Furniture for Sale!

You know how you can put stuff in an SDB and then set a price? OK, yeah … you probably do.

Now you can set a price on an individual piece of furniture as well. Then, other people can come along, click on the furniture, and choose to buy it (as is; with whatever upgrades have been added) for the specified price. That will leave behind a little "sack 'o currants" item for you to collect later.

So, if you have been selling furniture, maybe you'll make a nice little show room and then put all the components of it, priced, on another floor. (We thought about making it so that you could put and sell furniture in an SDB, but that was very complicated and not as nice as having the furniture visible and jump-on-able before you buy).

If you decide to sell some, post a link to your home street in here so others can check it out and see how it works.

  • Don't forget the whortleberry jelly for the meatballs, Lord Bacon-o!
    Posted 5 months ago by karibean Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Saucelah — good question! It will be available via the API eventually (but is not yet).

    Lord Bacon-o: also a good question — we're going to make some new recipes soon, so we'll see that that's included.

  • Ooh, cool. I have a few bits and pieces on the first floor of my tower if anyone wants a peek (right from the signpost).

  • Setting prices on cabinets doesn't seem possible yet (clicking them just opens them).

    Have some furniture up on the first floor of my tower as well, feel free to stop by. :)

  • Sumi — try it in deco mode (and, the cabinet has to be empty).

  • Brilliant! I suddenly like towers again!! Have a sofa floor a bed floor a this floor a that floor. Oh the possibilities!!!

  • I was really hoping for something like this. If I make basic furniture will the buyer be able to upgrade it if they want?

  • Awesome! Now just waiting for all the IKEAs to roll into Glitchen's towers.... ;)

  • Ah, perfect, makes sense...
    Posted 5 months ago by Sumi Subscriber! | Permalink
  • And all of the sudden.. people start opening furniture stores :)

    Anyways...

    Are the items stackable like SDB's?

  • Why are there so many different payment collection methods instead of the proceeds just going into your Glitch's currant bank?
    Posted 5 months ago by Janitch Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Janitch: Why even have a GUI for the game? ;)
    Posted 5 months ago by stoot barfield Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Star Gazer: Yep!

    Rutger: No, they behave like normal furniture -- no stacking.

    Here is everything that is left! Hah! Thanks to everyone who stopped by and bought up the stuff that was clogging my furniture tab! I'm a compulsive furniture buyer, so there will be lots more soon!

  • Oh, this is so cool!

  • If money were put into our accounts instead, we could get a daily (real day or game day) e-mail with a list of what we sold and how much we earned for it.  Then we'd know what was sold from the newly-emptied spaces and SDBs in towers.  Auction information could be included as well.
    Posted 5 months ago by glum pudding Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Or there could be an in-game item (so that there is more "GUI") that you interacted with to chat that same info to you. Sounds like a butler job to me, but maybe a cash register item instead.
    Posted 5 months ago by Janitch Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I love the money bags! And I love that it tells you who bought which item :D

    ETA: Money going into a cash register would be awesome and cute though, maybe that could just be for sdb items? A shop till! Kitsch!

  • I have a furniture show room!!! Dont know how to do a link but click on my name - you know how it goes!
    Posted 5 months ago by Charliesmom Subscriber! | Permalink
  • sweet!
    looks like you can't sell cabinets, can you?
    also about the API request above, would be nice to have the upgrades in there as well, because they don't appear when you list the auctions for now

  • the price tag on the bottom of sofa's etc, means you can't put a coffeetable in front of them and it looks messy to the side, couldn't the price go on top?

  • Oh thank you thank you! And just in time for the weekend too! This is so wonderful!

  • I spent about 2 hours arranging my shop and then a re-seller came in and bought everything in 10 seconds. I set a reasonable price because I want people without subs to be able to get nice items, but if this is what happens...I guess I just won't use this feature.
    Posted 5 months ago by jello's landscaping Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Any plans to make wallpapers in some way purchaseable with currants :)? Gosh, I have absolutely no idea how that could be made feasible in this context, but... Something to think about :)?
    Posted 5 months ago by Liza Throttlebottom Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Thank you so much!!!
    Selling furniture is my favourite thing in Glitch :D
    I jumped in-game as soon as I saw this update!

    My street is here: http://www.glitch.com/locations/LHVE8JD9J1V25IN/
    The first three floors of the tower have furniture tagged and ready for sale :)

    I've already had sales and I adore the little money bags left behind: http://www.glitch.com/snaps/PCRA67IB8LL1MCE/47250-7283fcad61/
    Please note, I dropped the price on a bunch of things after posting that snap, so please ignore the prices, lol.

    Thanks again for implementing this TS!
    *mwah*

  • Thank you for this update, lots of credit upgraded furniture in my tower now.
    Posted 5 months ago by Sherbert Subscriber! | Permalink
  • What happens if their are secure items on top of the furniture do they get sold as well? If not when they fall to the floor are they secure?

    Thanks...

  • There is now a hastily assembled furniture store on my first floor with some credit upgrades I don't want anymore. :)

  • It would really help if when you put an item up for sale, whether furniture or in a SDB, it started with the base price, instead of 1c
    Posted 5 months ago by shhexy corin Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I agree on furniture, but I'd rather my SDBs remember the last price they were set to.  If that means starting at 1, then so be it.
