How to make it so you can't sell a specific item

[dadevvtsvre]

Hey, just got a simple question here.

Okay, in my game, there is a part where the main character has to buy three apples for his Mom. You have to go to the shop and buy three apples. Is there any way to make it so that when you buy the apples, you can't sell them back? I know that you can make an item's price $0, but you still have to buy the apple.

Thanks in advance.

Sorry, this is probably a lame solution because I just thought of it on the fly and without testing it (It's late~~), but is it possible for you to maybe have the apple-buying as an event--which gives you three apples and takes away x amount of money--rather than as an actual store? Then you could have the price set as $0 and prevent them from being sold back.

Hope that helps! XD

EDIT: Thought of another method this morning. If you really, really, really want an actual NPC shop, what you could do is have your character buy the apples normally. What you do is have two different apple items, one with the price and one with $0. Then, have a common event that says if 3 apples (the priced ones) are in inventory, then add 3 unpriced apples and remove 3 priced apples. I can see a zillion ways that way could go wrong, but it's an idea. ^_^'

You should make a common event, like the person above your post said. It would work.

If there was a way to change in-game prices, that would be very useful.
