    True, but cost a few K. And since I'm not that active(site only works for a few hours if that when home), I bet others will buy it first.

    I GOT DIBS.

    agreed, things will be harder to get now. I understand the sentiment. The link for my VB music broke, and i deleted the song in hopes to put another one there. I cant make another song there without the 10k mins D: I feel cheated.

    if you're lucky you might be able to pick one up from the trade center (when reimplemented) later.

    Oh right! Forgot to mention that!

    jon is working on a trade center, too. Along with the mineral exchange, this is another feature we're hoping to bring back. It will put a lot of the fun back into the shop, and not just make it a free for all spaz in the shop. But, I'm going to say this ahead of time, if things get sold out that you wanted, don't complain. Things get sold out, people make more posts, life happens. REGARDLESS, happy shopping ^ ^

    Yeah really, thank you LK, thanks man, I knew we could count on someone doing it. :p

    By this, do you mean collectibles, or profile items? Or perhaps both? The more items, the more diverse they shop will be, so you guys will get a lot more satisfaction, use, and thanks for just a little more effort.

    This should have been active the whole time IMO, guys should have stayed tough on the spammers, and things might not have turned out as spammy. It kind of ruined the raffle for my clan too, since Fenix decided not to help us transfer minerals. Also, sweet, I get to taunt nubs with one mineral gifts again. Mwuhahah

    Another words, don't buy much for now guys, if things are still bring tweaked all the time, it would be bad to get something, pay for it, the have Jon decide it shouldn't be there, and have it gone from your inventory, along with the mins for it. Just horde for now.

    Weren't you the only person to have it anyway? I think it really should be a lot cheaper then 20k, that's just ridiculous, considering we could do it for from before we came to VB.

    Make sure rules are implemented, such as only being able to sell something for a certain percentage of it's original value, not being able to sell more then one item of a type at a time. And not being able to sell more then a quarter of the total number of items of that type. To keep inflation down, and to stop from making monetary classes. Some ppl got seriously rich exploiting the trade center.

    idk about profile items, kerwyn was tweaking those, i mean all the collectibles.

    dark, the thing is, we didn't know how to keep the mineral system there. Jon said the whole vB system was different than the old one, so he's been working on trying to figure things out. It's all about coding and formatting, both of which are different for vB.

    No, we're not going to do another wipe, i guarantee this. I mean, things being tweaked like layout, additional pets, etc. not the current prices or the current pets we have for sale right now.

    hah, yes i was the only person to have it. and yes, i thought it was over priced, i just had mins to waste at the time.

    and i'll talk to jon about it, can't say i was sure of how it worked before. I wasn't a zealous shop user back in the old forum layout.

    Alright. *hopes to get his black book back*

    I see, sorry to say it then. How is Jon learning? Just screwing around on some other site, or someone teaching him? I'm still looking forward to taunting the nubs. hehe

    I didn't mean the whole shop, I meant a specific item, like say someone wants profile music, pays 20k, then Jon decides to make it free for everyone, the person loses their item, everyone gets to do it, and he/she is out 20k. If erasing an item is something that must be done, please give the mins back to ppl who have bought it.

    Lucky, is that item going to get a price cut, cause it was free originally (sorry I keep dwelling on this, but it's true), you even had music on your profile when you were new.

    Well, you may have been here for a year, but you're not a forum elder like I am, the shop was sort of dying when you joined.

    Speaking of elders, there's like 7 of us that are on at all anymore. I should start a user group. Bigger then GM's "First 100 members". Thoughts on this anyone? To my wall if you do.

    when you get like a million mins, right? =P

    Stop taunting newbies, it's mean XP
    also, he's just trying out the things, no doubt reading the giant God knows how big book on how to use it. The shop got rewiped (remember i fixed it then it took all the 1st edition items away?) because jon didn't know there was a reset on it. so we're still learning everything about how fun and different (completely evil) vB is.

    ahh, I see what you mean. idk if the music player is going to stay thought, can't find it in shop.

    haha, that'd's be lol


    respect your youngers!

    how about the 'all the members after the first 100' user group? :p

    It was like 8k last time, though GM gave me mine. So I got it for free. Hahaha

    I can taunt them if I want. Maddie makes me anyway. *whip cracks* OW!

    That had to be funny, Uh Jon, there is a reset on this. *facepalm* Rofllmaool. There is a book on how to use VB? Or some help file?

    The music player was in the wrong section for the type of item it is.

    Why? What have they done to deserve it?

    Uh no, I don't think so. I'm thinking the first two months members group.

    Well, time to start saving up for zerg pets. I'm sure the older members remember me trying to sell my protoss pets when the zerg was shown, but the move to the new format without the trade center ment I was only able to sell a few of them before I was unable to sell them all. That was also how I saved up for my queen.

    what?

    All I did was try to sell them... I didn't force anyone to buy them. I just wanted to get rid of them while still be able to buy zerg pets. Even sold then for a discount from shop price(sold Carrier for 6k when it normally cost 8k).

    okay, dunno all the details, but a new feature in this is you get minerals for unediting or editing certain parts of your post. like, take things away,it deducts minerals. add thing,s it adds them.

    Which is cool, cause before, when you added something with an edit, you didn't get mins for it at all, and I edit things in a lot, so I got screwed out of a lot of mins. Maybe that's why I have so many now.

    Okay, good news! The trade center is back! It's not the best system right now as it took quite a bit of tweaking to get the darn thing to work, but it IS functional.

    Unfortunately there is not yet any "central listing" yet, but you guys will have to figure out what is working and what is not so I can continue to upgrade it.

    Right now you just click on the shop link and go to "For Sale" and you will see a list at the bottom of your potential items for sale. You can then set the price and put it on the market. Others can then visit their page (or yours, I'm not sure if my parsing code works on everyone's page or just yours) and purchase those items. The price MUST be in minerals, so don't put in text or you might screw my code. Or more likely lose your item!

    Enjoy!
