Clearing old stock in bulk

How to get rid of stock you cannot sell in TCG Card Shop Simulator without mixing up donations, bins and the boxes the stock lives in.

Applies to

no version stated by this build (see the sources page)

Before you start

• A shop holding stock it cannot sell
• The bulk donation box available
• Somewhere to put the cards you are keeping

Steps

1. Deal with unwanted cards on the panel rather than one at a time.
   there is a bulk donation box with a panel of its own
2. Read the count on the panel before you commit.
   the panel keeps a slot empty for adding a new card along with a count group and a count text
3. Clear the containers as well as the shelves, because a container holds stock of its own.
   packaged goods keep their own saved contents
4. Treat boxes and shelves as two places when you are making room.
   they are tracked apart from each other
5. Be sure which action you are taking: donating in bulk is not the same as throwing stock away.
   removing stock has kinds of its own, a confirmation screen and a list of bins
6. Use the donation box where it stands rather than expecting a screen you can open anywhere.
   the bulk donation box is a container in the shop with its own texture

Common mistakes

• Donating card by card when the panel was built for bulk.
• Clearing the shelves and leaving the boxes they came from full.
• Throwing stock away when donating it was the action you meant.
• Leaving the clear-out until the delivery is already in the back room.
