Form both hands into flattened 'O' shapes, with your fingertips touching your thumbs. Hold both hands in front of your chest with the fingertips pointing down and slightly forward. Pivot your hands at the wrists, swinging the fingertips forward and back a couple of times.
To sign this, start by pointing to yourself for 'I', then sign 'NEED' with a hooked 'X' hand moving down. Sign 'GO' by pointing both index fingers forward, and finish with the repeated wrist-swinging motion for 'MARKET'.
Begin by signing 'FARMER' using the '5' handshape brushing across your chin, followed by the person marker. Then sign 'MARKET'. Finish by signing 'OPEN' with flat hands pulling apart, and 'TODAY' using 'Y' hands bouncing downward.
In ASL, you would structure this as 'MARKET, YOU BUY WHAT?'. Sign 'MARKET', point to the person for 'YOU', sign 'BUY' by handing over imaginary money, and sign 'WHAT' with open hands shaking slightly while furrowing your eyebrows.

Yes, in American Sign Language, the sign for 'market' and 'store' are exactly the same. Context within your sentence usually makes it clear which one you mean. If you specifically need to distinguish a market from a regular store, you can always fingerspell M-A-R-K-E-T.
Both signs use the exact same flattened 'O' handshape and location. However, 'market' (like 'store') uses a repeated, smaller swinging motion at the wrists because it is a noun. 'Sell' is a verb and typically uses a single, more outward and deliberate swinging motion.
No, your arms should stay mostly stationary in front of your chest. The swinging motion should come entirely from pivoting your wrists. Moving your whole arm makes the sign look overly large and unnatural, so focus on keeping the movement isolated to your hands and wrists.
