Custom Wearable Pawn Shop
We will be closing the purchasing page of the Custom Wearable Pawn Shop on February 1st.
You will still be able to sell your CWs to the pawn shop but there will no longer be a way to browse or purchase items back, unless we open the page for a special event.

I really don't understand this. The shoutbox causes more drama than any other feature on this site and this is the that is chosen to be punished?
We can sell back but we can't purchase? The height of CW's popularity are gone and that's natural for any feature. I just think this was a poor decision.

Before everyone lose their mind, please try to remember that if items are in the pawn shop it's because users pawned them for a lot LESS that you're willing to pay to get them, so this is better for everyone! I can sell the CWs I don't want for 500 CSC instead of pawning them for 300 CSC and then seing them sold at 600 CSC. I'm happy about this, TBH.

So I was right, this is about your bottom line. This is despicable! Some of us cannot afford to buy CSC, you don't give us any way of earning it for free and AGAIN, these items are not worth more than 3-4 dollars each. Yet you want us to buy them for 6-8 a piece. Why don't you just shut down subeta and go into mobile gaming if you're going to be this cheap and petty with your money making tactics?!The pawn shop devalues the price of CWs, most purchases happen when the item has reached the end-of-price-lowering and it makes it hard for people who actually make CWs to keep a value on their items, or people who purchase them.
We're going to implement other methods of selling CWs directly to users that doesn't include selling them for a mandated discount over time.
Can we at the very least make it so we can search the actual CW shop by layer or something :( The interface in it isn't very good...
Why not 'sell' them back to the Cash Shop for CSC? Then the items can go back to the user's CW Shop Inventory for full price?
OMG are you kidding me? After years of this thing ruining the economy, now you're deciding to shut it down? Why? We're used to this now and the pawnshop is the only way for many of us to get CW's at a reasonable price. (These items have not ever been worth more than 3 bucks a piece and you know it.) Which is half the problem for you, isn't it? You're not making as much cheddar so now you're shutting down so you can make more revenue!
There are so many wishes of mine in there too! I can't afford to get them all before you close it off. You... you EXPLICITIVES! No, seriously, this has to stop. You're going to allow us to continue essentially deleting these items and lose out on revenue but then deny us the ability to buy CW's at a cheaper rate than the standard retail; WHY? Explain yourselves!
Isn't the CW part of the Pawn Shop a pretty good profit-maker for Subeta...? Of the people who buy CWs from there due to the cheaper price, I'm not sure many of them will just switch to paying more for the same number of CWs.
oh man that really bums me out. I check the pawn shop every single day and a good half of my CW came from there. I'm so sad :s

@MoondustDreams While you may have purchased newer CWs, most of them reached 3+ months before being purchased in the pawn shop which makes it harder for users to sell the items to anywhere BUT the pawn shop.
i'd also like to know why. this is extremely disappointing, it has been a way to find cw's i wouldn't be able to get otherwise. will there be a different way to get access to those cw's now?
Ah IK there was drama about this. I don't understand anything about what goes into it. I just know aside from being generously gifted CW's (<3 tysm), this was the only way I'd ever be able to purchase them. So I guess bye to that?
Why please I browse it all the time and periodically buy now what can we do to buy at cheaper prices. Not everyone can afford full price and that pawn shop helps so much. It feels like yall are taking away a lot of fun for some of us sigh

Nothing terribly big other than that I have sometimes seem people get kind of upset about their CWs ending up in the Pawn Shop. I'm not sure if it's caused a big enough problem to cause this decision, but it's something I've observed and couldn't help wondering if this attitude contributed to the decision (even in a small way).

Is this because its a dumping ground where most are unclaimed?
why not get rid of the old/bad quality cw's and make sure from that point on, only cw items (newer/better quality can be purchased) while still giving those an option to sell old/new cws to pawn?
because sadly, I miss out on slots on newer cws and pawn shop is my chance to purchase that. I think to get rid the chance to purchase new cw's in the pawn shop isn't a good idea for those like me who do purchase cws from there(and I hoard all the cw's i have bought/made in my wardrobe/tc even if its old or new)..just my opinion.

@Metaphor And what drama was there that was caused? I've never heard of any strife caused by this so I'm curious to know what you know about it.
Why is this a thing? I mean, it's the only way for some of us to see CW's. If it's because some CW makers complain? Why change it just for them?
what?? yeah i would also like to know the reason. is it because it's "devaluing" CWs or something? because i quite like trawling the pawn shop for interesting things at good prices :(
Hm, that's strange. I always liked browsing through the CW pawnshop for birds that I wouldn't be able to purchase otherwise. I'd like to see the reasoning myself, although I wonder if some of the drama caused by it has something to do with it.
