ImmenseTHOMAS Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 So I have an extra copy of an Item I own on the Cartel Market, I use one on my character and the second I was going to sell off the GTN because I see someone else selling it was well. But the second one says it is bound to me despite never having touched it - mods or equipping it. Is there something I don't know about? Obviously it can be sold since someone else is doing so but yet I can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XiamaraSimi Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Cartel items have a bind timer when you first get them, check and see if you have a countdown timer on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImmenseTHOMAS Posted May 21, 2015 Author Share Posted May 21, 2015 Ya i knew they did but I saw no timer on it anywhere so I assumed it had run down already, where would the timer be in case I am missing it somehow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImmenseTHOMAS Posted May 21, 2015 Author Share Posted May 21, 2015 Ya I see no Countdown because that is exactly where I thought it would be... Guess I'll file a ticket then see if I can get that second one unbound for me. Thanks guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trynitris Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 also there was an issue at one time that if you had multiple items of the same type in inventory and you used one, it could potentially bind all of them to you. especially toys or regen items that are placed in the tool bars. This happened to someone in the forums a little while ago. It was with a holostatue, maybe? In any case, they got in touch with Customer Service, and CS was able to unbind the item that shouldn't have been bound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptRogue Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Good chance you accidentally clicked both of them, not knowing it too. If it's not the bug. But I do remember reading that post about how things would bind if you used one. Strange bug. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImmenseTHOMAS Posted May 21, 2015 Author Share Posted May 21, 2015 Ya I thought it was rather strange, and actually its a lightsaber not a holostatue lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iiezl Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 The previous answer must be addressed. There are times when using an item of which you have multiples in your main inventory will bind them all to you. Be sure to place spare items into your bank before equipping/binding an item.

SelinaH Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 This isn't an extra copy of an item you unlocked and pulled from Collections, is it? Items claimed from Collections are character-bound by default. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImmenseTHOMAS Posted May 22, 2015 Author Share Posted May 22, 2015 No I bought it and then afterwards decided to apply an Account unlock for all my Characters... One I bought first is the one I am trying to sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bachannal Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 No I bought it and then afterwards decided to apply an Account unlock for all my Characters... One I bought first is the one I am trying to sell. If you used it to unlock for legacy, then it was used and thus cannot be sold (afaik). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Athena-Nike Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Despite being two separate purchases? The only way to unlock something in collections is to bind it, thus making it untradable. The future items pulled from collections all come bound as well so they are all untradable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImmenseTHOMAS Posted May 22, 2015 Author Share Posted May 22, 2015 I knew future ones would be but like I said I bought one separate, then afterwards bought the account unlock and grabbed another. trying to sell the separate one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
