Running a tycoon in Sell Lemons means stepping on buttons to buy structures and income sources, and the bigger your base gets, the more time you waste sprinting between them. Remote Buy fixes that. Once you own this power, you can stand anywhere on the map and purchase your next available upgrade with a single tap.
Quick answer: Open the powers menu (the clipboard or green board icon at the top of the screen), find Remote Buy, and buy it for 459 Robux or 1 septillion investors. The investor route requires six evolutions first.
Remote Buy cost and requirements
There are two ways to unlock Remote Buy, and they sit at very different points in the game. The Robux purchase works at any time, even on a brand-new save. The free-to-play path is locked behind serious late-game progression, so most players reach it only after grinding rebirths and evolutions for a while.
| Path | Cost | Requirement |
|---|---|---|
| Robux | 459 Robux | Available immediately |
| Investors | 1 septillion investors | Six evolutions completed |
Note: Evolutions only become available after you reach 500 quadrillion investors, which unlocks the evolution menu. Each evolution gives an income speed boost but wipes most of your progress, including all your investors and powers, so plan around that reset.

Unlock Remote Buy with investors (free path)
If you would rather not spend Robux, you need 1 septillion investors and six completed evolutions. Investors come from rebirths, a mechanic that unlocks once the alien spaceship appears on your base. Each rebirth resets your tycoon but raises your investor count, which gives permanent money boosts.
How to use Remote Buy and confirm it worked
After unlocking the power, a new yellow BUY button appears at the bottom of the screen. That button is your confirmation that the purchase went through. Whenever an upgrade is available anywhere on your base, a prompt shows up and you can buy it from where you stand.
Tap the green BUY button to purchase the next available money-making option, and spam it to clear several upgrades in a row without walking to a single button. This is the main reason Remote Buy is so useful once you have multiple income sources running at the same time.
Other powers in Sell Lemons
Remote Buy is one of several powers you can buy with Cash or investors. Most have a starting price that rises with each upgrade, while a few are flat one-time purchases. Here is the full rundown.
| Power | Cost | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Manage | 100 investors or 95 Robux | Manage all income sources from one place |
| Run Faster | From 400 investors or 49 Robux | Increases your movement speed |
| Stack Upgrade | From 1,000 investors or 95 Robux | Upgrade an income source multiple times |
| Remote Buy | 1 septillion investors or 459 Robux | Buy upgrades remotely |
| Expert Picker | From 250 investors or 69 Robux | More money from picking fruits |
| Speed Up Time | 369 Robux | Permanently doubles income speed for all sources |
Whether you take the Robux shortcut or grind to six evolutions, Remote Buy pays off the moment your base gets large enough that walking to every button slows you down. Pair it with Manage and Stack Upgrade and you can keep your whole lemon empire growing without leaving one spot.
