The sP limit on a single item in User Shops should be increased.

The change can help keep items in the upper price range from disapearing from the visible market. With almost 127k unique items on the site, most users do not know the majority of items on their account so keeping up with trades is not realistic.

I dont recall where the 100m price came from and if it was for database stability reasons. Maybe a 500m sP cap? I'd be curious what sP Cap others think is appropriate.

[edit] And the # of items goes up VERY quickly - holy cow :p. After 5 months since my initial post the ~127k unique items has jumped to There are 130,409 unique items on the site. Mostly CW's. But ooof.

Hmmm. I also can't remember why there was a need for a max price in shops. I'd really like at least some vague idea of why the limit exists before deciding it should be changed.

I would love this. I'm bad at keeping up with trades and also bad at pricing. This would help with both issues for me.

I still think this should be a thing - I couldn't find any explanation for the current limit anywhere.

I don't see why not. Allows people to skip trades then.

Having previously had an offer of 1500 sP on an expensive item in my trades (which could've been valued at 1500 CSC), I definitely support increasing the max price for shop items!

If it's a database issue, then that would be understandable why it can't be done, but it would help to keep track of prices as well as there isn't always an item in trades to check against (esp if the 2 week timer is up and the trades were cancelled).

If the limit was increased, then we could choose if we wanted to use trades (for instance if we wanted a combination of items & sP), or we could just fling it into the shop and not have the hassle of trade offers (or potential scams if someone is "accidentally on purpose" offering sP rather than CSC or whatever). It might also help get some of those more expensive items into circulation rather than gathering virtual dust on user accounts where they aren't being used :P

I think there are some people that don't even check trades, so might help them find items they wouldn't always see for sale.

I too don't remember the reason it was set at 100mill.

This was done for two reasons!</p>
<ol>
<li>Items do sell for more than 50 million, it&;s just way harder to make it happen.</li>
<li>We get data for our item purchases from the user shops primarily, so this helps us collect more information on the price of items and better let you know the price of items over time 😊!

WoW, that was almost 8 years ago. :o

thanks for that! Though I don't really understand those reasons and how they would be negatively impacted by increasing the max selling price in shops.

In any case, with that info in mind I don't see any reason not to increase the max. I wouldn't want to see an increase in the Autopircer max, problems enough with that right now.

The biggest problems I see with trades:

  1. The deadline and having to remake slow selling trades again and again. Not to mention that its a real nuisance because you sometimes can't tell what trade item suddenly showed up in your inventory, only that a trade was cancelled.
  2. The scummy people that deliberately offer low SP when asking for CSC.

With a higher max in shops pt 1 would wouldn't be a problem, and point 2 now only becomes a problem if you specifically want CSC (but one can always just buy CSC with sP shop purchases).
