Due to neverending problems, all Free Shops (user run) have been changed to Gallerys.
You can no longer create, or have a free shop. If you wish to donate your items, use the donation option.
Also, you can create trades and give away items that way.

i see where people wanted everyone to have the chance to get an item or 2, but come on now, they were free shops... which free is free... i don't see where people really could complain it was a risk they took when they put valuable things up for free. It's like going to sams club... some people make a dinner out of all the free samples.

<br>Yes but as I said, I hate the autopricer. I still do it the old fashioned way and that's my choice. <img src=/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_raspberry.gif border=0> And again, it's their shop. They can price any item for WHATEVER THEY WISH! If it's not charitable people, it's price gougers. No matter how you slice it, you're going to be stuck buying things for cheap. Deal with it. Stop being a controller of free will.

<br>I think that would've led to people creating more mules, to try and get around the restriction. As if they could get away with it. No matter HOW you slice it, someone is going to pay here.

I wish they could've stayed, but the complaints they caused were getting ridiculous. If at all possible, I think a drop-down menu limiting the number of purchases per user per day would be great; I suppose the free shops will be down awhile even that way though.
<br>I don't think 1 sp shops are the solution..And no, I'm not saying this because of the autopricer. They'd just be guaranteed to be even more worthless to the people who actually need cheap items than free shops were. Why? They can be found on a search of the regular market, and as seen here, users who don't -need- the item for 1sp are talking about buying it up just to get it out of the way. I'm not saying that's a crime, I don't blame them..Just a warning to 1 sp shop owners; there's even less of a point than with free shops.

I always check my autopricing stuff, its not as hard as you think. So let people price at 1sP, its the person's fault for not looking at the price and hitting the "No Change" thing.

NoirRaven, do you have an autopricer? It's just much easier to click the button than to have to root through everything because someone wants to have a 1sP shop.
<br>
<br>I never had a free shop. If I wanted someone to have something for free, I donated it.
<br>
<br>The economy on here is seriously screwed. Look how many Glittery Notebooks I have in my one shop. It's insane.
<br>Having to buy out idiots is a pain in the butt and shouldn't even have to be done to stabalize the economy.
<br>
<br>MY POINT: 1sP and dropping prices ridiculously low so someone can have them for pretty much nothing, DONATE IT.
<br>IT REALLY IS THAT EASY.

<br>EXACTLY! Pfft. This is why I don't use the autopricer. So many items get downgraded in price too quickly because EVERYONE uses that god damn thing.

The autopricer is already pretty much useless because of price gougers. When someone drops a price by like 65% and then a bunch of abesent minded autopricers jump on the bandwagon without actually looking, then everything just drops rediculously. I don't even bother with the autopricer anymore. If I do it manually and there's only a few items that are rediculously cheaper, then I just buy them out.

Regardless of how many problems Free Shops caused, they were still /FREE/ shops... and therefore, up for anyone to come and raid. If you did not like having people take as much as they wanted, you could have created Trades for giveaways instead. *shrug* I guess that's just my opinion, though I can't see this solving anything. There will still be problems, only now with 1sP shops and how they mess up the Autopricer or are killing the economy.

Tis probably for the best. ^^;
<br>
<br>And remember, the autopricer *shows* you the new prices before you agree to autoprice your items. So as long as you take a few seconds to scan over it, you can avoid losing sp.
<br>Taking a little bit more time to change a handful of prices is a small price to pay for not having to look up every single item on the shop search like non-GA users must. o-O
