I want to see how much a CW originally cost, but it seems I can't do that unless it's in stock. In the CW directory, I get interesting info, but not what I need.
Am I looking in the wrong spot or is this a weird oversight for a directory.
afaik there's no way to check what an item originally slotted for. you could try asking the releaser, maybe they'd tell you
You could ask on the CW pricing thread or contact the releaser: CW Pricing Thread
If it's an item that has recolors, possibly you can find either an in-stock recolor or a post on the creator's release thread if they have one that lists the slot price - unless the item you're looking for the original price of is older than the current teal-star system, it'll probably be the same
