What happens to tattoos in the store if there are no purchasers? Does the system wash them away after 24 hours, like it does unsold items? Just curious to know, and thanks for your answers.

I do believe that at cache flush they disappear.

Thanks for the info, QB Ranger. Given the current downswing in the tattoo market, if someone unloads a high NW [say 25 mil NW] tattoo in the store, and it fails to sell, then the game simply loses a high NW item! Am asking this because the going rate for high lvl tattoos has fallen to 20 percent, which is just a couple of percentage points off the sell to store price. If there are no buyers at that price, then people might as well unload it at the store, and the lack of buyers will then cause that high level tattoo to vamoose into cyberspace.
heh...well if people do that then the prices will go back up!!!
and if what ranger says is true, people will unload a few minutes b4 cache flush:P
Maybe it will bring back camping too!!
whats not to love!?!?
everyone go sell your tat ^.^

To answer your question, j'bob, here's the data:
Andracen (Andracen) 204.116.177.100 sell A Lesser Rune of Solitude ($275865) Nov 24
There's no "buy" data on that lesser tattoo, and its not present in the store anymore. One lesser RoS, albeit only 275k, lost to the game.
And heres the real hard data that Chuck missed:
DrAcO5676 [t] (Slice Of Bread) 67.165.119.37 buy A Lesser Rune of Solitude ($275865) Nov 24
chuck, one of the best ways to make money in this game is to power level a tattoo with an NCB, then sell it to the store at the end. Combine that with a 100% challenge bonus and fighting during money times, and you'll be rich.

Nerevas just unloaded a gigantic tattoo in the store:
Crystal Ball lvl 1,092,384 $4,816,587
Let's watch its progress into oblivion; that is, unless someone musters up the cash and courage to purchase it :)
Bought, but I unloaded an old tattoo of mine in the process... sort of like insta
