#### Storage Display Boxes just got real!

Check em out in your house! You can now set a selling price for the items in your SDB, and other people can buy from you. The SDBs will hold your currants for you, and you can collect it any time you wish.
If your reaction is "Well great, but only people who can enter my house can buy from me?!? What's up with that? Think, Tiny Speck! Think!" then we have another release coming in the next week or two that will put all your concerns to rest, and which may make you unnaturally excited.
(This functionality required us to change the click interactions on SDBs; whereas once they had a single click action to remove an item, they now always bring up a menu.)

- As nice as the piggy bank option sounded to me when I heard it, I have to tentatively ask what the point of it might be? Since dying in Glitch doesn't halve our currant hoard as it might in a dungeon crawler or similar, what point is there in saving our money outside of our disturbingly expansive and astoundingly invisible wallets?
  Feel free to blow me away with the answer :o)
  Erp, experience shows we've completely misread eric's point xD Turns out the SDBs will only hold the money you make selling your items! Unless I'm missing something.

- Liza - to track how much you've sold, possibly?

- Liza Throttlebottom: I don't know what the point of a piggy bank option would be. Someone else will have to blow you away. But … how about vending SDBs?

- This is a really neat idea!
  Posted 6 months ago by Kelti | Permalink
- Ohhh....interesting!
  I will admit that when I saw this topic I was hoping for "you can apply a style to all your SDBs once you buy it for one" or something like that (which I know would be broken but way cool).

- i am mildly interested.
  i would really prefer the ability to make outdoor furniture.
  or put indoor furniture outdoors.
  i'm assuming you'll make sbds usable on the outside of the house or something, but i wouldn't care unless i had a counter or something to put them on.
  you know.

  No point, that's just the way they work! We got them on cheap discount from GameComponents-R-Us, so we didn't have a lot of choice in their feature set.

- @Stoot Thanks for the heads up, I completely misread eric's post :) The piggy bank option doesn't really exist, however the vending SDBs do in fact blow me away!
  @eric Thanks for the laugh, I misinterpreted your statements ;) I thought one of the features you mentioned was storing currants directly from our 'wallets' in the SDBs and I questioned what point that, nonexistent I now realize, function would serve.
  **Edited for clarity :)**

- So, if you don't set a price, can someone come to your house and buy your rare item for 1 current?
  Posted 6 months ago by snarkle | Permalink
- If we don't set a price?
  or
  how is it marked Not for Sale?

- I LOVE this. I can't wait to sell Earth and Peat and stuff outside for when people overuse the resources and want to repair

  If you don't set a price, they are not for sale. You can also stop selling at any time.

- What if we want to sell SDBs? SDBCEPTION!
  Posted 6 months ago by girlthulhu | Permalink
- Is there any chance the SDB capacity is going to change? Not that I have more than 998 stacks of anything spilling over the sides of a box, but I do have the eventual goal of having full SDBs of everything. 998 is a good number.

- Drools...
  Can't wait, I'll be selling no-no and herbs on the SDB market.
  Posted 6 months ago by jjbob | Permalink
- WooHooo ... TOWERS !!!
  We will be able to build towers on our street to put the SDB's in :)
  Posted 6 months ago by BlackWolf | Permalink
- sounds interesting ..
  Posted 6 months ago by serenitycat | Permalink
- dm: SDB capacities are unlikely to change.
  everyone: the secret thing that Eric is alluding too is …

- As cool as this is (and it really is cool) I'm just wondering if this is meant to replace the auction house or will it work in conjunction with the AH listings? If separate, will we have to travel to individual streets to see what they're selling or will there be a search feature like with the AH?
  Posted 6 months ago by Anaquana | Permalink
- Separate, and we as of yet have no plans for a search of what is for sale in SDBs.
  Posted 6 months ago by eric | Permalink
- However, there will be "trade channels" which people can join to holler out their buy and sell orders — visit the street of the person who says the price you like and BOOM.
  Posted 6 months ago by stoot barfield | Permalink
- I like this! I'd like it even more, however, if we could set a limit to the quantity each player can purchase in a given game day. Stores do this in real life when they offer bargain or "loss leader" pricing to draw customers who may then purchase other items or remember the store and return.
  Posted 6 months ago by Splendora | Permalink
- Thanks, Eric. Since I'm a pretty solitary player and don't get many visitors to my street, it's nice knowing up front so I don't waste my time/IMG doing this. It does make me a little worried if a lot of people start selling exclusively through their SDB boxes and the AH then becomes useless. Guess we'll have to wait and see how that plays out though.
