Cash Shop: Black Market

Greetings, Subeta.

I am User not found: inspector thorpe of the Ziara City Police Department; perhaps you remember me. It would seem as though PiÃ±a Park's resident hoodlum, that no-good terracoon who appropriately calls himself The Hustler, has been up to more mischief than usual. Reports have been filed that he has been intercepting shipment trucks destined for other locations on Subeta and selling the stolen goods in the Cash Shop, setting up his own black market.

Unfortunately, I do not have enough evidence to arrest him, so I will need you to chip in once again. Verify the stories are true. Investigate the Cash Shop and confirm that he is selling these items! From the reports made, I have deduced that the stock rotates often, so make sure you check at all hours to catch him unawares! Should you manage to buy something from him, you will be awarded with an achievement, and I will allow you to keep the item. We at the ZCPD won't need it; I just need to catch him in the act!

You can earn the SP to buy CSC if you really want it.
there are plenty of achievements that require spending large sums of money, this is no different and it's silly of you to bash subeta for it 0-o

riverswirl @

...this isn't a great idea, as CSC makes things a bit exclusive... and those of us who either don't have or don't have enough CSC can't really participate...

I've been on all day and I still haven't been able to snag an item <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_sad.gif" border="0" />

@~~Yoyo~~ Illuser
No, CSC can be bought with sP via the user shops.

You could say I'm new to the new subeta *still trying to get used to the layout*
could someone explain how? (would prefer if you msg me.)

witchy_woman @

The hustler quickly hands you the Reflection Blade and leads you out of the alley.

Go to your inventory

finally got the achievement tha'ts what i wanted

DebiLee @

Somehow, no matter when I check, I keep missing everything, and I really needed that robot amulet! Is this Achievement by any chance tiered?

Chrissacide @

H-Hey Mr. Hustler... wanna hook me up with some Zydrate? >.>

0

TaterSalad @

Don't forget. you can also buy CSC with SP. So there are 3 options if you must have this achievement. Something for EVERYONE.
Real money...special offers...SP. Nothing is unfair, everyone can do one of those.

TopKitty_101 @

*sigh* really, i don't feel like having my other email spammed. if their was a plot here. well that'd be nice. but most of the sites users probably couldn't even join in on the fun. I'm to poor as the moment and ill try my hardest to Help out and support the website cuz i love subeta. but its kinda ripish to pull this on us. shhhhssh.

0

mikki @

But I already bought like 5 items from the Hustler before the achievement came out... ;n;

0

Tribble @

No CSC for this, and please do not tell me to try the offers... I have an email box full of spam from that and the CSC were never credited to me.

0

Rainey @

Wonder how many thousands of times we have to go there before we get lucky enough to get something? This is as bad, if not worse than BHH <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_raspberry.gif" border="0" />

airforce_wife @

aww...i was hoping for the fireside mystery myself...*sniffle*

0

Kris @

Awww I like Mike's Version.

Cardiff @

For a second I had this whole vision of a plot involving a Fireside mystery, battling and somehow tying into the couple news comments about Maleria lately. Sadness <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_raspberry.gif" border="0" />

Rabbit_788 @

Haha! Whine, whine, whine. xD

0

Velluria @

That sucks, I bought from him quite a while ago and got no achievement then. That's just plain unfair.

0

Muerte @

Sorry kid, I just sold my last Bombastic Captain Hat.
NOOOOOO ! ;-;

0

witchy_woman @

You wander down the alley beside the Cash Shop building and the hustler is standing there next to a box that looks like it might have fallen off a shipping truck.

"Sorry kid, I just sold my last Bombastic Captain Hat. Check back some other time. I might have something else."
go figure missed it

0

SCAREY @

People would complain anyway if the hustler's offers at the cash shop were introduced with the achievement....can't please everyone.

It would be nice if the achievement were retroactive, but I find it worth it to support Subeta.

0

SCAREY @

@Zarra

if you don't want your personal email overhauled by offers you complete online, just create a separate email for that kind of stuff. No biggie c:

0

Fishbone @

very nice,
if you have csc c.c

0

Zarra @

Great! So I either spend real money to get CSC (which being a student I can't afford right now), or I have my email spammed with a gazillion junk mail ads 'simply by filling out forms and/or offers' just to get CSC. I've never had anything but bad results and hassles from these so called offers so I'm quite wary to test these out (and they look practically identical to the offers I've tried via other sites and had so much trouble with). On top of that, far too many of these so called offers are "US residents only" and I don't live in the states!

Sorry but much as I'd love to get the achievement (and whatever else happens to go along with this), I can't get it. Good luck to anyone else.

0

Magan @

I don't see how the achievement CAN'T be retroactive. I mean, they have our Cash Shop purchasing history and everything.

0

waterfall @

this would be epic if it developed into a plot.

i'm glad there's an achievement! i don't really mind that it's not retroactive, when i bought items before I didn't do it in the hope of getting an achievement for it, and i'm sure i'll buy from there again.

0

Flight @

Hahaha what I see from this...

'briiiiible please oh please buy CSC items from ussss we give you achievement..... *begging eyes*'

*shrug* Neat I guess

0

Carol @ STAFF

Hopefully everyone remembers that there are OTHER ways to get CSC other than spending your own cash. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" /> No one's asking you to spend dollars to get achievements!

0

moveonover @

When I took the Kitty Following I only did it because I thought there might be a hidden achievement but that was over a week ago so I hope he offers me another item that I don't already have someday. Also he takes your CSC not SP people.

0

Milleu @

How about being retroactive? Ive already brought stuff from him..

0

Emyon @

Hah, I already bought stuff from him. There should have been an achievement from the start.

0

Evy @

Damn, I've seen most of the previous restocks, but never wanted it or already had it, and now that there's an achievement and I reallyreallyreally want the scarf, it's sold out. Just my luck, lol! <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_raspberry.gif" border="0" />

slippy @

I wish he would stock faster.

0

Dessert @

someones a bit late to the party xD

0

THOR @

Awwh I only bought something the other day from him.

This might convince me to buy a bit more CSC.

0

Quartz_432 @

I wish it was retro active. :c I've already spent 500 csc on him.

0

Kiba_224 @

so is this advertising an achievement or are you telling us that the hustler in the cash shop is going to end soon? ._.

0

tymbaa @

shameless way to make money huh? lol :p

0

Lazuli @

I was all "THORPE!" And then I was all "oh."

0

Julia @

I thought you were avoiding having Cash Shop achievements?

0

SPARKLE_106 @

Glad I saved some CSC, even though i've bought three items already x)

0

Nonchalant @

I'm just sad that the achievement isn't retro active. I can't afford another 250 CSC <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_sad.gif" border="0" />

0

Live @

This is cool, I hope I can get some money in the bank before the achievement retires though.

0

Anrivef @

Pfft, Thorpe can't do anything on his own, can he? First we need to solve a murder for him and now this.. XD

0

Jenni @

I think it's just trying to tell people of the hustler... and a new achievement...
...I thought it was a plot, too... XD

0

@anastasiastarz
Hustler items thus far all cost 250CSC.

0

anastasiastarz @

How much does the scarf cost? O.O

0

Francine @

x.x i hate when they release achievements after I've done it.

I bought yesterday, twice, the scroll of confidence xD
before the achievement was released,... xD

VALHALLA @

I totes thought that this was a new plot, lol.
Thorpe is a crappy Inspector, imo.

0

TheseHeights @

And once again, Thorpe needs us to do his dirty work for him.

0

paranoia @

LOL DAMN. Just bought this cute new scarf too. ;.;

0

nlp @

I really doubt they'll give the achievement out retroactively. They wouldn't do it for the "only room for one" achievement.

0

Yoyo Illuser @

Do we have to spend real money? If so...I'm screwed....

-snickers- I find this super amusing! I'm on it Inspector! -salutes-

inkrealm @

mmmm P:
I don't think it's really too long, I think it was an interesting way to announce it all;
and I mean for pete's sakes it's only about a paragraph guys. besides all that no one is forcing you to read it, T^T"
although I think I'd specify.... I take it this is only available via the CSC version of the Hustler and not the origional himself?

0

moveonover @

I have a Kitty Following curticy of non other.

Alicia @

Retroactive pls?

0

Lantern @

lol I thought there was a new plot

0

StarShadow @

Hmm, I've been buying items from him for weeks now but no achievement. Guess they just added it.

0

Kiarae @

Good luck Inspector, you'll need it for the outrage if you ever catch him in the act... XP

that's all? that's an interesting way to announce a new achievement.

Yay I got a cute scarf I never would have gotten otherwise.

Now just get lots of my WL items and we're good to go 'cough'

Jeez, after I bought two items. Seriously Mr. Thorpe, should've anounced this sooner *blows bubble-pipe*

You just have to do it again ^^

Hope this doesn't deflate it, I kiiinda want to sell it and buy back my CSC

0

Speiro @

Is this an actual plot or just a clever way of announcing the Hustler's CS shop?

Shame the achievement isn't retroactive. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_sad.gif" border="0" />

Bah, I've bought four things in there over the last couple of days, and now I'm out of CSC again. :/ Nice timing. XD

TAKAJO @

...what if we bought from the hustler before? is there any way to get the achievement from previous purchases? :<

0

Profound @

i brought a wicked candle from him the other day -shifty eyes- no achievement then. perhaps i should've held off a couple of days <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_raspberry.gif" border="0" /> not buying a scarf just for an achievement, lol

this is a really tl;dr way to say that you get an achievement by buying from the hustler now...
