Yeah I know we shouldn't complain about free stuff, it just would have been nice to get at least one item I wanted and kept. The few valuables I sold and the rest got fragged. Maybe next year will be better. But thanks for frag stuff to get crystals.
Hello
I feel like when it first opened up, I was getting alot of great and valuable items, but then that started to become less apparent as the days went by... lol. Oh well, I miss it! Free stuff is free stuff.
Flygon
It was opened on November 17th so probably that's why
StarShadow
Congrats to debilee and the others who got some good stuff. I got a couple valuable items to sell but the rest was cheap stuff to frag. Would have liked to have gotten at least 1 WL item, csc card or gold medal, something really good worth spending all that time clicking. Maybe next year.

I couldn't really be on much, but I did okay. Two foods that Hedwig hadn't eaten, a beanbag that wasn't in my collection, a retired Subeautique item, a Cash Shop skirt, a LOT of elixirs, and a REALLY expensive plushie!
DebiLee
To the people down there asking, those giftboxes should never really have ended up in there, actually. I was disappointed forever ago when a few people did get them somehow at first and then I couldn't get them for in my Gallery after they had already added them to theirs. So, either it sits there or you end up deleting it. I would have bought some of them, too, were it possible.

I stalked the shop for the past two days, and I ended up getting quite a few items that were worth at least 70,000, and I even got several things that were millions!!! I'm so shocked and happy that I ended up getting some really great items. Thank you, and I can't wait for the next one. :)
Freakshow
Thank you for the free items! ^^ I appreciate it, especially the food goodies, nomnomnom!!
DebiLee
It only opened about a half day early, the afternoon of the 24th, so that isn't really an explanation. In the past, only one of each item stocked, too, no matter what it was, so that it almost always cleared (except in the middle of the night occasionally) and, so, never became unwieldy.
Amaranta
Junk, junk, junk... ((

I was overjoyed to hear the shop was open this year, but after a day I was grestly disappointed to see it was only open for three days. I think from now on it should be open all week. I only managed about ten grabs yhis time, too busy these days.
indica
i mostly got fragment fodder this year but i also got a best in show ribbon which gave me a huge wearable llama so that owns bones tbh
SheDevil
Now its empty and we only have a few minutes left. :(
Linnet
@Amber Is it intentional that there's so much stuff stocked in the free shop at once? It's a little late to matter much now, but there's more items in there than I can count, and doing some quick estimates based on the size of my scrollbar there's currently over 1000 unique items stocked in the free shop. (That's not accounting for multiple units of a given item- I also notice a lot of stuff with upwards of 5 units each.) From past years I remember it typically emptying out a lot faster, so I'm wondering if something's gone a little off?
Britney
i wish we had one more day lol
just2b
had one really awesome score; but that's on my phone - on laptop I click a box and it refreshed the store and when I click on it twice the zapped pet yells at me "to wait" before buying something else when all I'm trying to do is get one something.
capper09
i stop visit there, got only junk... even its' free stuff, is dissapointed, last years we have the chance to find fine stuff, but now...
Amber STAFF
@pizza HOW U READ THAT
Jai
Is it just me, or have most of the items been junk? I haven't gotten anything good this year, as opposed to previous years.
LisaJean1003
@Amber Thanks so much for all you do. Is there a way to donate to the free shop stock? I save stuff all year for Lumi exchanges and this year I had over 300 items left over that I dumped in the donation center. I would've gladly donated to the free shop.

Thanks again for all you do and I just was curious.
egg
@Amber actually i can’t ARE U HAPPY NOW U BULLY????!?

THIS IS WHY U DONT GET CHRISTMAS PRESENTS
Kismet
I am so happy this is a thing! I grabbed a Delish hair that's been on my wishlist for a while the other day. So happy. T-T
clatskani
Guys
It opened early so its closing early.
Amber STAFF
@pizza can you read
Sydney
Boo nothing but junk this year I haven’t received anything but cheap junk
egg
I thought the Free Shop was open until New Years? :c
StarShadow
Yeah I always thought the free shop was for new years. Maybe it will open again then? And still getting mostly junk items for fragging. I also have had better luck in the donation center, lots of scratch cards in there the past few days.
Ligress
All The things I’ve gotten are like ...junk? :’(
Had better luck in donation though, thanks @KEN xD
Inari
I just got a
Recycled Glass Suncatcher
:open_mouth:
Guess that compensates the junk I've gotten, so thank you =^.^=
kaleidoscope
Thanks for the Free Shop!

Also, is there a reason why the shop wont be open past today? I know NY goods start rolling out but I just thought it was a bit strange for it to be around only for 3-4 days. Not that I'm complaining just thought I'd ask as I thought the FS always stayed open a week. Maybe I'm thinking of something else entirely though.
Diana_Marie
Has anyone gotten any CSC? I know one person got a 12 month.
StarShadow
"I accept 0 sP! Paper has been put in your items."
Seriously? They're getting cheap when they have to put note paper in the shop. ;)
StarShadow
Last year or was it the year before they put so many Melody items into the Free shop that prices plummeted to almost nothing and people were selling them for 1 SP. So hope they don't put too many in there.
Nicole
Any chance at Melody items being thrown into the Free Shop? I like getting duplicates of the items when I can. :) So I can have one for a gallery and one for my wardrobe or minion zoo or whatever.
StarShadow
Oh by the way I had an old Purple-N-Pink Giftwrap Set and Red Striped Wrapping Paper in my vault and when I took them out and clicked use item I got 10K for each.
StarShadow
I've gotten a couple valuable items but nothing I wanted to keep like CSC card or gold medal. Mostly just junk for fragging. And it's kinda mean to give people gift boxes they can't do anything with. Those should be deleted from the pool. But, again, yay for free stuff I can frag for crystals. ;)
Sunfire103
I did finally catch something other than items that restock. Now the fun part is to actually trade it/sell it for something I want ^_^

This had become my new years eve tradition to refresh the free shop.
FCoD
Thank you for the free stuff. :)
Linoko
Thanks for the free stuff! :D
eliz
I agree with @Sunfire103 that it seems really fast! Also agree about the influx of junk the past two years. I barely got to grab anything since it's been the holidays/work/craziness and I haven't been online. Still appreciate the shop and all the work you put into it, despite my minor complaints xP
Desilyna
Wow, you can get CSC cards, gold accounts, and items worth millions in there??? I've been getting items worth a few hundred to a few thousand. Lol
Aiyana
thanks for letting us know :)
Phayom
Meh. All Free Shop has this year is fraggables..:( It used to be kind of exciting but last two years I keep getting junk only so..
Saturnine
I like how there's an influx of "I got a box".....a box in a box.
Floozie
Ooo, I just got an
April 2012 Collection
! That was really nice!
Ziva
@Amber
I just received a
Pretty Cash Shop Gift Box
but I cannot open it....
is this a bug or?... (:
Beren
@Ripster dread... I would need it for Lale s TC sigh
HYPEBEAST
@StarShadow @Beren

Unfortunately you can't even sell or trade the box. You can only delete it since opening it isn't possible. Such cruel Gift!
Beren
@Ripster if you wanna sell it, I'd take it!
Just SMail or comment me.
StarShadow
@Ripster
You can't open it. We used to have to buy wrapping paper and gift boxes to send gifts until they changed it so that you just pick one now. I still have a few of the wrapping paper in my vault (like the Red Striped Wrapping Paper). Guess all we can do with them now is sell them.
Maniac
been getting nothing but junk so i just kinda quit
Lighthouse
Oh no! I've been working all week.
-stalks the free store-
HYPEBEAST
Got a
Chocolate Mint Giftbox


But when I try to open the it I get an error message saying
"Oh No!
That is not your gift!"
Rookie
I wasn't getting much luck on the first day, but after that I've gotten some nice items. Thanks so much! Always fun when the Free Shop pops up. I like the surprises.
Ginseng
Thank you staff, and especially Amber, for opening up and taking the time to refill the free shop! ♥

I haven't managed to snag any wishlist items, but I still got some really nice stuff to add to my wardrobe and some others to sell. :)
Allexandre
Thank you so much for the Free Shop!!! :)
Ploomy
@princezz

The free shop, that’s why I thought I’d ask here
Nicole
@Princezz from the free shop.
Trees
@Ploomy
@Nicole

Did you get them from the Free Shop or the Gift Centre? And if it's the Gift Centre, did it say who they were from?
Ploomy
@Nicole I get the same message, I even tried deleting it and got the same error message :]
Nicole
@Ploomy I just got a
Emerald Striped Giftbox
and the only options are to delete or open gift and when I say open gift it gives me an error that it's not my gift.
capper09
restock 24 min ago... yesterday only junk, today only junk, fraggis happy, but not mama... ty for open again and remind
Kinky
To answer a lot of questions about the shop stocking, the Staff restock it manually. If you look at the other free shop thread, we all thought it was broken, but it wasn't. They were all busy at the time. It doesn't automatically restock, from what I understand. If there's nothing in there, give it a bit. They'll restock it eventually :).
Sunfire103
That seems really fast... missed out on last 2 days because wasn't at home much at all :/
Ewok
Ahh bummer, I thought for most part of the day that it was closed, only managed to catch things twice today. (In European morning!)
Leonie
Shame, so far each time i check the shop it's empty :(
juniper
Oh wow I would love to have that cloak in the news post. :)
Ploomy
I got a Rose Snowdrift Giftbox, but I can’t do anything with it. Has anyone else got one?
serinde
@Snowwall You're welcome (:
Snowwall
@serinde
Attempts at click 'n holding bring up an assortment of context menus or zoom out, but the roundabout shop way worked! Thanks ?

Thanks for the goodies!
Beren
@Amber thanks for putting more in!
Have a merry luminaire

and thank you for the warning
Alchemida
Thank you for the notification ^^
We really appreciate you guys for all you've done <3
Luce
Love the free shop. Thanks guys :)
serinde
@Snowwall You can go to Commerce, Your Shops from there, shop you want, and then it'll have QS in options, if you can't hover. However, when I'm on mobile, I have hover when I do a "tap and hold" on the thing I want, not just tap.
Dracona
A few times it's restocked with nothing. I only JUST got my first item 2 minutes ago.
Snowwall
I can't get anything because inventory is full. I can't vault my inventory because QS appears in the menu, but I'm on mobile and can't "hover", only "click" and get sent somewhere long before I can open the relevant submenu. I am very sad.
Amber STAFF
@Zimt Because it was out of items in the pool it grabs from until maybe 45 minutes ago haha.
FashPuma
Will it be back for New Years?
Johnny_673
@Amber
I stalk the shop a lot and I know the items go fast, but sometimes it says "restocked now" and there are no items? I keep refreshing so it's impossible that all items got bought in less than 1 second
Zimt
@Amber yeah, I get it. But with 1200+ users it was fully stocked, so why doesn't it work out with only 800+ users? ;)
Amber STAFF
@Zimt THere are 800+ users on and a lot of people are going to the Free Shop. Of course it's going to sell out quick ;)
Zimt
A few hours ago, it worked perfectly fine. Now, with 400 less! users online, it sells out in a second (if it restocks at all)
Is this on purpose, or is it broken again?
Amber STAFF
@Ziva It's out of stock because everyone got everything, but it still has a lot of items it'll pull from. :) Over night, there was literally nothing in the pool haha.
Ark
O_O should we be anticipating something special for the new year? (aside from the new year gnfjkdngjkdfn)
Ziva
@Amber
do you have to restock the free shop manually?
Because it's already out of stock again haha
springblom
ohhh, so it is open again. Woo! I was thinking maybe I missed it all. hehe. YAY!
MarchOnOff
@Amber
Thank you, Santa ;) :heart:
SpiritImmortal
Aww already? >:
Oh well, thanks for the heads up.
Amber STAFF
@MarchOnOff There's never been a set amount of time it's been open (like always a week or wahtever). :) I've added a lot of Cash Shop and other stuff for the last two days so enjoy!
Beren
thank you so much for the warning!
Hope you guys had a very merry luminaire
Virtual
Thanks for adding more :)
MarchOnOff
There hasn't been anything in it since last night and adding the brok'd period, we kinda missed a whole day is not more. But hey, at least it was there...thanks...
ulalena
Oh? Does it come back for New Year then? Love the chance game!
Owley
It's always out of stock lol.
Amber STAFF
@Ziva Y'all went through the stock, so I just added more. That's why you weren't seeing anything all night haha
Teratophreakia
Maybe we're just super slow at getting them lol
Ford
