Question:
i'm stil not clear on what a "RIG/magic box" is supposed to be, could you show me/ give me an example of one?

[Volds]

Question #2:
when hoarding, and buying in the marketplace, which would you suggest: buying and item at the "buy now" price, or bidding on an item to hopefully get a lower price?

[Jace Quin]

LeXBox is an RIG. Other RIGs include: Gee Boi Turbo, Dark Reflection, Lonely Star, Suspicious Package, Repo Lamp, FameStar2000, etc, etc.

When I buy things from the marketplace to hoard I'm either picking off low priced items if I see them or buying below a certain limit on things that I know will go up. When I buy hoards from the MP instead of the exchange I never use the bidding option (if there is one) because I only ever win bids 20% of the time and find it supremely frustrating and time-wasting the rest of the time.

;D I bought an Angelic Manner for 67k yesterday, and now, it's up to 80k! I'm waiting for it to go up a bit more. :3

That was a good buy. ^.^

They're up to 90k now. I'd probably sell it for the 20k profit, though. I don't think they're going to inflate that fast anymore despite the fact that they've been pulled from the Cash Shop.

Tran says...

So I should sell it now?
Listed it for 90k

Thank You! it's much clearer.

[Jace Quin]

You're welcome. ^.^

I edited the section on RIGs to give examples as well.

[Jace Quin]

Updated the hoarding forecast.

o.o

That's kind of a scary thought. Are there people who stalk me but don't actually admit to it? They just stalk and lurk?

Yes, we are stalking/lurking. Be afraid. >_>
By the by, your guide (500g + 48days) has made a fortune for me.
Oh, right now I'm hoarding Wind Halos (about 100), Chapeau Demoniques (maybe 45), and Silk Bow Ties (Have no clue, a lot?). During the past few months I've been hoarding Jack's Bat Clips (45), all of the Spirited items (s**t tons), and Holly Jolly Socks (too many). People have been sending Michael's Memory to me, so I suppose I'm hoarding those as well, but it's unintentional. >_< I...have about 500 of them...if I never see another Michael's Memory again, it'll be too soon.

I collect the Wind Halos because people love Halos? Demoniques because I think they're cute. Silk Bow Ties because I tried to buy one during prom and the price practically tripled overnight. =_= Jack's Bat Clips cuz....I like them. Spirited items because they sold well last year. And Holly Jolly socks because they're cute and people seemed to buy them up last year.

[Jace Quin]

Awesome. That's always nice to hear that I've made other people a fortune. ^.^

I've been tempted to add a testimonials section but... they always seem so fake to me when I read the ones in other places. >.<

[Eilaria]

Your guide really doesn't need a testimonials section. Really, it's well-organized and extremely informative. That's what kept my attention, to be honest.
