Antique Shop



The Antique Shop is now open!

There are two ways to purchase items from the Antique Shop. For now, there are tabs for the Islander items and Pirate items, but future tabs for other plot and event prizes will be added. By going to the main section for these, you’ll be buying items full price and be able to do whatever you want with them. For example you could buy the Salty Chart Pieces from the Pirates tab and put them in your pet’s treasure chest, one of your galleries, your vault, or even send it to a friend!

The second way to purchase items from the Antique shop is by clicking one of the item types after “Direct To Collections”. For example, if you click books you’ll have all the book listed from the different events (right now only pirate and islander books are listed). By buying an item from this tab, you’ll be getting a nice discount and bypass your inventory. In the case of foods and books, these items will be fed/read to your active pet. When you feed/read the foods/books to your pet or buy a plushie/beanbag, they disappear from this section so you can easily keep track of what you still need to purchase. If you end up reading all the books to your pet from the books tab (whether through the antique shop or your inventory!), the tab will disappear until we add another old plot/event!

We will give you guys a heads up before we get rid of any other retired currencies just like we did with the islander/pirate currencies! Remember you can still convert your old pirate/islander points in for sP here!

I hope you enjoy your purchase! I can’t wait to see what you do with it.

[item2=Pirate Legeica Plushie]

I caved and bought it because my birthday is next Satuarday and I wanted to get me an early Birthday Present. 😜 Besides, I had about 106 mil in my bank that I hadn't spent in a while, and that's one of the only Pirate items I wanted back in the RW that I didn't get, so I was FINALLY happy to get it!

Hopefully, the Battle Loot from some of the event battlers will be there too. I'd really like to add some of those things to my gallery. 😃

We have two prices in the shops, so that was a compromise between the two. It also didn't really make much sense giving everyone one last chance to spend their points if the value would have been identical to the full price. You got a little more than you could have with sP if you spent the points you'd earned, basically.

Is the antique shop staying for good? I'll need a few of those hibiscus so I have some saving up to do xD

Tbh keeping the hibiscus in mind I'm glad these are back at any (buyable) price at all, I'll have to agree the middle-tier weapons do seem a bit overpriced considering they came up for a lot cheaper during the cruise, but otherwise I'm really happy to have a shot at things I otherwise wouldn't...! Even more so by seeing all the collectibles there, omg.

I'm surprised the top weapons made it back, but definitely not surprised at all by the price tag chosen. Overall this will probably be a very nice sink!

Lol, at the people saying these things would never have become available, so you should be grateful. You obviously haven't been on Subeta long. Nothing ever stays retired forever. They say it will, then they re-release it or give it away.

I think Jazzy summed up the real reason behind this pretty well:

"I guess we have to buy CSC and sell it to others in order to get enough to buy stuff in there."

I know these prices are outrageous, to say the least... but, it's better than an unbuyable sitting in a gallery, and believe me, I have one of those galleries. A lot of us can't buy all the things we want today, but in time, as we save for certain items to complete collections, this will help us out in the long run. I'm just going through each item and wishlisting items to save up for. Those pirate plushies, they will one day be mine!!!

Love the idea of the antique shop.

But... hum... 75 millions for an item currently selling for under 12 millions (or 4 as someone noticed)? That's quite a difference. Was expecting to buy some stuffs I missed (not enough points) but, as they are now and since there's no plan to change, I won't even bother since I can buy them at the user shops by a tiny fraction of the "official" price. I am so glad I spent all my points ages ago.

It will take a while before these particular shops become sP sinks. Or until subetans inflate the prices tenfold to match the shop's.

Crying because you couldn't find a seller for the item for a long time. Crying because it cost too much when actually given the opportunity to buy something previously UB. Some items were cheaper in shop search before this, you should've bought them previously if you wanted them that badly.

I assume so, considering that your contributions to our drive this year earned have you 293 point(s). Have fun shopping, and thank you for participating! What should I buy from the RD? :o

I get that this stuff was hard to get & not many around -- still doesn't justify the prices. Makes me wonder if this shop wasn't created just for the 10 richest users on the site. I've been a member for only 2.5 years, but there are things priced more than the TOTAL sP I've made in my shops since I joined Subeta. I quest, I rs, etc… but I'm NOT going to spend 3 years working my ass off and saving up to buy 1 thing.

There are things about the shop I really like: the fact that it exists. I like the tabs, etc. Still… looking at those prices feels like a slap in the face.

I was really excited about this! I had missed the pirate/islander event because I joined after it and was looking forward to actually being able to get some of the items. Then, I saw the prices. Disappointment on so many levels.

Have you considered adding a total to the shop? Like A total of xx,xxx,xxx,xxx sP has been spent here. Or even one-up that and have a "high score" table for the biggest spenders. I don't think it should be under-estimated how competitive people are

This is nice! It's meant to be an sP sink, so yeah the prices are going to be high. Play games, do quests, earn sP. Sell CSC so that the price of CSC goes down. PLEASE do this thing. Nothing in these shops I'm dying to save up for though, but it's nice they're available.

less than 30m for every plushie? meh, they should cost at least 100m imo. I guess I'll just wait until the collection items I still need are released for a few millions instead of wasting 200m+ on them.

And seriously people, without this shop, you would have NEVER been able to get some items. You can just ignore it and try hunting a seller to get it cheaper like a lot of people did in the past. I can't see how having the option to get an item for a nice sum of sp is worse than never being able to get it no matter how hard you try.

Hey I just realized something... why were we short - changed? If the rate is 75,000 per point, why were we giving only 50,000sP per point, a week ago?

I knew they were going to be expensive but I didn't think they were going to be /that/ expensive, woah. It certainly makes you rethink buying things just for a collection.

I dunno but I play a a few times a week, do quests sometimes, and just by selling quest prizes, and shinwa items i make 10 mil a week easily. If you add that up in a month you have 40 mil. This is the BARE minimum. I can easily make 30 mil a week if i try hard enough, restock hrd enough. If i were to sell my wardrobe hell i would be making 100 mil a week easily. Or more. So you know i don't find this remarkably as expensive as others i guess. I remember how hard it was to get the points for these items back in the day.

Despite what it looks like sometimes based off the forums, there are still a lot of Subetans who have nothing-to-very-little to do with CWs, and for at least some of them price is that factor. Yes they're comparable, but CWs are another extremely expensive/questionably worth it (especially before the pricing changes) item.Not trying to be rude I just think the comparison goes either way c: Granted, I haven't read all the comments, but the few that have jumped out at me haven't been excessively negative. This is the first time we're seeing final prices and implementation. Feedback is to be expected. At least some people are giving it, without being crazy about the feature or "weeping/gnashing".

So much weeping and gnashing of teeth. I think the repricing makes perfect sense, given how the points were scaled. Sorry you have to put up with this much wailing and chest-beating, staff. For what it's worth, I think this was a fair and logical thing to do, and I applaud you guys by sticking by it.

(Also for that sword to ever be 750 points was unreasonable tbh, why are people surprised. Did you even look at the shop before? Can you even imagine collecting 750 freaking points? Absurd.)

Have to admit that while I'm not "outraged" at the high prices, as one of the richest users on Subeta I still won't be buying anything here as I don't see anything I have to have badly enough to pay that much for it. Too many other things I want more. But nice for the opportunity to get old plot items. I wasn't here for this plot so it's interesting to see what is in the shop. But anyone considering buying anything should seriously shop search 1st because a 75k shop item is selling in user shops for 5K.

I had a bit of sticker shock upon opening the tab, but overall I think you guys really hit the sweet spot on pricing. The handful of TC items I wanted are all under 50mil, so not too crazy. I also think it's nice that the godlies were brought back. I'm not likely to ever buy them, but I bet there's at least a few billionaires on the site who are going to be excited about picking those up now that they're available.

I'm not surprised at the outrage here in the comments, though. People complained about how expensive Skitter's shop was. Anything that costs more than about 100k sP gets people crying about how 'impossible' it is. (Seriously guys, do all your quests and sell the prizes and you'll be able to afford most of these items in less than a month. Just work at it.)
