| Pawn shop for EC items for 1/2-2/3s original values. Reboost the EC economy with instruments, fireworks, etc. Idk if MVPs should have one but yeah throw some ideas please. |

Okay Timmy, give reasons or people are gonna get pissed that you just put your foot down, crossed your arms like a child, and said "No I'm not doing it" You said yourself there's not enough cash out there so this makes a part of the economy cheaper and could possibly get cash flowing a little better. |

Or just be an immature prick and don't give a reason. Instead, just instill your authoritarian ideas. You do realize that if enough people complain about you you will be taken away from your position, so instead of being a dickhead why don't you give some reasons to the people as to why you won't listen to our ideas. |

| An EC pawn shop would actually be a good thing for the economy.
As it is now, the EC items are pretty terrible and hard to sell. (with the exception of the flak cannon.)
Giving people the option to get rid of their shitty flamethrower and reclaim their 35 ECs to be better spent on something they would rather have is a good thing. Not only that, but when people sell their EC items to the shop, it increases the rarity and value of the ones that are still in circulation. It's really a win-win. |

| I buy two bows for 30k each. Trade them in and get a Flak from the shop.
Sell flak for 125k.
?? Profit.
I know the shit would eventually balance out and you wouldn't really be able to do this, but it's just an example.
And it should only be added for the permanent crap, not the consumables. |

And it should only be added for the permanent crap, not the consumables. Bow=40k Flak=80k I thought. yes this shit would balance out in an instant. Obviously players that cared about their virtual wealth would do the math and not get fucked. I agree about the consumables but shit like sparklers and firework launchers should be able to trade in. |

I just think it would help to lower prices of EC items and help their circulation in the economy. That, and then finally make that instrument shop useful again. People put some hard ass work into that and now it's basically useless. Nobody buys new instruments from there and nobody really has the ECs too either.... |

It could work. They put in a new gun shop with MTs and PPSHs even though there were a bunch of those around. |

This is the main reason. People are suppose to get the event coins from winning events not from pawning back items they bought off a player, why do you think you can't drop them? They are meant to be collected and saved up for an item of your choice. I will try and find some time to make some new EC items in the future. I am not setting a time frame tho. |

I will try and find some time to make some new EC items in the future. I am not setting a time frame tho. This is a good argument and I'm not saying it's bad but now that there are so many ECs out there how many people buy high EC items like Flak, Flamer, Bow, or ANY instrument? If people want to just pawn the ECs back then more power to them, they're just losing money. Pay 80k for a flak, get 150 ecs back so you can buy a flamer that's 15k. Who would want to do that... |

Or pay 15k for 4 flamers (60k), pawn them for 75 ec each, and buy a Flak. You just made a profit. Plus flak is more like 125k, not 80k. So you doubled your money and removed 3 items from the working economy in the process. |

Do you think anyone is going to miss those flamethrowers? Obviously not. And honestly, people care a lot about their pixel money on here. Some substantially more than their IRL moneys, so the prices will drop immediately accordingly. This isn't even close to as big of an impact as the changing of the gun stats without the changing of the prices. If implemented correctly, possibly a changing of price of the EC items could counterbalance the pawn shop idea? |
