Guild Wars 2

I’m aware of this thread that states that

“Only newly obtained skins in select sets are tradable. In the past, we intended those skins to be account-bound and not tradable. After the change, these skins will remain account-bound and not tradable. We will continue to monitor the value of those skins, but at this time, there is no plan to make tradability retroactive.”

and how that would probably apply to the Fused Daggar Skins I have. However, with the recent addition of the wardrobe system, I added one skin to my wardrobe, but I have another in my inventory. Since I’m unable to sell this skin on the TP (even though it’s not labeled as account bound) is there any way to get tickets back? Or am I just s.o.l. and have a skin taking up inventory space?

If you purchased the skin before they became sellable, you may be able to fix it. You used to be able to purchase a matching skin from the TP and then you could sell both of them. That’s how I was able to sell my fused dagger.

I have no idea if they fixed it and it requires you to put up 300g to test (and risk losing the 300g also).

1. Skins are still usable to avoid the cost of using a transmutation charge (yeah, not a big help, but still: not completely useless).
2. You can contact support to see if they can assist you. Sometimes they can; sometimes they can’t. https://help.guildwars2.com/anonymous_requests/new
3. You can try the trick Strike mentions — it requires stacking the non-sellable item with the sellable one. The lowest current sale price is 453g and change.
   • If it succeeds, you’ll be able to sell both for let’s say 850g total, so you’d end up with 722g income, or 269g in the end.
   • If it fails, you could just relist for the same 453g, in which case you’d lose 68g
   • In your shoes, I’d try to buy at maybe 375g: that would mean the best case scenario is 347g and the worst case is approximately breaking even.

tl;dr I would try to buy an extra skin for 375g if you have it. You’ll be sweating bricks for 2-3 days while all the transactions go through, but… if it works, you’ll end up with a substantial profit (and if it fails, you should break-even at worst).

I’d also create a support ticket, since that costs only a few minutes of your time and has no risk.

Good luck and please let us know how it turns out.

Thanks, I’ll let you know what happens.

Support helped me out. I was able to destroy the old skin, and receive a new one that wasn’t bound and I was able to sell.

Glad to hear it, ebrown. Hope the price ended up being higher due to the delay
