Welcome to Gaia! ::


Spirited Nymph

Have you ever started on an avatar, gotten everything perfect down to the last detail, but then that one item you need to really pull it together just isn't in the mp and no one is selling it in the exchange?

I have been stalking the mp and exchange almost religiously for the last two months. Why is Astra: Spooky Hall so scarce? ;n; Its not even that expensive, or even quest material. Come ooon why can't they rerelease it in a rig or something already? And is it just me or am I seeing it everywhere lately. mad

gaia_spoons Has this ever happened to you?
gaia_spoons Do you obsess over that one perfect item to complete your avatar?
gaia_spoons What elusive item are you after?
gaia_spoons If so why do you think its so scarce?
gaia_spoons Have you been lucky enough to have that special item rereleased in a rig?
gaia_spoons Or is Gaia just coincidently being a giant tease and its really pissing you off? emotion_omnomnom

Yar, for labtech week, I was pulling together a nearly perfect LabTech138 cosplay, only to realize that the one thing I was missing--bouncy antennae--was nowhere to be found on the marketplace! gonk

I think everyone was feeding theirs to the convert-o-matic instead of selling them. I ended up trawling the chatterbox, wanted subforum, and the LabTech week event thread, trying to find someone willing to sell me theirs. xd

Spooky Hall was a rare drop in one of last (?) Halloween's RIGs (a pumpkin one?). I was sad it didn't drop more, too. Here's hoping for a rerelease this year. As for items not being in the MP, I just wait. Things will show up eventually, guaranteed. Then again, I'm patient enough to wait years for items, so.

I am so restless for it though. Just waiting for an Espeon tail is testing my patience. emo

Dang instant gratification doing me in.

Yeah, it was really irritating. I mean, you can see that there are tons on the MP now, so I never thought I'd have trouble finding them. Since the spring cleaning event was then in full swing, I can only imagine that's where they were all going...

But yes, I did eventually find someone nice enough to give/sell me a pair.

They wanted to give, but I insisted on a finder's fee.

Oh well glad you found them! I'm sure with the spring cleaning event going on there was a lot of stuff like that getting bought up. Not gonna lie I made a quick buck here and there from people feeding the machine. At least you still have the outfit though. That labtech stuff is swanky enough to wear year 'round if you ask me. emotion_awesome

Durn straight. I've got it saved to one of my outfit slots in case I want to trot it out again.

Because there's no way I'm gonna equip all those head items one-at-a-time again.

When I wanted my Thea doll it was like that. I finally managed to get it and overpaid for it.
-stares at the price now and sighs-

Usually i try to stick to my inventory and obsess and get angry over my lack of finding what i need

IT WILL BE MINE. emotion_donotwant

This has happened to me more than once. Usually I'll just stick the item on my wishlist and hope it will show up on the MP someday for a reasonable price. *stares at the SDPlus dolls*

It's the absolute worst when you want the item to complete an avatar you want to wear now, though! gonk

UGH ME RIGHT NOW

I've got a really cute avatar lined up but I need an Authoritative Daeva. ;; There are other horns out there but these layer and suit the other items I'm gonna wear so well. I think it was an old LQI??? So apparently they actually became limited in quantity I cry.

I've had it happen before and stuff gets re-released in a rig, but usually I find another item. I do get more lucky when I'm trying to finish collections I have tho. They just re-released Orphan of the Odd Order, which was the last one I needed. emotion_dowant
