Hello, I hope this isn't a weird/dumb question. I purchased a few cash items from the auction house and just noticed that one of the items have an expiration date, is this normal? I was under the impression that only permanent cash items can be sold via auction house. Appreciate your thoughts and help if this is an error!

    Items from Surprise Style Boxes (the non Premium red ones), are usually temporary (with the possibility of some permanent items from a small pool, which hasn't been updated in like forever) and tradeable, so that's probably the source of your temporary item. It's possible, but since most people just buy premium boxes, I wouldn't exactly consider it normal.

    It's not currently immediately obvious which cash items are temporary or not (unless you happen to have a good memory and sense of which items were released in all the permanent boxes), and I think someone complained a while back about how they don't even show expiration dates, but I'm unsure if that issue has been resolved.

    It does show an expiration date when you hover over the item in AH, but it'd really help if the clock icon was added onto temporary cash covers in AH though.

    Thank you both for your replies! I'm a bit bummed, but I'll definitely be more eyeful next time.

    Hmm, I'll bring this up. There should really be a way to immediately discern what cash items are temporary without mousing over the item.
