I have a question about selling something. Please help!

I keep seeing people buying moving boxes for lots of money on the forums.  How exactly do you " sell " a moving box if you can't give them to other players by trade or just pressing give.  I really need help because I could use a few extra currants and I need to know how to sell them.  If anybody can tell me how people are selling moving boxes please do. 

Thanks for all your help, in advance! :)

  • You should be able to sell it on auction if it is in your inventory. I never did it but I think that is how you would sell a box.

  • Not all inventoried items are auctionable.

    In my experience a key must be issued to a buyer or a seller's house and the box placed in or removed from a cabinet.

  • Pie, I had to give the person who sold me one a key to my house (temporarily) and they put the moving box into a cabinet.

  • I would not recommend buying or selling boxes … they might not last forever.

  • Stoot, that only sounds like an argument against buying ;p

  • Stoot, can you give us a warning before the moving boxes disappear forever?

    ... I was kinda waiting till Zilloween to unpack the box o' pumpkins.

  • larky lion: good point … lest you're worried about karma! ;)

    Filox: we have no particular plans to get rid of them right now. Just warning that we might get rid of them someday. And, if so, we might warn first (but there's no guarantee that anyone will see the warning.) They just weren't designed for general use and might cause problems down the road.

  • I hope we don't lose them - I've kept one of mine as a souvenir of the Great Unpacking

  • Yes, I too hope we don't lose them (and not just because I've spent ridiculous amounts of money buying a couple... oh wait, that's exactly why). I think they make for good souvenirs, as Captain Daisy said.

  • Perhaps the devs could just change their functionality down the road so they become purely decorative items? That way people who buy them can keep them as collectibles.

  • +1 Booradley, sounds like the perfect solution to me.

  • The logistics of trying to delete moving boxes from the game would be interesting. I'm guessing you'd have to somehow unpack all existing boxes, rather than just delete them? Otherwise people who don't play the game very often (i.e., those who haven't logged in since before the latest housing update) would come back to find all their stuff has gone poof!, which would be its own special sort of nightmare.

  • I'd really like a reusable storage box to store a big pile o' crap in and get it out of the room rendering, one for the house and one for the garden, no other functionality necessary - just a big ol' dumpster. They look nice too!
