This has been a long-lasting source of rage for me, but now with the Pawn Shop reaching a massive 34 pages I think it's time to pester again to have something done with it.
Please can it be separated out into either price or layer (or both if you wanna go nuts and make my dreams come true)?
There are so many nice items in there and it's so difficult to look through - it's like if every item released by the cash shop ever was just mashed into one shop. It's a mess. CWs are expensive and by not letting us browse this shop easily it's wasting what could be a really good sink of CSC for the site, as well as making it difficult to sell CWs to other users.

this was something i never knew i wanted but must now have

I myself suggested separating it into layers a while back. I am all for separating the PS into layers as it'd be so much more convenient not only for shopping, but just seeing what layer items are in there period instead of having to sift through pages of the PS.
I'd also like to see items listed by price within each layer section from highest to lowest. It's like that now but it's not consistent. It'd be nice to see a consistent graduated price drop instead of most things that are the lowest price being on the last few pages but mixed in with some middle-to-full priced items in there.
I also would like to see items priced for lower than what you'd pay for them in a CW shop. So many items in there you're getting for almost, if not full, price. The pawn shop is supposed to be a place where you can get things at a better deal.

Ever since the last clearout of the CW pawnshop I have had a link to the shop in my bookmarks to check regularly because honestly, getting more than a row or two behind at seeing what's in there is such a fricking pain! :C
Support this idea. Some kind of sorting system needs to be in place. Whether by layer, price, item ID,... I don't know but something xD
I support searching and sorting in the CW Pawn Shop, but I'd like to keep the ability to see the most recently pawned item order too.

I'd also like to see some item rotation of some sort. That way things can be circulated.

I support this! I'd rather not have it cleared again, at least not completely. I've seen a couple of people looking for items since the previous clearout, and I KNOW those items were almost constantly available in the pawn shop, but now no one has them because they were older items that mostly seem to have been pawned D:
But some better form of organization would be very much appreciated ;^;
I always find the jumble sale nature of the CS Pawn Shop amusing. You never know what you're gonna find.
If the current size is truly ungainly for folks, then it's due for another deletion.
*33 pages. Apparently there's an off-by-one error so the last page returns an error. :P

I didn't support the previous clearing of the cw pawn shop and I wouldn't again; indiscriminately deleting user-created user-paid csc items that someone may still want and maybe has even been saving up for, just does not sit well with me. They don't do that to the regular pawn shop and those items are a dime a dozen with hundreds to thousands of copies on site. (just saying if staff wants to address a Too Many Items problem they need to start with themselves.....)
I don't view the CW Pawn Shop very often, but when I do I am always frustrated by the lack of any kind of organization. Sometimes I could go to the next page, go back a page and find CWs that weren't there on that page when I just looked there. I really don't understand how it's organized.
I do support options for different kinds of organization, maybe with the option of sorting by ascending and descending values for each: sort by price & sort by recently pawned. I also support having them sorted into layers, sometimes you just want to see all the options- if you're looking for any backdrop you want to see what's available there. I do think that these changes would help get some items bought.
I'd love some kind of organization, or a way to sort the items! I'd be way more likely to buy from the pawn shop that way.
Very well put! I was so astonished by the deletion of all the previous items, if there had been warning or organisation then dozens of those items would have sold.
There are currently 3,300 CWs for sale in there, if even 1/10 of those sold in a sale, at 300 csc each then that is a sink of 99,000 CSC. The staff was insane to delete them a first time and they'd be even more nuts to do it a second time after the backlash.
Agreed, staff deleting all those CWs was very much like throwing money away imo. It still baffles me. I think they should revamp the pawn shop to have better organization as suggested, and then do another sale; that would be a big drive to get the items bought, I think. Actually I think 2 sales a year would be reasonable without being excessive, one in the summer and one in the winter. (And I'm not trying to be greedy with sales, I hardly have any csc lol, I just think that the previous sale managed to get a lot of things bought.)
The pawn shop definitely needs to hold "annual" sales to help clear some things out. That, combined with a faster time table of things lowering in price might help curb the amount of stuff in there.
Full support of all the suggestions made, as well as adding a search function. There have been times I've seen a wig and liked the style but not the color. If there was a search function, maybe I would have found another color I liked and bought something. As it stands now, it's a mess and definitely needs to have better organization.
PS is insanely overcrowded to say the least. -_-
I've been thinking...would anyone support a "buy with SP" option on the Pawn shop page? I know some people are intimidated for lack of better word by anything related to CSC including buying it, so perhaps an option to buy the items in there with SP might make them more open to setting goals to buy the stuff?
Like say an item had made it into the 300 CSC pricing category for ex, the price for it would be the equivalent but in SP. Or if we're really keen on clearing the shop, then a slightly lower price in SP would help I think. It opens up some more buyers imo and it would also be a potentially good SP sink. It could help reduce some items in there.
I suppose the price in SP would have to fluctuate to match the current rate of CSC so it's fair so that bit might be a bit tricky to control....or does anyone even care if the CWs in there cost a bit less to obtain? So maybe there could be a set SP price just for those pawned items? My feeling is that once an item sits there for months, not many people care about them anymore so they would not mind seeing them go for slightly less SP than their CSC worth.
Ex CSC atm is around 8 mil in user shops, so say an item is 300 CSC in the PS...instead of making it cost 24 mil (which would be the exact equivalent) maybe make it around 15-20 mil???
Just an idea I had. Hope it's not too stupid lol. (I have been up all night so it could be. :P)
I know and that's not exactly what I am saying but I see your point. :) The 2nd part of what I said, the making it cost slightly less in SP just to clear out ones that have been sitting there forever would not work with buying CSC with SP.
I think adding some kind of sorting system to the PS is a terrific idea! I have the link in my bookmarks and try to visit it often, but ONLY when I know I have a large amount of time to browse...page-by-page-by-page.
I'd love to be able to go to the PS to find specific layers, since that's often how I shop ("This outfit could use a new ____") but I don't go to the PS to find the item because of how long it can take looking through each page, item by item. Fingers Crossed that something is eventually done to establish a sorting systems in the Pawn Shop :D
