I actually dont think many players will upgrade their house.. actually i even think many players might mvoe back to their little houses, as they now have up to 7x2 = 14 vault slots just from the basic house, and even more with station pass.

<p>No, you have to first put your sales crates in a broker slot, then you can place them in your home.</p>

Which was fine when only one character per account could sale at one time. Now every character will be able to sale. </p><p>I do not know of a cap for prepaid rent. So it could be possible to prepay up to two years. Move the status reduction items to the next home holding 12 displays.

You can only prepay 4 weeks.

<p>The cap on rent payment is 28 days. You can only pay rent 4 weeks in advance.</p><p>You must have a ton of stuff you want to sell. I have 5 x lvl 70 crafters and 3 others 40+ and I have to really push my crafting to fill my current boxes. If only people would stop buying the stuff <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p>If I max out my SQ home with ebony crates it will be 12 x 80 = 960 items up for sale. I could do the same with my NFP home totally 1920 items, that is a TON of crafting, harvesting and adventuring. </p><p>I have never really had an issue with status anyway, both my homes are status free (120,000 worth of status items) and my main toon has 2,500,00 status points on her. Sure I have a status horse and some of the town clothes, but I struggle to find other stuff to spend status points on anyway.</p><p>Sorry my reply was not meant as a flame, I just cannot understand why someone would want to do it. </p><p>I do have 8 baby dragons, maybe they would like to get out of the SQ house every now and then, <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> </p>

<p>That is ashame that the prepaid rent is capped at four weeks. Although, I noticed someone had 30 days a while back . </p><p>As for the number of items I place for sell. Well except for the current sales displays I am reselling. I usually bring enough home to fill two rosewood boxes (32 each), a larger collection bag (24), and the evil eye bag (20) from adventuring alone. Last time I crafted for profit was a few legendary adornments. The reason I stopped was limited broker space. So once GU 37 goes live, I will try to repeat the success of the infamous <a href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/posts/list.m?topic_id=358588" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Cuff</a>. I do have my work ahead of me since all my crafters are below level 40. It will keep me busy until RoK is released. </p>
