items have stars on them that shows what economy rating they have. This shows what the quality is on the item. You can't change this, a specific item will always have a specific quality.

Since you copied everything else, why not the part that says you need to finish the three main quests before you have access to all packages you can trade for?

So, for anyone wondering why the achievement doesnt pop after you buy all available packages, that wasnt all of them. Get the weather under control and go back to find more stuff to trade for.

Update to previous post:

Just got the achievement and i have completed the first two of 3 quests.

As for people having trouble finding puny carrots, i had trouble too until i went to bloodstone waterfront. The produce merchant here had it in stock consistently for me.

For Murgo's book, if you're having trouble buying it like I was, set the book store to 100% and sleep for a week

I was working on this recently, and the town's economy that you buy from (produce/food) stores has to be 2 or less stars... Maybe three, but I did it in Castle Fairfax (because all other regions were 4 star or higher.

I couldn't find Marriage and How to Survive it at the bookstore, but, peculiarly, it was at the jewelry store in Bowerstone Market.

I also had trouble getting the Regal Purple Dye. I used this guide to locate a guaranteed dye: http://fable.wikia.com/wiki/Regal_Purple_Dye. You must have the other DLC at least partially completed so you can enter the snow globe.

Ok so the free DLC doesn't let you do the quests, which suck can I play as a henchmen for someone's game and gain the achievements that way or no?

Do you have to have all the items at one time? Because I just need "Pure Experience Extract" and "Murgo’s Big Book of Trading" those two I'm having trouble finding. I have everything else expect for diamond(I just hav to save up money)

For anyone having a hard time getting the right books, try buying the bookstore in Bowerstone Market. You can set the prices up ridiculously high, which may or may not have an effect, but you can also go around the store checking the bookcases until you get the one you need. I couldn't get a second copy of Murgo's Big Book of Trading or Marriage and How to Survive It until I did this. Just go to another region, sleep for seven days, and then return to try again.

Some tips from getting the books and pure experience extract and purple regal dye.

TLDR; you must have completed the Spire quest in the main story before you can attempt getting all the items for this achievement.

I was at the point in the story of just having completed the crucible and the next quest was going to the Spire.

You CANNOT get a pure experience extract from the bowerstone market shop before completing the Spire. I had bowerstone market and the fairfax gardens both at a 5 star economy and probably did 100 7 day skips trying to get the potion to appear. I gave up and did the Spire quest, the day i got back, the potion was in the bowerstone market shop. This basically confirms to me that this potion is gated by the story (unless you get lucky digging it up).

I was able to get both the regal dye (from fairfax garden traders at 5 star economy) and 2x big book of trading (bowerstone market book store) BEFORE i completed the Spire, and after the crucible in the story. By 7 day skipping at the inn.

I tried all the above solutions for finding the two puny carrots and neither worked for me but they might work for you. I found a much quicker way and that was to travel to bloodstone and head up the staircase up to the third tier and on the right hand side just a bit past the middle of the area is a vegetable salesman who has one for sale. All you got to do is buy that one sleep at the hotel for a week and go back to buy your second carrot and your done. I hope this helps anyone having trouble.

You should be able to buy this in Bowerstone Market as long as the economy is low. Once the economy of a town reaches a certain point they will no longer sell this item.

If anyone is a bit stuck of finding 2 Puny Carrots, there are a few Puny Carrots in the Rabbit Hole in the Cursed Skull.

Heres a video guide of how to get inside the Rabbit Hole.

I also like to thank the YouTube user for uploading their video.

Before you give me a negative vote, please explain yourself why you did it and I will be more than happy to improve my solution. Thank You.

Not much but for the Regal Purple Dye that people are saying they are having a hard time with, I got it while hunting around in the Snowglobe. It was inside one of the houses if I rember correctly in a chest.

I was following the ach guide to get "The Colourist" and ran across it. Hope it helps you all out.
