I never thought I'd get that item!

[Daniel Nevaeh]

I never thought I'd get Devil's Wings initially, but I ended up buying them for 1b when that was a lot of gold. ^_^; I am still going after the alchemized ones for the achievement though so I can replace my CS versions with their real set. heart

I got a lot of other items like Pandy March, Portrait of a Deer and Kurola as gifts from some really nice people (a few anons and some people I see often).

I am still missing Metal's Last Hope and Nitemare Minis though. I don't think I'll ever get those. X_X They constantly evade my every grasp.

For me personally? Backwings XD Though I didn't obtain those because of deflation, at least not directly. But I really was only able to obtain the expensive components because I could suddenly get a hold of a lot of gold by just selling items from the cash shop on the MP. I kinda wanna weep still, considering the first pair I crafted I bought a ruby back for 1 billion and thought that was nuts, I just bought a diamondback for about 60 billion. crying That's only 5 months of inflation between the two, that's just insane and don't even get me started on the rare bugs. ARG.

One other item that comes to mind is SDPlus Thea, I thought I'd never be able to get that in a million years, but I've gotten it and two of it's recolors for really cheap, since they're been re-released so much in RIGs. I don't think I've even gotten around to wearing it yet actually, lol.

Tomorrow holds the sunlight of a brand new day for me..."

The angelic sash and minis I remember making a dream avatar with them using the one that was around BEFORE tektek. I thought it looked so good, but the prices were more than I ever thought I could have. That was 2005. 2013, I eyeball a pair of minis going for either 60 or 90 mill, before deciding to bite. There was a RIG dropping sashes left and right, I think I bought mine for 10mil? They sit in my inventory collecting pixel dust, but I don't regret getting them at all.

My experiences involve kind marketplace sellers and anons.

Once I was offering on a grandpa mustachio.
She was selling at a good price too. I knew if I didn't grab it then,
I'd miss the chance to get one because the other listings wouldn't be as cheap.
Found myself out of gold so I offered in items.
The seller only wanted pure.
I was all
classified_fu but thanked them anyways.
A few minutes later, she gifted to thing to me.
Shat Bricks.

[Misatabi]

Oh man, Lovely Lucie, I always wanted one. Thought that one and the colors where never going to be reached, then I went on hiatus, came back and my god, it was affordable. I got it on a heartbeat and felt good...now there too many Lucies lol. I also felt that way towards Eternal Chesed, then it came in a bundle so I'm happy I grabbed one.

emotion_kirakira emotion_kirakira emotion_kirakira Panda Hat and Angelic Sash!!

[Ekkusu_X]

From an actual old R.I.G: Hell Warden SD+Doll from a Warden related win, the deep violet wings from the Loyal Gate R.I.G.
Item deflation: Chuu Chuu, Any of the Hatter items, and various others I've gathered but forgotten buying.
I also got a Bon Bon gift once, I now have a perfect avatar come April months. C:

[mayakko]

For me it was Counterfeit Bride. It was gifted to me and I couldn't believe it. I never unequip it. heart

[Princess of Cakes]

I never thought that I'll manage to get my paws on those [Animal] Faithful Friend, but I did.. That's why I'm so grateful and I'll never part with this item ever. smile

[Milren]

Basically anything that I've acquired any time recently from the inflation. Although some notable ones, like Butterfly Kick, I got from giveaways and contests. But still, anything that was once a rare "expensive" RIG drop that fell into my inventory could be included. Heck there are things that I could get with a teensy bit of vending like the Bound Warlock that I used to figure "Meh, I could never come close to affording that if I tried."

[Sheshira]

Any of the 03s that I have that I was able to get for cheap because of them being released in RIGs and the like. heart

[Kimorchii]

Well, I really wanted a Devil Tail but I figured that I'd never get it until I settled for the Natural DT instead. I'm pretty happy about that.

However, I did get Nitemare Minis (well, in exchange for art) but I was so tickled to be offered that. I never thought I'd get that item, thanks to a friend. whee

[Strawb3rry Bunny]

For me that item will be horns of the demon.
even before inflation I couldn't afford them.
I rarely can afford GC but was able to get $10 worth.
As usual when I have no GC Gaia release's lots of items I wish I could get, I finally get some GC and for days Gaia releases nothing I want.
I decided to go thru the mp listing for hotd to see if the store description said anything about not pming them.
I found a listing and sent a pm asking if they would be if be willing to trade for something in the cash shop valued $10 or less and long story short-ish They gifted them to me.

[Yue of White Feathers]

I thought I would never get DJs...then Michael's Wings, Best OMG...

[Azura Cantarella]

Icy Marionette. I pulled FIVE out of the dumpster. rofl Same goes for my second Lunar Countess and Frosted Frosting.

Perky Bright Blue Wolf Ears were gifted to me...well, I used them toward getting the navy ones I preferred more that were later released, but the gesture was a shocker and very appreciated nonetheless.
