items, then please use the gallery feature. For your safety, all items
that you currently have priced at unbuyable (100,000NPs or higher) will
be reset to 0 and put back into your shop stock shortly. You are no

one thing I don't like about this, is that one way to get people into your
shop is to have a really rare item in it. Even unbuyable it attracts window
shoppers.

But then again, with split shops (only showing 100 items at a time) how much
window shopping does that really bring?

I would guess that is likely. They are probably resetting prices to "0"
first so that when they do increase the maximum purchase amount noone gets
royally screwed over!!
