Transferring Items to Blocked Avatar

[Emilly Jaynesford]

Hi all.  Please could someone advise?  I transferred a few gacha items to a friend of mine and she'd inadvertently blocked me.  The items have gone from my inventory and obviously as I was blocked at the time she doesn't have the items in her inventory.  Does anyone know if there's a way to retrieve them?  Should they come back in to my inventory or are they now lost in the ether?  Thanks!

Gachas are usually no copy. So yes, they are lost in the ether with no means of recovery. 

Sorry.

Did you check your lost and found folder?  I've had things return after relogging.  But, chances are they are gone.

Thanks for the reply, Rowan.  Yes, I checked my lost and found folder and nothing.  I think you're right, they're probably gone!

Thanks for the reply, Silent.  I thought they might have disappeared for good

Did your friend check her trash?

I only ask this because someone I have blocked-the only person I do, sent me something just to be obnoxious and it was in my trash folder when I went to empty it the other day. I'd had that person blocked for a while, and I empty my trash at least once a week, so it was a recent send. I don't know if that's how it's supposed to work, but it did, and it was a no copy item, 

It's probably lost for good, but worth a check anyway.

Being the sendee (recipient) and not the sender makes a difference.

If it lands in Trash at all it wouldn't be in the OP's Trash.

Always check L&F and Trash for lost items. Always check Trash before dumping. Two basic rules oldbies tend to forget new(er)bies don't know because it isn't in documentation, it's in the habits you form as you learn.

That's why I said for op to ask their friend if it's in their trash.

That was for the OP. I just used your post as a springboard. Sorry I forgot to say that.

I feel your pain.  A few years back I lost about 60 FOLDERS full of gacha outfits in a sim restart and never got them back!

[Emilly Jaynesford]

Oh my goodness, Jordan, that must have been awful!  What a nightmare.  My friend has just found the Gacha items that I'd transferred to her....they'd gone in to her trash folder!

Thanks so much for the replies!  After some searching my friend found the Gacha items in her trash folder!  She'd not emptied the folder for months and months so hadn't realised they'd gone there.  Thanks again
