You and Your Wishlist

[Caerthakatha]

I like to think that most things I place on my wishlist are realistic — in that I rarely place anything
that is more than 500,000G on there if I can help it. Often I find that I simply remove the items as I
come to realise that 200,000G for a single pose I like isn't worth it.

I've seen larger wishlists than my own, an I've seen smaller.
So I suppose mine would be med range.
A couple of the items perhaps would not be considered realistic. But I leave them there for some random inkling.
When rigs come out is generally when my list grows. But after a day or so most of it gets bought or deleted.
I typically go through my list at least once every couple weeks an ask myself if I really need said item.

I only have 30 items on my wishlist, and most of them are not within my price range. Pretty much items I would like to own someday if you will. Other items I plan on getting when I can.

[Azalea Star]

I tend to be lazy in updating my wishlist, largely because I forget it's there. I tend to only quest for one item at a time, though I'm pretty slow at making gold, so basically my actual wishlist is in my head mostly.

[Naitou-kun]

My wishlist is at a rather reasonable amount of 30. Most of which are affordable, except two items that I cannot get. Ever. Except for those two unattainable items, I do plan on getting most of it off someday. The reason why I have those two unattainable items there is because they'd fit right into my avatars seamlessly and if a miracle happens (Gaia sponsored giveaway?), I would be reminded that those two items are what I would ask for...(I would get an Angelic Halo to sell though, I could get so many more things, or both of my desired items).
The labels are pretty useless in my opinion, if I had bought the item, I don't want to see it on my wishlist anymore. So I merely get rid of it on the list, to make room for any new/future rig items. I do however, organize my wishlist so that my most desired items are first.

[Ma Ajmala]

I don't have a big big wishlist.

I only wanted 2003 items which I got basically all the ones I wanted besides that one item.

My wishlist is pretty big. I've trimmed it a couple of times by re-evaluating the items I wanted and seeing if they were really worth the price. A good portion of the ones I want(ed) were over 1mil so I really had to step back and think about it. I'm not on Gaia that often so it takes me a loooong time to get that much gold. So items like Pale Marionette I had to just plain forget about, especially when I really only wanted it for one of the poses (that skirt... heart ).

What I try to do is save up a lot of gold so I can buy multiple items from my wishlist at once and trim it down that way. But I've gotta admit that the rigs really f*ck up my progress because almost every single time a new rig comes out there's going to be at least one item I'd really want. I'm actually starting to think that I should stop finding out what the new rig items are just so I can get myself caught up with my wishlist.

my public wishlist isn't super large. o x o
but i have thirty-eight on my wishlist total
currently. i only keep my i hope someone
donates this to me items public. for the
most part, my wishlist is more like my
gaia shopping list. lol x u x now, in price...
my wishlist is well over 300million. i know
this.

i believe my wishlist is realistic because i
know that if i just stop being lazy, i could
get each and every single one of those items
eventually. = 3 =

i do plan on getting all of them... if i stop
being lazy... now, that's the question. lol

i have a ton of items on there just to remind
me 'hey, get us when you get a chance,', like
the marionettes. = 3 =

everything that's there just because... is
removed eventually. lol x u xU i don't like too
much clutter.

i organize my wishlist in a hiearchy of public,
sets, and random things i want. q u q i don't
use the bought/quested/donated labels because
i clean out my wishlist regularly. = 3 =

the only items i display publicly on my wishlist
are the ones that i'm hoping someone will
donate, but i know they won't, but they're there
anyway. lol = u = i usually only keep items that
i'm pining for public. o x o <3

I think its 7 items long and i just haven't really motivated myself to get any of them because i get distracted by my addiction to rigs.

[kisyen]

I add things that I'm pretty sure I can afford at some point with a fair amount of questing, and that I know I'll equip a lot. But it always gets really big even though I go back to it at least once a week and delete things that have lost their charm. Oh well, at least I try, lol.

Do you at all feel that this goes against the concept of a wishlist in the first place? It was my understanding that such a thing is intended to showcase all the things that you want,not what you realistically expect to obtain.

Who knows, maybe a wealthy benefactor who you once encountered when you were very young will check your wishlist for what you want most of all, use his considerable [if ill gotten] gains to give it to you and then send you off to live with an old lady and her beautiful young daughter in a stagnant house of cobwebs and chandeliers. What would you do in that case huh?

I don't remember there being any prescribed way of using a wishlist. I find it logical to be realistic.

Please don't misinterpret me, I'm not criticizing your personal choices or anything like that. In fact, that you choose to maintain a list that you consider attainable rather than superfluous is actually respectable.I'm just attempting to allow for an actual discussion rather than a thread formed primarily of a single replies.

There obviously isn't a 'prescribed' way of using a wishlist but colloquial vernacular assumes that wishes are inherently exempt from requiring logic or realism. Hence a 'list of wishes' would not require the wishes to be attainable.

As a logical extension, if you decide that an item you like is too expensive to realistically attain, do you manage to convince yourself that you no longer want it?

Surely it depends entirely on which definition of the word 'wish' you prefer? I choose to view it
as 'a desire expressed in words, or the expression of such; sometimes nearly = "request"'. I
don't consider it a prerequisite that the items are unattainable; I feel that if I did, I'd have a
massively long list of things I'd never intend to start questing for, which, considering the open
nature of Gaia's marketplace, would not make sense. Needs must, and all that.
