i don't like the idea because there might be some users who r saving up to purchase the items they want. even if the items sit in the pawn shop for ages, it doesn't mean it will never get bought. there r always new users and some returning old users who may be interested as well. it's better to have ppl who want the item get the item due to the availability of CWs on this site.

a possible solution would be to give out more CSC cards in the free shop so more users who normally cannot afford CWs can afford to buy them.

I completely disagree with this. This being like that horrible Summer Raffle that a horrible taste in our mouths, and people got items (including CWs) they didn't want. They'll just end up pawning those CWs again, because it's not the right color, not the right style, etc. I like lots of other people would like a fair chance getting some of the CWs that we couldn't buy at the time for one reason or another.

And what's it to someone if it's an old unwanted CW from years past or it's badly dated. Someone might see it as the perfect item for their pet's TC. I have a couple of CWs in one of my pet's TC.

I also disagree for a number of reasons:

1. there is no need to empty the pawn shop. Unless it's putting a massive data strain on the servers, which I doubt it is, there is no reason for it to be empty

2. staff have opened the pawn shop a number of times in the past so if you don't have the CSC for something now, you can buy it next time it opens and we are all given advance notice. Everything in there is also already at affordable prices.

3. if you empty it, there will be less items for people to browse through, meaning less chances of you getting an item on your WL and less chances of finding new items for cheap you didn't know existed

4. you don't know what you get in the free shop. So you could still get a CW you don't want and pawn it. Like others have said, this puts you back at the same problem of hundreds of items in the pawn shop, only now hundreds of CSC has been generated into the market.

5. people like myself that don't buy CSC with real money can buy CSC with sP, get Morty cards from quests and visit the bath house. You don't have to pay to play to get CSC but you do have to play on the site.

This is a solution in search of a problem. No Support.

I think its a lovely idea but since it is kinda a worry if people would repawn, maybe users could get a voucher for ONE item in the cw pawn shop and it has a lock on it to that account for a period of time? I think it would be cool to give people without much access a shot at say, grabbing a hair they really enjoy and actually want

Terrible idea, CW pawn shop needs to stay full to make it fun to shop at.

Maybe prices could be lower for items that it seems have been in a long time?

I don't see any reason why the Pawn Shop needs to be emptied? How would that benefit anyone?

This was the first time I've ever been able to participate in the shop opening and I was very excited to find a number of great items at a super affordable price. The large variety of items made it worth it for me to buy CSC with real money.

One of my favorite items was a random background I'd never seen before. Its so old it has a HA cutout and the art style is absolutely not what's currently popular. I wouldn't be surprised if its been in the shop for ages. Most people wouldn't buy it. If the Pawn Shop had been wiped for no reason, I would never have been able to buy that background.

The site makes a lot of money when the CW pawn shop is open. They'd be shooting themselves in the foot.

As much as I would love this, I can't see it being good for the economy? Granted, I do think the pawn shop needs to be open more often but that's another topic entirely. It's a good thought, tho.

All the arguments against are good, but there is also the fact to remember that CWs are made by the users of the site themselves, not by Subeta artists/volunteers who create the bulk of the items on the site. That in and of itself would preclude any CW from going into the Free Shop in the first place. The Free Shop has (since its creation) has only put in items created by the Subeta team.

Further, even if the suggestion was even somewhat entertained (which is highly unlikely) by the Subeta team to make such an exception, the creators of these CWs would have to agree to it also, and with some of the creators not on the site any longer, it's unlikely to have such unilateral agreement. For those creators still on the site, it would be a loss of CSC to them, and most would be extremely unlikely to want to take that loss.

It's not wrong to have such an idea, but as SolsticeSprite said, it's a solution in search of a problem. A better idea would be as others have suggested, more CSC cards being put in the Free Shop or even the voucher for one free CW when the shop opens. Either of those would be more likely to be accepted by the majority.

True, but it's still the SubetaTeam that would have to put them in. And like I said, since they did belong to other users and aren't official site items, it's not very likely they'll do that.

I would only support this under these conditions:

• Extremely old or overstocked CWs in there.
• Only max 1/2 released in FS
• The item is non transferable like loyalty tokens, you can only use it somehow or delete it, but not sell.

I think just discounting the CWs that haven't moved in months to years would be a fair solution. I'm sure there are users who would buy them if they were cheaper. Maybe knock the price down by 10% each time an item doesn't sell when the shop opens? Showing the original price may even entice people to buy a discounted item if they see exactly what sort of deal they're getting, i.e. 500 CSC 400 CSC, for an item that hasn't sold in three cycles (if my math is correct. I'm tired today lol).
