I am mixed feelings about this, I feel you shouldn't be able to put furni in higher than the catalog price as it's just defeating the object of the catalog, but I like it just because somethings I need desperately can be in already.

Also, I feel if something was 2c in catalog say like the light divider, I would rather buy one from the marketplace (that has been put in for 1c (therefore 2c)) than one out of the catalog itself thus giving Habbo/Sulake 1c instead of 2c :).

Also [@]@Mcdonalds[/@] I prove I don't buy and sell for profit usually with the things I sold you at a loss. I am not to the extent of some people. Not aiming that [@]@Pipette[/@] btw.

I know you're less of a profit person than [@]@Pipette[/@] I think you find better deals and buy from them, but you usually would buy something really cheap (which I don't mind about) and sell it on for considerably more... unless I buy it from you. ;)
It's just, [@]@Pipette[/@] seems to be the only person that really does have a problem with this, when at the end of the day it can be a major benefit for some people.. not always about very few profit makers. :P

[@]@Mcdonalds[/@] if i've given the impression I don't see the benefits, that isn't true, I do see the benefits of quicker cheaper access, but I just feel they coulda done this in a much better way, I.E taking it out of the catelogue when doing this, or perhaps raising catelogue price to accomodate so the kitchen block scenario doesn't happen and so that people don't get all their stuff plumeted. I know I seem like a massive profit merch but i'm only doing this since I got permed, as people who knew me on Lunaris know, I did use to sell quite cheapish on my stock.

The whole idea that it's going to screw up my merching is untrue, if anything it will benefit it, but the problem is we're just gonna be practically skemming these people with the prices of the stuff, considering they'd have bought for much higher before. The only aim of the protest would be to just get some consensus to habbo that we feel there is better ways around this that they can still benefit from in terms of their profit they make themselves, which there are.

Eurgh, are you mad? Just stop? If they took the items out of the shop if they were in marketplace then it would defeat the point of the whole shop itself. What's done is done, it all weighs out really. You'll get over the fact that you're not going to always get a profit soon.

[@]@Mcdonalds[/@] srsly what have you got against merchants tbh, we find a niche in the market and we keep the values stable, as 'm sure ruby would most gladly lecture you on. I'm already over the problems it's causing for my merching cause I can just merch and new values, but ways to improve this are vital, what they've done is systematically flawed, there's really not much more you can say. Even just getting rid of the commision would solve the problem tbh.

[@]@Mcdonalds[/@] yeah I admit if I buy something cheap I will sell it for more but that's usually if I got it for a cheaper than normal price therefore I will sell it for the normal price. Sometims I don't bother, the other day I got 6 Dungeon Pillars for 10c, sold them 2 for 7c, I think the cheapest one in mp was like 6/7 so I got a bit of profit.

Realised I didn't word that above properly. My motto has always been, buy it for cheap, sell for profit, sell it cheap enough that the buyer can then also sell it for profit :P if you get me.

In some ways I do agree some furniture shouldn't be still in the catalog such as Big Wave? I mean seriously, who wants sand and water patches in the middle of Winter, instead they remove stuff like Romantique which is like valentines furniture when that's coming up? :P.

I'm not here to be lectured about bloody merchants. Honestly, all I'm saying as the only people that have the biggest problems with the whole new system is those that rip people off. You've moaned about it at times like it's just an awful crime, which it's not. Habbo is forever changing things so they can get more money $_$. They're going to keep the 1c commission because that works out better for them, which is the whole point for them or there just wouldn't be Habbo. Also, I don't have a problem with people that want to get the most out of their money, but when they're taking something small too far because it isn't going their way then I just find it stupid. :rolleyes: I like how [@]@Samanfa[/@] gets profits, as she doesn't rip people off so much, especially not me. ;)

Anyway, I can't be asked. Keep on ranting, protesting and whatever else you've been doing to try and change this. Nothing will change, they didn't change the 1c tax on exchange so I don't really think this will be any different.

:facepalm:
