first i had to make sure something is actually wrong with the item when buying it and found out after a few times of actually buying the item that it doesnt disappear of the shop but does count as purchased ie buying to equip or buying to put in stash leave another helm in shop.

Double shop items occur sparsely when you Jane an item and another one shows up in shop at the same time. Rare, but it does occur. |
|
|
Didn't jane the items Everytime and still happened. |
|
|
Did you try buying the seemingly duplicate item, see if it was only a visual thing? |
|
|
Either way it would be a big no? |
|
|
If you had tried to buy the duplicate item and it went to inventory as expected, that would have confirmed it existed as far as the server is concerned. If it did not go into your inventory then it would more likely be some type of visual or browser issue. |

|
Well if I say yes I can buy 2 then people start stocking up faster than sales. Either way it's a bug and has happened on multiple different browsers |
|
|
Not sure why you don't want to give a straight answer to a simple troubleshooting question but instead feel the need to keep restating that a bug is a bug.. |

Thanks for the report. Vector Alpha's explanation is correct. This is (pretty much certainly) only possible through Jane: She stocks items independently of per-item rolls, so if you Jane an item and the roll hits, the item is double-stocked. Both can be bought - I just verified this scenario in my dev environment. I think this behavior is mostly fine. I don't really see any reason to nerf double-stocking, so I won't go in that direction. I suppose the double-stocked item could be listed twice in the showroom though for fun. I made a note to tweak that.
I think it's most likely you're mistaken. For at least the 2 items you've mentioned in this thread, both have been Jane'd by you recently (and the timestamps of your IRC messages and forum post lines up well at least for Gore Rider): --- Day changed Fri Feb 20 2026 20:38 <@^Jane^> [Brokenduck1] sneaks a [Holy Plate of Light Helmet] into the next showroom delivery. --- Day changed Mon Feb 23 2026 21:56 <@^Jane^> [Quackers] sneaks a [Gore Rider] into the next showroom delivery. |

Yes for those 2 items but this isn't the first time this has happened. Either way you do what you will with the information provided |

Just want to point out YOU don't have to be the one using Jane to have this occur. The showroom isn't yours, it's shared throughout the whole game, and thus if ANYONE uses Jane to call an item, and it's stocked at the same refresh that specific item was tagged to appear, double shop item will occur. And seeing how you're not always in chat, it could occur more frequently than you imagine (even if it is still fairly rare). |

Well, I looked into doing this, and I even have a code change that seems to work (thanks Gemini for sparing me from digging into the ancient showroom JS code). However, because of the way the items for sale are currently organized, the change ended being surprisingly invasive. I don't trust that it's not introducing subtle bugs - since this isn't a major issue, I'm going to punt on this and revisit at some future possible showroom revamp. |
