Well, the donation items this year stick between 4 and 10k usually just because so many people got them. When i was first on the pitchfork was around 6k and now its way higher. Ive also noticed that some items go alot higher then their siblings, like the cats are more popular then the robot dogs. A bunch of things just went up like crazy and continue too.
With me Ive made alot of cash on this inflation thing, since im completely done with my expenisve pirate captain avi, so I dont need any super expensive items. But when donation items first come out, like within the first hour you can get away with murder. I got 10k for the wings from my letter, and i bought the letter for 4 k. I also ocasionally sell a donation item even if i want it because I know it will go down.
I dont get why people quest for things like the nitemare sash and stuff, its ridiculous. THink of all the real money they could make from a real job with the time they spend invested in getting a stupid excesory for their little avatar. They could buy a real nitemare scarf or make themselves a real omg.
Personally, im happy. I make alot of gold from selling items for a lot of cash before they really know how much their worth. I really want to see the items for next halloween since one of my avi outfits (the one im wearing) is halloween based. Plus i have a big pirate guild, so im happy.
