Ok... Let's all be honest here.... Someone, or most, have to dislike the price you have on selling horses... You'd think they'd be star coins or at least 10000 shillings... Nope, 2500 every horse... EVEN PONIES! I should probably stop before this becomes a 4 paragraph long rant about how much I hate the prices for selling horses.... I really need the shillings, but I'm not selling my horse just for 2500 shillings which I wasted about 600-800 star coins on only to leave her in my stables for like 5 months.

Anyway... The question is, do you agree or do you disagree? What do you think the price should be per horse or for all horses(and ponies)?

I think I'd rather have the sell price be in star coins, even if it's just like 10% of the purchase price. So 80 sc for an 800 sc horse, would be fair, imho. As it is, I'd just keep all of my horses rather than sell them for a pittance of Jorvik Shillings.

I think we should receive the same amount of SC back that were paid for the horses. At the very minimum, half of the SC spent should be given back. It's just really dumb to only get a few schillings back. I don't even bother selling horses because of it.

I think that we should at least get 25%-75% of what we paid for the horse back in Star Coins if we decide to sell the horse. I don't think I'd ever sell any of horses because I spent time maxing them, but if I hadn't, I would sell them. Or maybe I wouldn't because I already have the max number of Jorvik Shillings. I paid Star Coins for this horse, why do I only get Jorvik Shillings in return?

Edit: I've thought about some more, and while I still think we should get some amount of Star Coins back, I feel like we should get more back if it's an old model. I have a couple old model horses that I'm not really a fan of, but I love their newly-animated counterparts. I wish I could exchange the old horse for the new one.

You know how it's a thing for people to buy clothes, wear them once to a party or something, then return it to get their money back? Getting any significant amount of SC back for selling a horse would have the same effect. It also simply encourages players to ditch yesterday's shiny in persuit of today's shiny, only to toss that out for what comes tomorrow.
In cases of old models getting updated, I would like to see some kind of viable exchange from old to new, but simply being able to turn in any old horse you grew tired of to buy the new flavor of the month with, I just don't see it as a type of attitude that needs supporting by game mechanics. Makes you consider what to get, and appreciate what you have.

Getting the full SC back would also encourage players to play with a horse until they get bored of it, sell it, and just buy another. Rinse and repeat. They'd never have to buy SC ever, again. Being able to lease out a horse for a bit to see how'd you would like a certain one would be neat. With a limit, of course.

I agree that a change in the shillings received would be nice to reflect the SC spent. Since there's no trade system and shillings only affect yourself. Worse you can do is buy lots of clothing, tack, and/or food?

I think if you decide to sell a horse you should get 50% of the sc spent on it back (it cost 800sc, you get 400sc if you sell). If that happened, i still wouldn't sell horses because you still loose sc doing it (well, i might sell my pony, i only got him to do that pony race quest....and possibly horses that i just regret buying). You should sell a horse for the right reason, not as a way to get sc, though i'm afraid that is exactly what would happen if they changed it.

Though i haven't voted because i am unsure if you mean agreeing with you or do i agree with sso

I think that they should give you about half of the star coins you bought the horse with, and maybe the higher the level then more extra SC you can get? Like I just sold my level 1 horse that I bought with 900 SC, then I'd get like 400 SC, but I my horse was level 8 than I'd get around 450 SC, and then if my horse was maxed, maybe I could get 500 SC? I'm not sure, it's just an idea, and that could have many problems. Also people might level their horses up, just to sell them and get the next horse they want.

I agree the selling price is a pittance. I also think you should get more for a higher level horse, like Arisha suggests. SC would be nice, but I don't see that happening.

But even a decent amount of shillings, based on the original price of the horse and its level of training, would be a big improvement. Say, start at 3000 JS for a low level pony, or 4000 for a low level horse, on up to something more like 8-9k for a level 15 horse that was expensive to begin with.

I realize that would be a lot more programming than the one price for everything -- so if SSO doesn't want to do any kind of price scale, at least give a decent amount of shillings. 2500 doesn't even buy you a nice shirt, for pete's sake! Maybe a flat rate of 8000 shillings. (If it were 10k you would have to zero out your balance out before you could sell a horse because of the 10k cap on JS, which would be irritating and difficult, so to me 8k seems about right. I'd consider selling for 8k JS.)

Or some smaller percentage of the purchase price in sc.

They should definitely give you a full refund on Star Coins. They could have it like some other games do, where you're only allowed one full Star Coin Refund per year or up to 3 per lifetime. There are always ways to get around it, pleasing all. I get that it would be a bit much on allowing someone to constantly sell a horse and get all their SC's back. A person would just do that over an over. I also feel just us getting schillings back, compared to the cost of star coins is ridiculous!
We should be entitled to receive those SC's back if we purchased an item with it. Anyone can earn many schillings. If Star Stable was more appreciative of there customers/players they would try to work this out as I mentioned above.

I agree. The price we get for a horse is nuts!
10% of the amount we paid for them in star coins would be a fair price to give us for a horse..or even the maximum of 10,000 Jorvik shillings at the least.

I admit, I have sold horses..mainly because they cost me in feed and I have to think about them when they are in my stable. If I do not enjoy having the horse, I cannot justify the time or money spent on them to keep them in stable. Frankly, it is a huge relief to be rid of them for me, but I do have to wince at the waste of real life money spent for the star coins lost!

vi: How do i get the caring for your horse quest done? It wont let me? Ive done it all three times are restarting nd multiple times each time. It wont let me get past it! Jul 6, 2024 9:38:52 GMT 10

laralightningbird: dont get bsso (better startable), that game is illegal and is full of viruses and trojans, it can get your card info (paypal, or whatever you pay with on there) and rob you. they can also get your data and info and sell it online. (KEYWORD: can) Sept 25, 2024 1:51:40 GMT 10

OlympiaDragonforce: Not only BSSO is very likely to infect your computer with viruses, but it is also copyright infringement selling without a license anything regarding SSO. They will be sued and they will share your names and info to the police. Good luck then! Oct 10, 2024 23:41:19 GMT 10
