Selling Items back to Shop.

This has been annoying me for a long time, but only now thought about posting.
When you buy something from a shop, you are able to sell it back to the shop at a knock down price. Such as a Cobalt Staff and Amulets etc.
There are numerous items that cant be sold back to the shops. Like Feathered Boots, not only as these VERY expensive boots pointless, but they are not able to be sold back to the shops.
I think that all items that are able to be bought from shops, should be able to be sold back to the shops.

I agree about the feathered boots, would you like to perhaps suggest a reasonable sell back price? or stat edit?

Current: Library info for Feathered Boots:
Armor base: -20, Can be worn by: clerics, druids, fighters, mages, paladins, rangers, thieves, Description: A special piece of footwear used by the people of Windia for 'Speedy movement' when travelling around their city. The boots feel extremely light and comfortable on your feet and seem to fit perfectly. Made with small feathers these boots don't offer the wearer much protection., Level needed to equip it: 20, Strength modifier: -3, Intelligence modifier: 0, Dexterity modifier: 1, Constitution modifier: 0, Wisdom modifier: 0, Charisma modifier: 0.
Maybe the stat mods could be.
-4 ac, -3 str, +1 dex.
-20 ac, +1 dex.
-10 ac, -1 str, +1 dex.
Then possibly sold back to the shop for 500-600k.

personally, ive never seen how something would take away armor...even if your wearing feathers, its going to give you more protection then wearing nothing...i think for its cost (come on, almost the same as the ammy's) -3 str and +1 dex is enough without the -20 armor

You havent taken the points of view from all classes. Personally I would love the boots to be -3 str, and +1 dex. Since my main is a mage. However, the boots should have significant disadvantages for each class, without being totally pointless.
As for equip taking away armor class, I agree. I have posted about descriptions been modded for some items because they mislead. "Made with small feathers these boots don't offer the wearer much protection", when infact they offer no protection, and actually lower armor.

would like - 4ac, - 3str , + 1dex .... so prolly mages would buy it if they don't want Boots of Time? more dex helps and they don't need that much str... or yes... - 10ac, - 1str, +1dex just change them....

It's hard to balance. I tried to think of losing a little, with the gain of 1 dex balancing out.
-4ac wouldnt be much for any class. However its -10 ac away from mages. Since AoP is armor * 2.5.
Athough the ideas is rolling, it'll be inevitibly up to the powers that be.

No items should be able to be sold back to the shops. When was the last time you could sell your groceries back in real life
The only reason you could to start with was because there was no /library command. Now that there is, the ability to sell items back should (and probably will) be completely removed.

Ah ha, but in real life and I quote:
"If you are not completely satisfied with goods that you have purchased please return them, and we shall be more than happy to give a complete refund or exchange the goods for something more appropriate".
So technically you should be able to take to goods back to the shop, and get another item of same price, or a complete refund. However, selling back at a 75% price of fee paid is sufficient for the game to make gold.

I think you should be able to beat up the shopkeeper and take all the goods if you can't sell an item back.
Conquerer: These feather boots are useless, I want a refund.
Shopkeeper: Too bad. The sysops say that in real life you just cant take back used goods for a full refund!
Conquerer: This isn't real life!
Shopkeeper: Ah, but this game is supposed to be realistic.
Conquerer: Fortunately for you, this game isn't realistic enough so that I can beat you up.
Shopkeeper: Sort of convenient for me that way, isn't it!
Conquerer: You are a scammer, you should get permanentely banned for stealing, even if you are only a NPC.

Maybe a junk store where you can sell anything for about 40%-60% of what its worth and just buy anything that anybody sells there for 130% of the normal price.

Selling for less I understand, and it makes sense, sort of like a thrift shop, but buying it for more than the regular price? Why would anyone do that, if they can go to the regular shop and buy it for the normal price?

Do you think these are department stores? These merchants would want to sell their products and that is all. You think they cared if you were satisfied or not? "charge it on my Arilin Express"

may i suggest something here then 
instead of selling something completely back to the shop maybe it could be possible to trade. like when you buy something in a shop like let's say a TV and the next day you decide it's too big you bring it back and get a smaller one and get a little bit of your money back (you still bought something in that store and still have an item) or if you think the TV is too small you go back and buy a bigger one and pay something extra.
something like that (needs to be worked out better so shop prices aren't too much apart from eachother like buy a csotw and then trade it for a short sword )

The shop doesn't WANT your things back. Their job is to sell them to make money, why would they want them back?
I'd like to see you buy a pair of shoes in real life, wear them for a month and try to take them back... ahah...
Plus the medieval period isn't renowned for its great customer-service in shops... Modern society only refunds things to keep the customers happy so they continue to shop there, but the game doesn't exactly have any alternative places to shop so they have no reason to try to keep you as a customer.

But there would still be problems with buying things by mistake.
