Selling Cove/Shop Spaces??

toebeans • 1 week ago

So, I've been thinking about this for a long time, and I'm just now bringing it up. Since we can buy spaces to expand our coves and shops, we should also have an option to sell the space and get our EC back- at least half.


This would be helpful in many ways:
✧ Obtain back EC spent on shop/cove spaces that are no longer in use
✧ Obtain back EC if you plan to delete an account or downsize
✧ This could also work if galleries have a space limit (I'm unsure)
✧ Move around creatures easier between accounts
✧ Expand one account for mass storage while keeping main/others smaller


Pings! Please ping your friends

I would Definitely Back this! ✌️😄

I 'Overbought' Loads of Extra space for my Main Account (This one! @Lexian) and now that I realise how much I'm struggling to Feed more than a handful of Beasties each day, it makes sense being able to get a few EC back to spend where it's more needed! (A Good Example is @Lockhart where I put my Fully Evolved Beasties once I've raised them - so having a few extra coins available to put into Their Storage would be Very Useful!) 💚

Right? This used to be my only account for a long time, and I have a lot more spaces than I need on this account, and I need more on my storage side :c

Not sure I'd ever use this feature, but I could see where others would. Even if it was getting back even a fraction of the price it would be nice. (like Tim's)

Would be so nice to be able to get some of that EC back if deleting a side.

Not to be a naysayer, but I can't see this being implemented though, as it would be something that would pull from the site economy. It's EC that was already spent.
I know, in theory it would be invested back into other spaces, but you'd have people like me who would just put it into the bank to collect more interest.

(personally I'm just hoping for one flat rate per cove space, or more free spaces as a given each year, not something we have to collect from a special event.)

(And I know I personally wouldn't ever use a Sell Space feature, because I hoard creatures far too much, and have even had to have people I trust hold a few for me while I shuffle things around at times until i could expand more.
And I have a goal of many more Shop spaces. And even when i haven't restocked in a while, when i get on a stocking binge I get obsessed and fill it up quickly and am sad I run out of spots and am left with items sitting in my Inventory I want to stock. lol.)

@toebeans
I support this idea, you've made some great points! Thank you for the ping. :-D

Snowy is probably right though. I think buying spaces is meant to be pricey so as to be a money sink. [sob] But it would be really lovely to have the option to get half or at least some percentage back. I know I'd be happy to use this feature!

I absolutely support the idea

Especially if you have different shops on different accounts and close one or aren't selling enough to make it worth it
