Private Slots

[kurth6255]

I wanna use em for everything but I'm worried I'm gonna get called out lol.

Should I save it for big things like artists' signatures and whatnot? The tutorial made it seem like you can whip it out on any occasion, but then ofc left the warning about being caught as an avarice criminal.

So basically, how much is too much when it comes to private slots

to add, are private slots not verified by the game? like, say you get the wrong card but try to tell the customer, they'll correct you and let you try again. but will the game let you put whatever in the private slot and make you deal with the consequences? if so, that's pretty epic and scary

In my opinion, not really tested through, you'll get reported whenever it's small like +50v or large +30% on expensive already piece. So, i'm better off with using private slots on really costly things, so it will overprice the fine, or to check with hastly customers or fixies for true cost of a piece. For example, customers on haste will throw away any card which will throw the price down, so you should get it into private slot and check if the real price is worth the deal. And fixies won't accept any "popular" or "unpopular" cards, so you put them into private, so you could get the real price. Also, there are no borders, you can put in private Vertivo card on a Ben Brown bag, but you should understand it will confuse the buying customers, and they WILL mention there is something wrong with your cards, and it will hurt the price and the shop reputation.

word, thanks man.

one more question, what type of celebrity is Jisu Hwang? Says he's a president I think but politician and mere celebrity don't seem to work for me, unless they're rejecting it cus it'll lower the price like u said, and I gotta slap that in the private slot. does taking or not taking the moonrock from the naive floatie from out of town on day one influence this person's signature? she says "you're the ones who made Jisu suffer."

also, does it make a difference if you report someone who does or doesn't have the badge that shows they've already been reported before? like, does it lower your attractiveness more than it would to give someone a first offense

there's just so many questions and so little info online! but it's cool like a big mystery

and finally, what does "special price" actually do? I normally charge 125% of the appraisal price, while the special price usually is a good amount lower, so I ignore it. Am I messin up

Ah, yes. Do remeber my own frustration. If I remember it right, He WAS a president. And then go to busines. So he is a businesman now. Keep in mind to check the latest occupation of a person. Also there will be one person who will became an artist after his time in jail, and it will be on the last page. But their items a rare to get. I think it's the same guy whose piece were given to you on the first day you was told about signatures.

As I collect, after reporting someone without a badge will sometimes make them return to you and accuse on reporting them. Kind of rare, as no information of who has reported you is known. I think they will report you back and lower stores reputation a bit. So, just take it low and report no more than 2-3 guys per day. Safe one is to stay on 2/day quota.

Special price is Darcy's recomended item. It's a bit higher than appraisal price, which will also grow with stores reputation. You can set it as base on your normal charge. It's expected you will place an original piece in perfect condition on this spot, which will bust you reputation.
