Sorry, one more question. I think I am interested in the collectible trading market these days. But how does it work? Do I need to have the collectibles not displayed, or are there any other things I need to be aware of? I'd hate to make a mistake and mess it up for someone.
Ah, the slippery slope of collectibles. The good news is you can't really mess anything up for anyone unless you don't deliver what you promised.
However, there are a couple of things to be aware of:
- There are some unique or untradeable collectibles. If you don't have a link to gift the collectible in your inventory, then you can't trade or sell it. Unique collectibles mean nobody can own more than one at a time and this should be noted on the page when you click on the collectible icon.
- Collectibles are arranged in date/time order with the oldest collectibles appearing on the bottom right and the newest on the top left. There is no way to manually arrange collectibles, so people will look for certain timestamps to get the lineups they want. If you are selling/trading, you can either copy the timestamp from your inventory so potential buyers are aware of it or let others view it in your inventory by keeping it unhidden.
- You can sell/trade collectibles that are active or inactive, hidden or unhidden. If you don't want the collectible to be displayed in your sidebar but want to let others look at the timestamp, you can set it to inactive and unhidden.
- Some people like messages on their collectibles, so it's common courtesy to ask before sending the collectible to them. When you are in the process of transferring the collectible to them, there is a place to enter a note. This note will show up on the collectible when the new owner receives it and can be viewed by hovering over the collectible or clicking on it in their inventory.
Those are the main points I can think of off the top of my head. Good luck trading!
Edited to add the part about messages.
