Legacy Sell Gifts back

[Freekoid]

Note: I jumped in on someone's thread and it was quite rude of me so ive edited and placed it here.

I noticed a few suggested features back about displaying certain gifts in postbit and having counts of how many items you have, if this is so then that would make each item a column in a database table making the gift placeable or removable.

The suggestion would be what about selling the item back to the shop for a 50% reduction on what you bought it for or even pawn your gifts back.

Its basically a reversal of buy but depict which gift you send back.

You know like you do on RPG when you have too much of one item, you sell it back..

I think that made sense.

I doubt we'd implement this for Gifts, since they're supposed to be presents from other players. Wouldn't you feel sorta insulted if someone gave you a gift and you asked for the receipt?

We might do it for Items though, and possibly even a time-limited buy-back for the full purchase price. This would be configurable per-item, so you could turn it off for "can access <sensitive content x>" items and leave it enabled for "buy coloured username" etc

Ah, Yes, items could be better, as I said in a different thread, the steal chance set at 25% and bought 4 times makes that user/member invincible.

So this could be good, although I guess you would set this item at 'Buy Once' level.

If this does indeed become an upgrade in a newer version I would like to reset that item again, to make it more fair on others as they are already at 100% level!

We will be implementing a reset function in the next version

I'll see if we can make it per-item, though that may end up becoming too involved - we shall see

We'll also implement a "unique" flag for items, so that they can only be bought once.

I like the ideas in this

We're currently using VBshop Pro and most of our "items" are classified as gifts in order to create custom items that go in the users "inventory" (purchase history). We want members to be able to get a refund on the "gifts" that they purchase for themselves if it has been less than 24 hours since receipt. We'd like you to reconsider not adding this functionality to gifts.

Alternatively, would there be a way to make items more like gifts in that we can create any number of custom items that go into the purchase history as inventory?

We will add inventory and buyback in the next update, which we're currently planning out
