"Sold Out"

[Dim]

I don't know if this has been brought up already but this has been bugging me since I first joined. How come some items in the shop are "Sold out" like how is it sold out? Did they make a limit to how many people can purchase that item? Also, does this mean things like username change will eventually be sold out as well?

You can see the stock of an item in the shop by hovering over it, along with some other details. Some items, such as the Tasty Cake and Pear, are unlimited.

Most collectibles in the shop are sold out and have a limited quantity just so there are items that appreciate in value. Think of it like trading cards. Only a few of the really rare ones are made and then they are discontinued, making them increase in value drastically. Thay leave them sold out so members are aware of their existence and become interested. Personally I really like this as it adds a new area of fun to the forums and is great for collectors. The forums has become a game itself. I barely do anything else anymore lol. As for certain items that are not collectibles, im sure the reason why certain mailboxes and things like that are sold out. Maybe because if they didnt restrict them, too many people would purchase them and there would be a lack of TBT circulating the community. Then they would have to find more ways to re introduce them. Or it could simply be the fact that they want certain items to feel exclusive to the user. Kind of like a first come first serve basis.

This is the restock thread. They will drop hints sometimes in the event that a restock will occur. Check this every few days.

There are sometimes restocks. They are very rare and they usually only restock a few items at a time. :/ You have to be very lucky to snag a good collectible in this time. Other than that your best bet to get the collectibles you want would be to post on the TBT marketplace. Also if you are looking to purchase collectibles at the marketplace, there are a few guides of general pricing of different collectibles I will find the links for you if you are interested. Its never fun to get burned on a bad deal!

Many items get restocked rarely, making people scramble frantically when they do.

Others are limited time but are usually removed from the shop once their time period is up.
