So I was staring at this for the umpteenth time in the Hustler's shop, and I realized how long it takes for some items to change over in there. Some items can sit in there for two or three days before they're changed over, and some of us are just dying for more new stocks of older items that are almost impossible to come by in the user market. So I was thinking, what if Subeta limited the timeframe for Hustler restocks to force it to restock a new item at least once per day? I know it can sometimes change stock much faster than that as well, which is great. If there was a time cap to ensure the item changed over at least once per day though, I thought that might help drive more profits for Subeta while allowing users more opportunity to get additional items that are currently retired from the cash shop.

I can't speak for everyone by any means, but I can definitely say I'd spend more with him if he'd just put different stuff in his shop more frequently. :)

I don't purchase from the Hustler so this doesn't impact me really, but changing it more than once a day, every day, seems excessive to me. Once a week perhaps?

I would love more frequent restocks, or at least more consistency. Sometimes items change 3x a day, sometimes they sit for days with no change.

Please don't change it to once a week though, the last thing we need is to lengthen the time between restocks imo

lol once a week? no way since it's not manually changed.

I think the most restock I saw was 4 items for one day. Would be nice if it's a daily restock! We were recently promised with older items, and I'm dying to get them. ;o;

They can add a poll to the page. interested not interested

if "not interested" is higher after 3-5 hours, they change the item. :P

tbh only 3 people bought the , so no one wants it, replace it with a new item please..

I think a guaranteed once-a-day restock (with more possible if the items sell out) is good. Keeps us from having to stare at items that aren't moving for three days straight but (presumably?) staff doesn't have to trouble themselves much since it's just the upcoming change moved forward a little.

I think once every other day would be nice. Just because of time differences and the fact that some people can't be on every single day. I'm sure Subeta wouldn't want to miss out on potential sales because it changes too frequently. Anything more than that seems too long.

The thing is, if it changes at a minimum of once per day, that gives people up to 24 hours to catch the item. That's plenty of time to account for time changes and if people aren't online every day, the item will come back eventually. Very few items actually sell out and most that I've seen recently haven't even been worth the price compared to what they sell for in the SS.

Yeah, I think once a day is a great idea, considering sometimes there are 3-4 changes in one day, which makes even people who log in daily miss items.

And it's really boring to stare at the same worthless (comparatively) item for 3 days.

I'd really love to see a consistent restock rate here, and also for someone to take a look at the queue and clear it out a bit.

I have CSC sitting in my currencies, specifically marked for the Hustler, that never get used because the selection of items is so terrible. Eyebrow pencils, handfuls of rose petals, more collection items like the zodiac-themed stuff...people will pay for these, they've been asking.

I don't think it's a matter of restock times needing to be changed... but rather removing the items that are not at all worth it from the queue completely (The Police Utility Belt is in shops for under 700k... if you're buying that for 250CSC, I'm sorry but you're kind of an economics-idiot.)

- I think you are right. If there were some way to programme it so nothing under a certain price in user shops goes to the hustler that would be great. However if that isn't possible then a maximum time limit for each item of 24 hours would be really good.

Also make it unlimited instead of a specific no of items stocked, as it is we can only buy 3 items max per item.

The items are manually added and removed by Amber and Ariel, so I don't think that would work.

Lol no. The idea is to get some of these items back into circulation, not to make them unlimited and throw them around willy nilly.

I think a guaranteed restock a day is good. Definitely don't make the items unlimited though, it's fine as it is (or maybe even restock less so the items keep their rarity). Removing worthless items from the stock would be great, too. Nobody who knows what they're doing is going to pay for something that's worth less than what 250 csc is...

I will love you forever if you trade me:

That's a shame. I can imagine it would be quite time consuming to check each item for price.

I second that, please don't make them unlimited.

The items are price checked before they are added to the queue

Yeah, every time I add things I remove a handful of the crappy ones from the bottom (it goes highest to lowest price)!</p>

At least have some mechanism where previously stagnating high priced items dont show up for 2-3 months not 1-2 weeks.

Once a day sounds nice to me, even if I haven't bought from him in a long while.

I also agree with pulling the cheaper priced items**, just not every cheaper priced item. As plenty of people always say, he's a hustler, not everything will be a deal!

**Prices float a lot, though, and in general I think Amber and Ariel do a pretty nice job at keeping the queue clear of ultra cheap stuff! That doesn't mean that we can't poke them if there are certain cheap-ish items that keep coming, though ^^;

Please no unlimited stock, or else the Kah bobble will never see the light of the day again D:

I kinda want to say keep a cooldown for items (ex. something that showed up yesterday can't show up again for the next few days) but I'm not sure how helpful that is and/or if it's even possible to code it.
