Can you guys write the cons of making items tradeable only once?

Pros:
1. No more price fixers.
2. No more flippers.
3. It will make drops more valuable because you can’t flip them.
4. Players will spend more time playing the game instead of using trade websites.
5. Players will buy items to use them, not to resell them.
6. Items for specific builds won’t spike by 1000% just because some streamer decides to make a build with them.
7. No more mirror service rmt services.


Cons: ???

Post the drawbacks and explain why, if possible.

Con:
1 - Cannot re-sell your old gear when you want to try out a different build / character.
2 - There is already an option in game to play SSF which neutralizes most of the pros you listed (The pros 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 all dont matter if you play SSF)
3 - Restricted economys in games have always felt worst for me (opinion) example; runescape almost fully killed there game when they restricted trade.

that's all I can think of right now.
One pro:

I would never play this game as it would just be a worse version of D4 if trading was ruined.
1 - Harder to buy items for your build
2 - a lot less options to trade
3 - your gear that already wont sell probably won't sell unless your willing to settle for next to nothing
4 - mirror service rmt becomes more profitable
5 - players would spend less time in the game because they didnt want to play SSF
It will just make the game overall worse. Keep 0 restrictions the same as in D2.
I understand. What if we had a restriction, like if an item is traded, it cannot be traded again for 3 days? How does that sound?
"You can't trade this item 7(any other) days after purchase"

After purchase item have tag "untradable", like corrupted, for a time that devs will consider it reasonable.

Yeah, trading only once can be rough, but having some penalty for trading the same item again sounds good to me.

To me, if anyone is against it, they are simply hideout warriors who play the trade site instead of the game and take advantage of new players.
