It’s a great idea. I’d finally be able to get rid of a steampunk corset (I’m a guy so I don’t want female cosmetics)

I would like this feature because every item you get when playing games like dodgeball have a value price, and no way to sell them. If there is a value for an item it should be possible to sell them and get tokens.

It seems like a great and useful idea that could potentially be added someday. However, it might also be exploited, though I doubt that would be possible.

This wouldn’t be useful at all and would make buying consumables useless.
If you want to get rid of consumables, spawn them and share them with your friends.
Edit: my post was “hidden” for being “off-topic” so i need to edit my post to unhide it. Great!

Yeah it sounds like an awesome idea! To get rid of peoples consumables that have so many, instead of just tossing them about. Can get something out of it!. Very little tokens at a rec room cost like 5 or less tokens. Or just sell to recroom period! That way people can buy in bulk and you earn tokens. Would be helpful for people to sell or donate of even gift them if you have RR+
The point of my post is to find another use for your consumables. Gifting them aways so your friends. An have them, or even selling them to people for a static amount. Sure it’ll cost less but eventually they’ll run out. And I think that’s a great idea than just tossing them about, that’s what it’s used for yeah? Can gift people many consumbles for people you care about or even as a gift button.
I understand the point of your post, I don’t understand how this would be an extra usecase for consumables. If you can sell them for cheaper, there would be no point in buying them from the store. This would make consumables even more worthless than they already are.
The idea that you can “sell back” these to Rec Room feels like it would just cost RR money for no reason. They aren’t a store in an RPG game, they don’t want to buy your worthless items back. Tokens have USD value.
Gifting consumables just means that players could wind up with hilarious amounts of them, it just feels like passing around worthless items. How does this help anything? Like ok, my friend just decided to give me his 250 KO icons I never use anyway. Great!!!
Consumables are fine as rewards from daily boxes, they aren’t fine as another way for users to monetize their accounts.

Very valid!, sell or not to sell, I had 3 options to find a better use for them. Maybe selling isn’t the best option but at least gifting them away or even donating them away, or putting them into a gift button. So there’s multiple uses. Receiving 250 KO consumable isn’t that bad honestly hah. It’s more like 250 root beers! Imagine! That would be awesome. Have your friend waste away! Just to give away your hard earned consumables from quests or games. And if selling isn’t an option then gifting them would be a lot better. Keeping the value of consumables but only giving it more uses. or even trade! Wich I highly doubt trade would be a thing.

I think the consequences of adding a feature like this need to be considered.
On paper, being able to trade/sell/gift people items you have sounds lovely.
However, you need to consider the impact this feature would have and that would be RR items being sold for irl money.
This would mean:
- Rec Room probably losing income from people not buying tokens/RR+ (for the tokens)
- Your account with lots of items or particular items suddenly becomes worth more irl money and that creates more of a market from hacking people’s accounts
If just kept to consumable items like the root beer and stuff then it could be okay however hackers may find ways to manipulate the item they’re trading to make it become something else (maybe idk)

Yeah very interesting, I do love the idea of having multiple uses for big bulk and gifting them away free without money in between!. Or using that as a reward for players from your “Stash”
