I roll over Artisans instead of selling them to other players because of the delay it takes to remove them from my Lodging. Maybe look into that?

I've deleted DOZENS of Artisans other players might have liked, because it would have waasted hours of my time micro-managing them for the last Lodging Slot being locked until it's registered.

Doesn't it stay locked until it's sold, like horses?  Not registered?
