Why do Items clear so fast from general store?

Hi,

Anything sold to general store seems to get deleted after seconds? Is this intentional, or is this a bug?

One of my favourite features of runescape back in the day, was visiting the general store and seeing what kind of random exciting things would be on sale!

Instead, it’s just the default stock, with everything else disappearing before anyone can purchase it?

Someone could correct me on this, but from what I can remember gen stores will “delete” 1 item from each stack once every minute. For the most part this only applies to items not part of the default store stock. Without this gen stores would get full with junk, leaving people unable to sell any different items until next system update.

There are some exceptions though, like if you sell 5 steel plates in hovrik store, it will take 20 mins to return to default stock, as the timer for those are 4 minutes.

Hello and welcome!

From a quick glance at the code it seems like items are only supposed to disappear from general stores at a rate of 1 per minute if they are not usually stocked: Server/src/engine/World.ts at main · 2004Scape/Server · GitHub

Could be a bug, thanks for reporting!
