Item Shops / Galleries + Item Searches

bun • 25 September 2014 at 1:24 PM

Could we have item shops and galleries?

You sell items as a specific price (In EC) in your shop, and you display items in your galleries.

You can increase shop / gallery sizes by upgrading them (similar to cove sizes).

Search for items in shops or galleries you want to buy or find through the Item Search option.

(The only reason I want item galleries is so I can organize items. I want to collect plushies, but it really gets on my nerves that you can't organize them into colors when you use it on a creature.)

Instead of the EC going directly to the bank, there could be a "shop bank," so that you can see how much you make. You could then withdraw the EC from the shop and put it into the regular bank if you wish.
There could also be a log that tells you when an item is sold and for how much, along with a stat that tells you the total sales of your shop overall.

Maybe some sort of organization in either color or alphabetical order in the item collections for people like you and me who want everything specific.

I think item collections are already basically galleries so we wouldn't need those. I wouldn't mind shops! That would be great 😊

I totally agree with both the shops and the galleries ideas.

That's true. c:

I'm quite the perfectionist though, when it comes to organizing things. xD

@crunchyoreo25
I'll add your idea in, if that's alright. ^-^

Maybe an option to organize collections would work instead of galleries 😊

Or that would work as well. c:

So, basically what Neopets does?

Not a bad idea at all -- The economy & buying/selling is half the fun of that game. The way things are now (Here), buying/selling is a very iffy/unsure process.

Edit: Aside, EggCave has been making more efforts quite lately to be "on par" with other pet sites, such as shops and item trades. I don't see this as any form of plagiarism -- But similarities, and good ones at that.

Nobody will blame the site if it takes inspiration from Neopets (Or elsewhere), especially if it' something common like user shops or collections -- Both Mario and Sonic can jump!

Yes, basically. 😋 Though it's not just Neopets that has this system.

I think the galleries would just be like the item collections but I wish there was a way we could organize them on our critters. Maybe some sort of organization in either color or alphabetical order in the item collections for people like you and me who want everything specific.

As for the shops, I can see it happening. I would like to put things in a place where they can be seen by a lot of people at the same time and maybe are less priced than those in other places. I guess I wouldn't mind a shop too much but then maybe the item trading center would go down...
