Making the SDB's not scam worthy items

SDB's do not care if the bottles of Shrine powder etc are full or not the display picture only displays the first bottle.So it is very easy to put 100 bottles with only 1/5 uses left an the people think they getting FULL bottles.When they actually got ripped way off.Can be solved by the sdb not allowing mixed amounts to be put into the same sdb.....

  • +1 to this, although people may not like it because it would mean the full and empty firefly jars can't go together among other things, but it would be nice to get a full jar of EHSP among other items that can be used. Similar to how the auctions work, at least.

    Why would people not like that?

    My idea request is that full and empty fireflies jars cannot go into the same SDB as well as differentiating between new and used powders

    And, unless it has been changed already, can the image please show a full jar when all of the jars are at their full capacity (powders, fireflies) when placed in an SDB as well? I only place full jars into SDB's for sale and (again, unless it had been changed) the image makes it look as though they are not full :(

  • Yep I agree I inadvertently let all my powders go into SDB and it included one i had used ,apologies for that Disturbed but I did make you another ;o) But would be great if this didn't happen in the 1st place

  • I agree about not letting us mix full and partial potions/powders in the SDBs.  I would hate for someone to buy something from me that is not full, I would never do that on purpose!  But I did notice when I put my potions in, they were mixed and I had to take them all out and go through them one by one to be sure I wasn't gypping anyone!

  • I think foolbunny's idea of showing the full image if only all the bottles were full is the best, and possibly only doable idea here.

    People wouldn't like it if they had to have multiple SDBs to stuff firefly jars, powders, notes, TP scripts, or any kind of items that have differences between the same type. Same goes for tools, etc.

    I was looking for this idea not for selling but for the aforementioned firefly issue. I don't get around to using mine and I like to store them. Definitely troublesome when i am trying to insert 7/7 jars and it accidentally puts in 0/7 jars that I need to use. They end up in the bottom of the SDB and I have to pull everything out to get to them. I try to be careful but it's happened a few times now (including a few moments ago) 

    I had no idea it affected powders... Good to know, hope this can be looked into.

    i have been "ripped off" buying essences that were only partially full.  some of the purchases were full bottles, others were not.  in the end i still thought i got a good deal overall - and i suspected it was an honest mistake - so i didn't fuss over it.  but i definitely hesitate to buy multi-use items from sdbs because of the potential of rip offs (whether the vendor knowingly or mistakenly placed the 'used' items up for sale).

    i'm also concerned that i could accidentally sell something that was not full use either.  i obsessively check the items i'm selling to be absolutely sure every jar/bottle is full as i would feel horrible if *i* accidentally ripped someone off - but it makes me uneasy that it would be rather easy to do by mistake.

    finally, it does occur to me that it would be easy for someone to falsely (or even mistakenly) accuse that they purchased something that was not full - which can lead to demands for free replacements and/or false accusations that can damage an honest person's reputation.

    this issue seems so big to me that i really think it more of a bug than simply an idea.

  • I have posted this idea in the bugs forum ( http://www.glitch.com/forum/bugs/24980/  ), with credit to Disturbed for this thread.

    thanks for bringing this up disturbed!
