Ability to Re-sell Custom Apparel

I was surprised there isn't a way to sell custom apparel on the flea market. It seems like currently the only way I could sell custom apparel I bought is by making a forum thread?

In my case, since the previews are so small, I couldn't tell what a specific custom apparel piece actually looked like. I bought it, but realized the art style didn't match the look I want. So, I want to get rid of it, but it seems odd that I'll have to make a thread every time this happens? Maybe I am missing something.

Huge support for being able to list custom apparel in the flea market! I've had to make a thread, myself, hoping to resell a few customs, that didn't quite work as well as I wanted to, because, yeah, the previews are so small. :(

Support, however, I also feel that the price should be locked in at the price it's listed in the custom apparel market – no higher and no lower. That helps prevent the resale market, but still allows for “oopsies” when purchasing custom apparel a user dislikes.

Support with Alestrius's comment taken into practice.

Might require a bit of coding shenanigans but it'll definitely help us out a lot!

Oh that's an excellent point Alestrius! Yeah this could cause a lot of bitterness otherwise, so thank you for adding that idea.

Full support. I want to be able to relist my custom if I'm no longer using it.

Support!

Also, on the topic of apparel automatically taking its bought price. The initial concern I have is if the maker decides to change what their apparel sells for (reducing in most cases I've seen!). So I think apparel should be relistsed via author's latest upload price.

A function to consider rather than the Flea Market is relisting via the current CA page. I don't know how it works when you first list apparel, or list re-uploads of apparel there, but being able to somehow re-upload already bought CA to the same system would keep things all in one place!

I like this idea! I would say it should be price locked to the creators sale price on MS's like suggested above :)

i personally would not mind people listing my cas for whatever price, but i get that a lot of people dislike the idea so maybe a toggleable option? So people that care to can turn on the price lock and people that are fine with a secondary market existing can turn it off?

though i personally find the price lock a touch silly for anything but scam prevention, because if an artist went inactive or hadn't relisted something in a while, it's kind of natural their fans might pay more? [plus it'd be too easy to dodge it via forums anyway so why bother]

I do think it would be nice if it suggested the Creator's current sell price, but that also means if someone buys it for, say, 40ms, and then the Creator lowers it to 30ms, or changes it to 300kp or whatever, that'd be what the person selling it would have to sell it for. Which seems kind of annoying.

And like Reanimagpie said, things that are discontinued naturally sell for more. Maybe a middle ground where it stores the ms price for a specific CA for a month, and if it hasn't been listed in more than one month, you can put it up for whatever you like? Or something like three months. I don't know. I get that people hate price gouging, but this is just the natural order of the world when something stops being made.

I also wanted to add that it reminds me of Amazon (and other similar online store fronts) allowing you to buy things from other sellers. "This is available at x price from another seller!" So maybe it could show up in the CA shop similarly. "Another user is selling their copy of the skin for x price." And it'd also allow it to show the original listing price and when it was last restocked, and the person could decide if they're willing to pay whatever the Reseller has set as the price. So if something is frequently restocked, people can see that, and decide not to pay a marked up price. Easy.

Some games, like Mabinogi (MMORPG) maintain the sales history of an item for the past year. This includes how many sold at what prices during that time. So you can see how much people have paid for it, but also what price it tends to sell at best. This can inform both your buying and selling decisions. It's really great. And it means that even if something isn't up, you have a general idea of the price range, as long as it's been listed (and has sold) sometime in the past twelve months. I doubt something like that would be implemented here, but it would be nice. and solve a lot of problems.
