Jorlak 41 Posted October 20, 2019 (edited) Hello, I was wondering if there is any way for players living in The Netherlands or Belgium to still sell weapons they've got from Jokerboxes. I've gotten so many weapons that I don't use at all, and I really want to sell but I can't. I have a showstopper for like 6 months now. Never used it, don't like it. I see it going for 8 Million.. And yet here I am, not being able to get rid of it at all. It feels so unfair.. Edited October 20, 2019 by xFlame Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, would a VPN help? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Players from Belgium don't have this restriction as the laws are a bit different. We can't buy JMB's directly but legendary weapons we get from the gold boxes can be traded. 6 hours ago, xFlame said: It feels so unfair. LO is just complying with the laws as they were voted upon by our respective governments. If you want to get this changed you would probably need to file a petition with the "kansspelcommisie" I assume. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Those might be on different sets of restrictions What I'm suggesting is Little Orbit set up a marketplace /auction house that will comply with your national region , or help with Little Orbit being a 3rd party after the auction is done so that you can do it regardless.

Jorlak 41 Posted October 28, 2019 (edited) To fall back on this topic, maybe this will help someone in the near future. If you currently reside in a country where it is not allowed to purchase jokerboxes. Heres what you have to do. If you want to buy jokerboxes using iDeal do the following: 1. Log in to the APB market on the website using your normal IP. Buy G1 credits. (iDeal wont show up as a purchase method while using a VPN) 2. Close the site, start the VPN and go back to the APB market. 3. Click on the jokerbox you would like to buy. 4. Open them (Good luck) If you do receive a legendary, you're still in bad luck, you wont be able to sell or trade it. I've used a VPN to open jokerboxes, I got an Ursus. I logged into the game without steam while using the VPN. Retrieved the Ursus from the mailbox using my VPN. But even then it's still untradeable or sellable. But atleast you can buy the jokerboxes and get a legendary weapon if you want to. So that's nice.. I guess. Good luck!
