I love the pawn shop! I really wish you would keep it open through the 26th. That is when I get more money!

I'm not a regular CW patron. Looking through these is strange. Is black hair always associated with depression?

I'm going to chime in real quick with my 2 cents...
Thank you for opening the CW Pawn Shop up! I found several items that I wanted. This brings me to my next part of my comment though...
I spent close to $25 worth of CSC and there are still literally at least 50 more CWs in the shop I would love to get my grubby little mitts on, but RL X-mas has me broke as a joke and I simply cannot afford to spend any more on pixels (no matter how gorgeous they may be). Please, please, please do another Pawn Shop CW opening at a different time of year when most of us aren't so cash strapped! Someone previously posted suggesting a X-mas in July kinda sale and that sounds perfect imo.
So, while I am very grateful for you guys opening the shop up at all, I feel like you would clear out a lot more of the merchandise available and make a lot more money for the site if you did this at a different time of year (or did it more than once a year).
That's it, my 2 cents :)

While I am disappointed that I couldn't plan to be on when it opened, I am still glad that I was able to grab a couple of lovely CW's! So many pretty items in the shop, I hope everyone can find something they like. :)

Thank you so much for opening the PS! I wasn't online until later this morning to look through it, but it's always a treat to see what's available. ^_^ I was able to do a little bit of extra lumi shopping that I wasn't expecting to be able to do, and even snagged a couple of cheap things for me.
Kind of echoing a few sentiments here, but I would love to see the pawn shop opened again sometime later in the year, maybe during a bonus weekend again (to drive up more donations for the site!). It could be Christmas in July! XD Having it open during Lumi was a fun treat, but a lot of us are flat broke during this time thanks to Christmas IRL and BF/Lumi shopping. There's a little less financial pressure for most people at other times of the year. Just an idea!

I blew most of my CSC during BF sales. And buying online currency before Christmas? Yeah I have totally money for that. And even if I do, yes I'm totally online on a weekend 9 days before Christmas. /sarcasm.

People who got in late just remember, it is possible it was not in there to begin with -shrugs- There is always next time with fresh stuff!
I am glad it was said that it will be at different times to give everyone a chance^^

While I wasn't online when the shop opened, I appreciate the thought for those in other time zones - having it opening at a different time of day to the usual Subetan afternoon / early evening kind of times meant I had a good chance to get a few things that probably would've sold out otherwise :D

Thanks for the feedback guys! We made sure to do this at a time different from last year (5pm) to give more timezones a shot. We did tease in the news that this was coming in December (https://subeta.net/news/18823). We’ll continue to post news (time sensitive and not) at as many different times of day as we’re able to include our overseas players!

I am kiiiiiiiiind of bummed that it won't be open after Luminaire trees.
Like ... I don't EXPECT to get CSC or CWs under my tree BUT it has been known to happen, and it would be nice to do a little ... you know, boxing day sale lol BUT IT IS FINE BECAUSE I SPEND TOO MUCH OMG
(cries)
@METEORA
Not sure if you know, but you CAN sell during the rest of the year still (I believe)
So while it won't help you right now, it shoulddddddd be an option for you later.

Subeta, Thank you for opening the Pawn Shop. You didn't have to, but you chose to do it, and for that I am grateful.
However, please give us an announcement with the official date and time next year. Thanks again, and have a happy Lumi <3

Logical brain: That's it, you spent your savings, you used what was budgeted, therefore you must now stop buying.
Emotional brain: But there's still like 50+ items I want?!?!?!?!!? Can't we just keep going until the shop is empty???

I'm more slightly annoyed that I can't sell anything bc I only just learned about that feature this year and could have been rid of about 10 CWs I've had since inception.
But other than that, eh, whatever. Thanks.

I'm curious why the decision to only open the PS once a year? There are a MASSIVE number of items in there and it always sells a lot when it opens. Surely it wouldn't do any harm to open it halfway through the year as well as BF/Lumi?

Awww man I wish there had been warning! Still a few cute WL items of mine left but nothing super exciting :c

:( None of the things I really wanted were there. Am assuming they were immediately sold out. Would have been nice if there were more of them available - or the PS opened at a less odd time.

Sigh. Last year we got a heads up on the time when it would open and I could plan on trying to be there. No idea if I missed anything I might have really wanted since it was open for hours while I slept.
Grats to everyone else who was around and found big wishes though.

Personally I think that if they had stated the time the CW pawn shop would open in advance the site would have crashed.

I'm browsing the pawn shop and getting bored already haha.
That being said: don't care about the random opening. Maybe staff saw an opportunity with a dip of user logged at the time (less lag?)
But the crippling lags have been incredible these days. Wardrobe not loading, forum post not loading until you do several hard refresh, 502 ...
I hope things will get better but I highly doubt it, especially with the pawn shop opening.

People, stop your fucking whining.
It is almost Christmas. That means being happy for what you have, not for what you missed.
Subeta Team, thank your for opening the shop! Even though I am in a completely different timezone, I managed to get one item from my wishlist. And yes, that makes me very happy!
Happy holidays everyone!
I hope some of you will remember what the holiday season is all about.

Thanks for the purchase! Here is your

I didn't think I'd manage to snatch anything from my wishlist as I'm on a completely different timezone (Germany), but I got something =^.^=
And yes, it was stated ever since the announcement of the BF sale, that the CW Pawn Shop would be opened this year, around the Cash Shop bonus weekend and before Lumineve... but it's impossible to get it "right" for everybody, right? '^^

Hint that it will be open during Lumi doesn't count. Still would require to be here 24/7 to catch it. Opening it like that favors those that are online at the very moment, and since items are usually in single copy, it's quite a big favor.
Last year we had exact date and hour and you know what? Site didn't die. It dies now because it's been completely crappy whole month or even longer, it's not just caused by the Pawn opening. It wasn't announced and still it's barely working, so the argument that announcing would cause the lag is pretty useless.

@Hamlet
not sure if there is the need for one.
It's a news announcment.
I tend to read over comments - if there are not to many
Plus living in germany so not in the fitting time zone I am sort of used to not being on when things happen.
So I (for me) do not see a reason to complain about something I can not change.
Wondering...
IF there had been an official announcment...
the site would probably have crashed, since all would have been stalking the shop and then there would also have been complains.
Either way, people complain.
Not sure, why....
only pixels and because there are users from all over the world it can never be done "fair"
I am still happy, it is open.

@Beren
Maybe because not everyone reads news post comments?
Congrats you got a reply from Amber telling you when it was. I don’t understand how you getting a hint from Amber in a comments section of a news post makes it an official announcement? You can’t link to an official announcement because there wasn’t one, plain and simple.

Ah thank you. Hiding a hint in comments and assuming people will see it is kinda crappy though. I took the ‘That’ll be a Luminaire treat.’ in that news post as it would be close to Christmas so wasn’t expecting it so soon. Am still extremely pissed at the lack of official announcement.

Oh wow, pawn shop is pretty cool =)
Its the first time i see this xD
Can someone explain me how that works?
Because some said they missed an item, how is that possible?
Is there only one copy of each?
Will there new items be added? And do the creator of the items have to sell them at the pawnshop? =)
Some wl items catched my eye, maybe i will buy one =)

Honestly I don't care that you guys decided to open the pawn shop while I was sleeping (3am my time)
I don't care that I don't have CSC to spend anyway.
What I DO care about is the crippling LAG. I'ts been like this for several weeks, today is even worse!!!
Please, for the love of Luminaire (BAH HUMBUG) please, please do something to make the site playable again! :(

Alright now that I'm more awake, I'm gonna gripe a little bit.
First off, the lack of a warning really wasn't the most frustrating part. It was the fact that the shop opened while the site can't even contain 800-1000 users online at a time. I really still cannot believe that lag is an issue on this website, especially after we just went down for maintenance and a server move. And that lasted an entire day. Are you kidding me? Get your shit together subeta. Its almost 2019 and fucking NEOPETS still loads better than this. Get. it. together.
Secondly, a lot of people are complaining about the lack of a warning. For me, this is a minor gripe. We're never really warned or told about these things, we can only expect them to happen. HOWEVER, I can only imagine that no definitive date or time was given for when the cash shop would be open strictly to avoid having an overload of users online, which would then make even buying or loading the pawn shop even more frustrating and inconvenient. Which brings me back to point one. Fix the fucking lag! If you just fixed this simple issue, telling users when the pawn shop would open probably would have been on the agenda. I understand that because of the lag, corners have to be cut. But again, this should have been taken care of and handled better. I worked a 12 hour shift today. I am NOT happy. And I am even more upset that I couldn't even get a heads up on the availability.
A really minor gripe. Having to wait five minutes. If I wanted to do this between every item I purchased, I would have actually gone Christmas shopping between stores. But the reason this gripe is minor is because it is necessary. This was clearly done as a way to make it fair for everyone to get a chance to buy something they wanted. As bad as it sounds, there are greedy people and resellers galore on this website. Which is why I wasn't too frustrated with the five minutes. This gets a pass.
Ok now lets talk about the good stuff. Not being able to sell anything during the sale. NICE. This was the best thing that could ever be done! The last time the pawn shop was open, people were buying all the cheap items and then reselling them to the shop to get more CSC, which inflated everything in the damn shop back to a normal set price. You know how annoying that was? Very. I'm so glad this was changed. Good job!
Lastly, the inclusion of a wishlist search. Oh my god thank you. Thank you so much for this feature. I was able to get some items out of the shop that I didn't even think would be in there, let alone would I have the heart to sift through 1000+ items even with the layer sorting feature. Another good addition. And... thats all I have to say honestly. I'm happy with what I snagged from the shop. I wish I could have been on earlier to get what I could have missed or really been after, but I can't complain. Who knows when the shop will ever open again after so many complaints from users last time about how it was run. But this year was pretty good.
A few things I was able to get:
Thank you Subeta. You took half my Christmas money but it was well spent!

@Varsna no problem! Considering how the site was preforming 30 min in (I couldn't load a single page for 4 minutes) I would unerstand fear of people refreshing and camping for hours to the extend where opening the shop wouldn't be problem-free even before it actually opens. We need to let people do their mistakes, it's the only path to learn. We can voice our frustration and have ideas for next time, an open discussion, but respectfully.
I'm not amused other as I missed my biggest want haha. It's only pixels though.
While reading through the black friday posts people seemed pleased with pawn shop being moved to december in connection to bonus weekend. That's the feedback subeta received.
It's hard to find a golden solution :(

but i agree like...i'm a salty about it but i'll live, and hopefully in future this sort of thing gives staff a better idea with what works out best for the site load and for the CSC sales, too (since that's important for the site even if it's not for our wallets GUIWEHG)

Why open the CW pawn shop when the site is in a wheelchair and barely moves? and why haven't we been warned? Some of us have to spend the last money we had because we hope to get at least an item from there and not everyone gets paid on the 15th... And just a week? not even covering Christmas day?
Well played subeta, well played! /pawn/pun intended >.>

@Varsna I understand your arguments and I agree. I think there as some drama last year as well around it.
For example
here
"does that mean CW Pawn will be opened after cash shop bonus weekend?
I am really looking forward to this, since my friends all seem to have a expensive taste they share with a lot of others..."
answer from Amber
"Yes! I’m going to make the bonus weekend a little earlier in December so it all matches up."
I mean, it was mentioned, but a better solution would be to make it more official.

@manipulation
im sorry to bug you but do you remember where the warning was? ;; i just looked thru all the december news posts and couldn't find it; i do remember that in the black friday post (one of them wugwhg i don't know which) there was a comment way in there about it being in december, but folks have been saying/even amber said she hinted after (?) the bonus weekend, and i didn't see that anywhere OTL i just want to know where i should be looking
also!! for what it's worth, last year they told us what day and time the pawn shop was opening; i'm not certain if that was really unpopular or if it was decided that staff didn't want to do it that way again? but it was how it was done last so i think it's fair that people expected it to be similar, or even similar to how other events are planned and announced.

Yay! And hopefully with it being open for so long, a lot of these items will end up back in circulation. :)

Fortunately I have a night work schedule .-. I got some really awesome things, scooped up a few friends' privates, and hoarded some fun new stuff to gift.
Not a fan of the lag. Feeling bad for my friends who are sleeping ;;
Very excited about this:

There was only one of the WL items I was wanting in there this year, and while I had to spend some sP on some CSC's to finish out the last bit, I now have the [icon="Fire Dog Charms"] that I've been chasing. :)
Thanks again, guys!

Can the site handle the pawn shop being open right now? There's been so much lag and forum issues lately, when really makes the site hard to enjoy, with little word from Staff.

This is only the second time I've ever bought any custom wearables, so I didn't have anything on my wishlist.
Just grabbed a handful of cool looking items! :D Super fun!

@Amber,
thanks so much!
I remembered your warning.
(as actually it was me you answered to last month before BF)
I do not think this has to be announced days in advance.
Whenever sometthing happens, there will always be peopel, who are not online.
My sister (who is also playing on here, but has a differnet schedule then myself) and I had aggreed, that whoever is online will call the other one, if the shop opnes.
Today at 6 a.m. my phone rang - woke me up (luckily just the phone in my study, where I am sleeping, due to a cold)
and told the very dirsupted me "pawwn shop is open"
so for those whp complain,
there WERE several warnings before.
honestly I do not need to know the exact date, when it's open.
I am strictly sticking to WL items (friends go first)
and I am pretty sure that there will still be enough nice stuff in there
thanks so much!

While I am happy to have the opportunity to finally get some of these items for cheaper than usual, I do agree that the sudden release (without at least two days warning) was and is unfair to those who may not be on to grab their items now. Plus, just like with Black Friday, despite trying to save (and at that point had 800 stored,) it didn't go far enough; csc doesn't go far enough and I'll be forced to buy CSC in order to get some of my wishes, not all. (There's a whole six pages of WL, items for me to try and decide between and christ, I'd better hurry for it's already down to five.)
This has been a problem with CSC and the site in general and it's one I don't care for. I never cared for the pawnshop to begin with for it essentially deletes the item while giving too little CSC in return, doubly so when the option to purchase items was taken away (well over a year ago now.) I don't care for how this site forces me to spend anywhere from $30 - $100 dollars, (which more like $50-$150CDN) just to make the tiniest dent in my wish lists and don't even get me started on the beyond overpriced entry fee one needs to pay to get their item on the site in the first place.
TL;DR: I shouldn't have to spend the same I would on a Triple A game title in order to get a measly five to six items off a 200-300 item wish list. I should get at least ten for the amount of money I'm spending. (Yes, CW's should be less than five dollars, I said it.)
The CSC/CW system is broken and you know it's broken. There has been very little done to improve it aside from the very recent Morty Card upgrade but even that was extremely minimal considering how essential CSC is for playing. (While survivable as a free user, the site becomes three times the work load without a gold account and it's privileges, taking literally months to earn 500csc, and that's just for a month of GA privileges, never mind earning any money towards a CW. Unless you're an artist, of course.) I can get more for my money via mobile games, that's how broken this system is and I don't think you're going to fix it because this way is certainly the wealthier option for you.

Bought five things including 
which I thought I'd never get! One thing I wanted someone grabbed before I could get it. Three more items I want in the shop, but I'm out of CSC including the 175 I bought since the sale started.
Thanks for something starting at a time convenient to me here in eastern Europe for a change!

Be prepared for many angry people in the morning. Not being able to prepare in terms of CSC or opening time, especially when so many rare/limited CWs will be scooped up by the time they get on, will be a very controversial act to many. I get opening it suddenly so that it's a bit more luck than wealth based, but many aren't going to see it like that. It just makes it so that a few can scoop up many CWs easier than everyone getting 1-2 good things.
I was lucky enough to be here, but you can bet if I hadn't and missed something I'd been looking for forever, I would have many words to say.
That's not to say that I don't appreciate the ability to get these, since it's really generous to allow it to begin with! I just think that maybe the way this was implemented wasn't super ideal, and the results of it will be pretty apparent in community opinion.
Anyway back to buying CWs lmao
