I still don't understand why so many items, or pretty much all, in there are being sold for what would be considered slot price then the price slowwwwly reduces depending on how long they're in there.

I was also just informed by my friend that minimum buy back for CWs start at 100 CSC and goes up to 250. I find that really unfair. Yes, I know that it's a pawn shop. Yes I know you're looking for a "quick buck" when you put something in there, but this is working with real money and not virtual.

I feel that charging people the equivalent of slot price, or close to it, for items in the Pawn Shop doesn't allow for any kind of savings or discount. By "slot price" I'm referring on how much it'd cost to put something in the CW section of the CS.

I don't know how things can be changed, but I feel as though things should be changed because it doesn't seem very fair the way things are right now. Paying 600 CSC, for example, for a CW in the pawn shop which is the same price that you can buy it in the CS doesn't seem right.

Yes, I also am aware that you can get some "rarities" in there, too, but still, I've not seen CWs go higher than, maybe 700 CSC when initially for sale in the CW forums. So, where as you might be saving a bit (100 CSC, depending on what item you happen to buy/snag), or getting a lucky rarer find, most items in there across the board seem to be pretty static. If anything, I feel things shouldn't be higher than 500 CSC maximum. That way you can feel as though you're saving a bit instead of feeling like you're paying slot price in a shop where items should be discounted.

That said, I agree that the cap should be 500 and not 600. CSC is moving out of the system whether you buy from the Pawn Shop or Cash Shop, if you're paying the same either way most people will probably look for someone giving a discount on the forums instead so it removes that incentive to move CSC out of the system.

Not only that, but the Cash Shop price is more or less the "retail" value of an item, it's what the item sells for directly from the store. Pawn Shops in real life don't sell things for retail value, no one would bother when they can just get a brand new item for the same cost. I know that's kind of irrelevant with a virtual item but it is still a Pawn Shop. I never understood why the maximum cost went from 5 to 600 in the first place.

And a note, though this has nothing to do with the point, I have seen some slot costs way higher than 700, there have been items slotted at 1k+ before.

I've sold a lot of things to the pawn shop recently and never got under 250 for anything.

the items that tend to get 100 csc is small items like rings or anklets, yet to buy it from pawn is 300 most times.

I think maybe if anything there should be a 24 hour full price refund for buying items in the CW Pawn. This should be account bound though, so if it was given away or something that would be it. So should you buy an item and unable to truly use it like you imagined you have the chance to get your spent csc back to use for other items. After 24 hours then it's sold for the usual price to pawn if they got rid of it even 3 days after buying.

Idk if anything like that IS possible or feasible, but this was merely an idea I just had because I understand pawn wouldn't take an item for 400 to sell for 500. At the same time though it really is devaluing what a person spent on the csc be it with card(stripe, paypal ect ect) or sp. That $5 now is only worth $2.50, that 18ish mill you saved up for is now worth 9ish mill.

Could we have a warning come up when we click on the purchase of these from the pawn shop, much like you do if you buy an item from the cash shop? Just an 'Are you sure...' I know it's our own fault if we do it, but it's a bit annoying to spend 500 csc by an accidental click and that would stop that happening.

There is a warning. If you didn't get one and bought an item you should file a ticket for a refund.

thank you, I didn't see one so I will do that

Another thing to think about is that they probably don't want a lot of csc just going back and forth between people. If you buy csc and then buy an item from someone and turn around and put it in the pawn shop and get back what you just spent there, there wouldn't be any reason for you to go and buy (with sp or usd) more csc for something else. How it is now, you have to find other ways to buy more csc in order to buy another item from the cs or a person. So it puts more money into the site. It's beneficial for subeta to have you take currency out of the site and spend it in the cs or cw slots because then that csc is paid for and gone. I agree it would be nice to get more csc back because we all want to buy things but I can also understand that by just exchanging and passing csc back and forth it would reduce the amount of csc users buy and 'site support' that would happen. A little bit of an increase would be nice but I think it's just wishful thinking.

I like that items reduce in price in time personally. I don't think I should have to pay the same thing for something that is outdated and unwanted then something that is brand new.
