Premium Items on Trading Post : Be careful

Mon Dec 20, 2004 9:05 am

Hi everyone,,

I got stung with some items on the trading post.

I was wanting to trade a Paint Brush for either NP or equiv item that I could sell to get NP

I accepted what I thought were items adding up to the same amount only to find when I tried to do something with them, I could do nothing

they cannot be moved to my shop, cannot be moved into SDB, or equipped, nothing, so they are just stuck in my inventory useless..

The item description says that they cannot be activated until beta testing is over, and that they are from the Lost Desert Scratch cards..

Just thought Id mention in case this happens to anyone else.

Next question is, how come they are in trades and on the wiz when I cant even move them, are premium members able to do that?

Far as I can see it this has cost me a bunch of NP as the items are useless.

the items I got were "Sand Snowballs" I know there is also a Scarab ring,

Does anyone know what other items we need to avoid?

grrrrrr, meanwhile someone is probably laughing at me having got a lovely paint brush for these useless snowballs.....

Sadly enough, they never fixed this glitch.

There are lots of people who are scamming others and also posting that its super rare and can not be found in the shops. What you should have done is not only checked shop wiz but also the trading post. There are lots of them on the trading post with people saying warnings about this item.

:/ It happens though.

Yes, I did check the TP but there were no warnings for the Sand Snowball, I just assumed they were a costly snowball that equalled the cost of the PB

It wasnt till I tried to move it out of my inventory that the description came up saying that it couldnt be moved until beta testing was over.

So yes, If anyone does have any they can move into the TP and can write the warning on them, that would be certainly be a great idea..

Im assuming Premium Members can move them and sell them?

I'm a premium member, and I don't know how they'd get them on the post, because I know I can't. I've had a sand snowball stuck in my inventory for days, I can't put it anywhere!

*sigh* Its too bad people are acting like this, by the time beta testing is over, they'll be as worthless as regular snowballs.

Unless of course they're not the booby prizes (like the snowballs and plushies from the kiosk) but still they'll be slightly less rare.

Hmm thats really interesting, they are in the shop wiz too, I wonder how they are getting there then?

yeah, someone traded me a sand snowball + nps (which where enough) for an item, I clicked on the sand snowball in my iventory and I could move it, so you might want to try that. Thanks for the warning too!

I had one and I used quick stock to put it in my shop so that should still work.
