Re: Selling SOJs
That's what I thought but the actual mechanics intrigue me. Maybe if you sell an soj and buy it back, the counter simply doesn't go up? It doesn't have to actually disappear as soon as you sell it. I would give it a test except I'm hardly in a position to do so considering my lack of sojs and means to get them.

Re: Selling SOJs
That's actually what most people do. There's also a bug in that you buy the SOJ back for less than you sold it for, thus you get a ton of gold on top of a guaranteed Annihilus charm. The traders don't want you to know this of course, as it bottoms out the market for the charms.

Re: Selling SOJs
I wonder if anyone would actually try that if I had some clout around here. Uniques and set items both just disappear immediately on selling; no option to repurchase. I think rares hang around though? At least until the shop rerolls. I guess NPCs like green and gold as much as anyone else.

Re: Selling SOJs
That's not true, at least, I don't think it is. I remember tons of times when I sold that useless cathan's ring to akara and still had the option to buy it back... :scratchchin:

I'm not gonna try it with a SoJ (kindof pointless in single player), but as long as the merchant has the required open space to place the item (and the item isn't ethereal) they'll sell it back to you. As far as I'm aware the item type or quality doesn't matter, only etherealness and inventory space does.
Not according to the Cathan's Seal I just sold to Larzuk - it sat there in his inventory, for sale, just fine. [edit: too slow.

Re: Selling SOJs
SoJs disappear when sold to a vendor and I'm a bit surprised about the reactions to the quoted posting which is obviously nonsense. We have Ãœber Diablo for more than 3 years now and everybody and his dog would know about that if it really was like that.

Re: Selling SOJs
there used to be a bug where you could buy your SoJ's back from a vendor if you sold it via the Gamble screen, but that has long since been patched (along with the "spawn d-clone at eldritch then have him follow you to shenk, kill shenk and watch d-clone die" bug.)
lies. all lies. get a clue please.
/vouch.

Re: Selling SOJs
It was a joke. Considering it takes about half a second of common sense to realize that's not true, and I admitted it was a joke in my second post, but thanks anyway. And yes, I made a mistake about the sets/uniques thing. Since I started using ATMA I have sold very few uniques, and those I did disappeared, but it seems it was due to etherealness/lack of space/some other effect. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
