...The biggest challenge is backdating these affairs. Well the answer there is you don't.
You can just say 'speak to the NPC. with the item in your inventory armory/equipped/added' and it will be checked-in for you.
If you've lost it, log a low priority ticket giving SQX the transaction ID (We will check all your chars game data to see your not double claiming, and to check the transaction belongs to your account).

Scratch that. You don't even have to check check the inventory. Have it in your inventory, you show/'trade' us the 1 item, and we'll check it. You do the work, not our servers or even out client.

Exactly! I know right!

This kind of thinking irritates me because it comes from devs generally (not SQX specifically). It's like when apparently (I might be misremembering) Yoshi's dev team apparently told him it was too hard to introduce indicators (ticks) for items already registered (?), and the moder's didn't even pause to bother to ask anyone to hold their coffee "...job done.".
These days you will be hard pushed to buy a pocket calculator with less computer-science capability (hardware and software techniques) than was used to get humans to the moon and back in 1979 1969.
None of these matters even qualify as 'problems'. It's a question of priority or can-we-be-bothered. Priority and resources are not insignificant of course. (Do you want content, QoL improvements, extra bugs, or to pay more money, because those are your choices.)
But "difficult" as in it's just hard to do even if you want to, is not true.
I swear I'm gonna start chat ban-listing people who continue utter the phrase "spaghetti code" every-time anyone suggests 'any' thing might be done. Especially for things like UI 'info' problems. (How these people's world view doesn't cause them serious trauma when a whole new expansion comes out mystifies me.)

You don't have to have live session data to facilitate this info. You can have some data/register that is only retrieved when you visit the salvager type NPC, and when you visit Mogmail to collect your attachment. There is even a special tab for store items, you don't have to consider the work more than some minimum.

There will be problem's I've not overcome. But I'm not that bright. If there is harder problem, well thankfully its clear that SQX would only have to swing a gerbil blindfolded at one of their conventions to hit 10 of their devs capable of overcoming the problem.

I am literally not buying store items in the current sale because of this. I have limited glam space, and I can't bear the thought of disposing of something I've paid for.

I'm quietly fantasizing that this is uncle Yoshi's benevolent strategy for discouraging us from going crazy trying to buy up 'everything' in the store and sendig families to the foodbank. Which I have to say would be an overriding reason. It's the only thing keeping me on the fence about this though.

An NPC to recover the items would be better, but now that they allow bought items to be stored in the armoire, I think the issues been generally solved. It no longer takes space in the glamor dresser inventory.
