I would like to propose that quests not be permitted to ask for items that have been released within the past week. It's one thing for an item to be outrageously priced but it's a completely different thing when it isn't even in user shops.

For example, just a few minutes ago, Nori asked me for the new Deja Vogue Brown Hair Extensions. They've only been out for a few hours. Of course no one is selling them yet! I doubt more than a handful have even restocked.

No support.

Really, I treat them like items that are too expensive, we just cut our losses and move on. It happens - it's bad luck.

Considering that it won't happen for a majority of someone's quests, it isn't a big loss. It's a little annoying, but no more no less than inflation.

I feel like it would be more of a hassle to shuffle new items in-and-out from quests that it would be to have to miss a few quests a week.

No support either. Quitting one quest every few weeks/months is no big deal really.

And when newly released items appear as quest prizes we're quite happy about it... right? So, a chance to get them must come together with a chance to be asked about them.
