This would be a problem to be worked around (it also sounds like a bit

The big problem is of course if you have items in 12 different outfits
then you need to have 12 different copies of this item with a card
based system you would need just 1
Im not talking about any "hiding" of items im talking about removing
the need for endless copies. Also you have a problem of folks selling
multiple outfits in a single folder/object
and you land up having to A unpack multiple boxes B fish the parts out
of a crammed folder with the outfit card you could sell the
folder/object and then use a series of cards to separate
the different outfits.

I was thinking of running this as a notecard to minimize the need to
add overhead to the system and as far as the loss of freedom is
concerned A the current system would be retained
B with it being notecard based you could always just edit the notecard
if perms on the card permitted it.
