On the other hand, I do agree with others that it decreases csc in the system. I know it's a pawn shop and everything. But I think it would be nice to make it so that people who want csc for items that wouldn't sell or are quickselling to make 300 csc. The CWs would then sit in the pawn shop till someone comes around and purchases them for 300 csc.

Posted earlier that this was a good idea. Obviously had not paid attention to what is going on. Sell something you originally paid 600 or 700 for and get 300. Buy something that somebody paid the same high price for originally for 500 when they got only 300 for it in the pawn shop. Not nice. This is going to put a damper on the CW business for sure.

Thank you so much for this!
I was having the hardest time selling a CW and this made a great solution. I'll definitely be stalking the shop for CWs other people sold to Jeremy. C:

I actually like this new cw shop, primarily because it gives me a chance to sell off some old cws that NO ONE will buy and at least make some csc from them. I've had some cws that no matter how low I price them simply won't sell and at least this gives me a chance to get rid of them, and still get back some csc in the process.

I would like to see a "set alarm" so you can get a ping if you want to sell another CW. Also would like to see a "just in case" button when buying to make sure you are buying the CW and not just an error.

Not the best idea subeta's had. This will make CSC even more scarce and I don't like how it just gets reabsorbed by subeta. The CSC made there should be randomly given out to users who can't or never have bought CSC before. Why? Because CSC costs REAL money to get and all this will do is force people to buy MORE CSC, because there will be no second hand market anymore. People's impatience will win out and no one will be selling CWs at a discount anymore. :/ Which is pretty unfortunate for the userbase and disgustingly greedy of you guys.
I really love Subeta but features like this make me seriously consider quitting. Hell, I've already spent double of what I spent on subeta during the first six years before CW's were released. Now is that entirely your fault? No. I can take a good two-thirds of the blame here but I also have an impulse control and hoarding issues which I think you guys are preying upon a bit. Also, CW's shouldn't be five dollars each. They should be, at most, three dollars since DI's are 2.50 a pop.
I don't think it would cut into profits either since, if it's cheaper, more people will be able to make and bother with CW's so more people will be buying. But whatever. Cute idea but it's too much like mainstream videogame trade ins. You don't see any equal trade or value but it helps kill the second hand market. Way to go.

200 extra for Subeta? Come on. 500 csc were already paid by the creator. No discount, in fact a nice increase.

I really don't like the way the regular item pawn shop is run now. /:
I don't like the pricing, the fact that some items are no longer accepted, and that there is a SIX hour sell restriction.

I don't understand why people are even complaining.
I've seen CWs on the forums that have been priced at 250-300 CSC without ever being sold.
I guess if you expect more than 300 CSC for the item, don't consider using the system?
From my POV, this was actually implemented for people who have less popular CWs that really won't sell even at low prices, and not for people to sell back the CWs they no longer want..That's what the R200 forums are for.
No offense meant to anyone.

Making a batch of 10 CW costs 5000 CSC, so 500 CSC is the minimum you should pay for them officially.

Oh No! You can only sell to the pawn shop every six hours!
O.o
A time limit on the PS too?...

@Moltres cw are already 600 in csc and on CW forums, sometimes CW on CW forums are 700-900csc.

I like this idea, but I think 500 CSC for a CW is a bit much. And why do you only get 300 CSC in return for one?

I've been wanting this feature on Neopets for their cash items for years. I don't know how often I'd use this feature, but it's really good to know that you can at least get some CSC back for items that just won't sell.

I think many people are buying from here because it's way more impulsive friendly. See a wearable that looks cute, better snag it now, even if you don't like it you can sell it back and only lose 200 CSC.

Lantern - people think that keeping the CW side empty counts for the achievement I think.
Love this idea, hate the 6 hour limit though.

"if you dont want an item dont click it"
I didn't click to buy. I was just trying to add it to my WL.
The regular pawn shop does not cost you CSC if you accidentally click something.

None of the CWs I want are for sale anywhere anyway so wouldn't show up in the shop. But I don't plan on giving any I have away for half price either. Interesting idea though.

I do not believe the regualr pawn shop has a confirmation than neither should this one, if you dont want an item dont click it

Several people have accidentally bought an item. :( It would have happened to me as well... I just happened to be out of csc. Really needs a confirmation button. And I think EmilyMae and Alchemy should be reimbursed as well. :(

Okay yeah I'm with other people. How are CWs I haven't been able to sell for 300-400 csc selling out so fast in the pawn shop? xD It's a mystery!

I just tried to add a wig to my WL and ended up buying it by accident. I am not too happy about that :(

I'm not sure I like this.. I mean, I like the idea, but 400 CSC would have been more appropriate, IMO.. Personally I don't see 500 as a nice discount enough , for things that don't sell on the boards, meh

You have this achievement!
You guys should check the shop now *cough* ;3

I wish they would buy for at least 400csc if they are going to sell for them for 500csc.
But its still a great idea :)

I'm so confused at why an item I've been trying to sell for like a month in my shop for like 9m sold here super quickly for 500 csc, i would have liked that extra 200 csc :c

Gah. Accidentally purchased a CW I definitely DO NOT WANT. Desperately need a purchase confirmation.

I like this "No questions asked, no haggling, just money given!" kind of thing with a chance to grab up some stuff you've been looking for without combing through 20.000 posts! :)

I think this is a good idea for people who are desperate to sell their CWs for some csc.

What happened to the old items in the pawn shop? They're still appearing in the shop search, but not the shop.

RavensDreams
The only reason I can think is that the people who bought it never saw that board for the item, or don't usually go to the Adver forum to buy stuff.

Am I the only person still reeling at the fact that some CWs that wouldn't sell at 200 csc in the forums are being snatched up like hotcakes here for more than twice the price?

I love this. Bought 2 CW already. Please add a confirmation "Are you sure you want to buy this" though.

Glint
Great feature. Those that don't want their expensive CWs any more can sell them, guaranteed (if at a loss). Buyers can then snap up random CWs for a discount. The numbers for selling or buying may need some tweaking yet, but we'll see.

I LOL'd. If they aren't successfully being sold in threads or trades cheaply, the why the love are people scrambling for them now? o.O

This is how real pawn shops operate. They give less than the item is worth so it can be resold at it's approximate value for a profit...It wouldnt make sense if you could just exchange things for their new/true value.

I'd prefer selling my CWs for 500 or 600, not 300....but oh well. This will be a last resort if I cannot sell any CWs.

No...somebody beat me to the Everlasting Love Locks because I had to redeem CSC cards first. I did manage to snag a different wig - I'm lucky to have even been able to have made a purchase.
Gonna try selling/trading what I got.

Grr, that is going to make it harder to get CSC :( but thank you. Maybe you can give members 50 or 100 csc for each month they are a member? Course I suppose one can buy them..

I love it but can we get a confirmation notice when buying? I accidentally clicked on one while flicking across the page and bought a Wig I didn't want :c

may i suggest this for donation presents too? I mean some people can not affored to put Rl money on the site. And the deflation of donation presents..the ones that have gone down to 400k etc.. We could sell for CSC too? Just an idea.. Ok please dont scream at me everyone for my idea/ suggestion

The only thing I can see is this making the artists who have put their wears in the Cash Shop upset. Otherwise it's a neat idea for the buyers.

Not interested in turning in any of my CW's. I bought them all for 500+ so why should I take that much of a hit? I'd rather gift them anonymously to those who would really want them. Thanks though!

hmm interestingly enough, half the the ones I saw in there a couple hours ago are now gone.

If I get some CSC and a little stroke of luck, maybe I can grab some of a CW I'm after. c:

I kind of like it.
I'm glad because I'm stuck with CWs that no one want.
...300 csc isn't much if you count that you paid 600 csc a slot but well: Better than nothing!

It's nice we can sell, but somehow I am really disappointed that we have to pay 500 CSC for these. :c
I mean, when they can hardly sell for 500 CSC, I don't expect many of these to be bought..
