After update: Items without a price, which cannot be sold

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Play older version of Andor's Trail.
2. Update it.
3. Continue the game with your character.
3. Try to sell some items.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I have a 'Cave rat tail' and 'Small rat tail' in my bag and I can't sell them 
(their price: 0 gold). You should be able to sell items even when their price 
is 0 gold. I think an option to drop/discard items directly from your bag would 
be nice.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
v0.6.6, Android 2.1

Long-tap on that item and a pop-up menu apears which lets you drop that item.

Thanks for the report.

Items that are regarded as "quest items" are not sellable. Currently, the way 
the game determines what items are quest items is to examine the base market 
cost. All items that have base market cost = 0 are regarded as quest items, and 
are unsellable (but still droppable). Note though that base market cost may 
differ from the actual merchant price you get. You always sell at a 15% 
disadvantage, so an item that has base market cost = 1 would sell for 0 gold. 
That's why some items that give 0 gold are sellable and some are not.

Actually, the items you mention, "Cave rat tail" and "Small rat tail" are both 
quest items. Cave rat tail is the tail of the rat king, and used as a trigger 
to indicate that the player has killed the rat king for the person giving the 
quest. "Small rat tail" are similar triggers for Mikhail's dialog script to 
indicate that the player has killed the two training rats outside the starting 
house. The reason for you having them after upgrade (and still having done both 
quests i guess) is probably a consequence of issue 55.

Should we close this issue?

Yes, I have done both quests. Is there any other way to get rid of these items? 
Maybe a "Destroy" option in addition to the existing "Drop"? Or a possibility 
to give them again to the person giving the quest (talk to that person -> look 
in your inventory -> see that these items magically disappeared)?

You can drop them some place that you think you won't return to. :)
For example, the basement of that grumpy lady that's in Crossglen that is 
looking for her husband.

No but seriously, I doubt that we will introduce an option to destroy quest 
items in-game. It could break whole quests and gameplay severely. Could be very 
dangerous :) Meanwhile, I suggest you drop the items if you don't want to carry 
them around.

I really don't like littering... maybe a little option to prevent such 
situations in the future, for example: when you bring the quest item to the 
person that gave you the quest you already done, the quest item dissapears from 
your inventory?

We will not introduce ways to lose or remove quest items.

Closing this issue.
