Never thought of using bags before to combine items - that's a pretty neat idea. I've occasionally just given people the outfits and told them to try them on for size, and pay if they like, give back if they don't. Haven't had anybody just run off with the stuff yet. In general, I just model the clothes on myself. Occasionally, it's too hard to get a good idea of how it'll look on the customer (definitely in the cases of wookiee-only items or male-only items, but sometimes for other things, like the Plain Short Robe, which has a whole different look and feel on a guy than it does on a girl.)

But in general, I try to stay away from the "customer tries it on first" model, instead opting for the "I'll give you a full refund if you're not completely satisfied" model. (Don't think that's ever actually happened, though.)

Well personally, I will put on the outfit for the individual and model it. If I know the person well, then I'm willing to let them try the stuff on themselves. You could also put the outfit in the trade window for them to look at and examine without having to actually trade it to them. I'd be more concerned about handing over high lvl clothing to people I don't know just so they could try on.

When you go shopping for clothing how many people try things on before they buy? Well I've recently made one of every item I can make, in black or white colors, and sorted them into various bags. I'm intending them to be bags I can trade to my cutomers so they can try before they buy. So far I've had pretty good success with it, and it's great fun helping a player plan out their outfit.


The only thing I'm worried about is possible griefers. Recently I passed a bag to a customer and he ordered an item, then he never returned the bag. He claimed it was accidentily destroyed, and payed me a substantial sum of credits, but I still worry that some person may not be so honest in the future. Has anyone else done something like what I'm doing? What has been your expieriences with it? Any ideas on how to keep my stuff safe? I'm curous as to your responses.



Well, be seein ya,
