There are some collection items I really like, but doing the maths they cost way too much in sP than they should. Is there really a market for that? I was thinking I could buy a collection I like when it rolls around and sell the items I don't want but I don't know if that will really help recoup my losses. Otherwise, do people ever group together to buy a collection and split the items among them? I don't want to end up stuck with a bunch of expensive items nobody else wants, ha.

when you buy a monthly "collection" you only get to choose one item from the bag. If you like more than one item, you need to buy two or more collections.

There is an aftermarket, but it is not a strong one.

thanks! Though i guess it's pointless if we can only choose one item.

I had no idea, I thought you'd get the whole collection. Thanks for warning me!

There are a few things you can buy that you get everything (costume trunks for example). Other things will give you a random item from the set, some things will give you a random number of random items and still others allow you to choose a single item.

You can check at SubetaLodge and the item note should tell you which it is. If its still not clear, or it doesn't say (because, especially for older items, we might not know) you can always post here to ask :).
