Welcome


Here you will learn the basics of vending. Learn and earn your "scholarship", and post a picture here of you earning 1 mill and up in your market, and you will be placed in the "scholar table" with a special name based on how much you have sold.

First Lesson:

First, and most important way of earning gold by vending in gaia is by Monthly Collectibles. Monthly Collectibles get higher price over the time they have been on gaia, and their rarity. Depending on how many people have joined gaia, since the time of it's "coming out" then the higher the price when it is in the marketplace in some time. The less available to people, the more price it will have. People tend to open up Monthly Collectible Cards, and ruin a perfectly good collection. That's why you should always try to buy a Mothly Collectible Card, and be patient to wait at least until you get a 50% profit, which you surely have to know basic maths to egt a good profit. The basic knowledge of actually achieving big gold is to be patient and wait for the right time to sell an item. The right amount of time concurs when the item is at its highest peak, so be sure to sell it there before it goes down again, or wait until it gets even higher than that.

Second Lesson:

Second, RIGs, or Random Item Generators. These items go higher due to its rarity or completely dissappear from Gaia, due to people opening them. These items, if you want to make a profit out of them, should NOT be opened. They should be sold when they have gone out of the cash shop, and are less in numbers, and due to their rarity, they will be worth a lot of gold. RIGs should be hoarded, and sold when they are out of the marketplace, though they will be harder to sell, but they will make a very nice profit. These items do not confer a good prize if you bash in and open them, so make sure to hoard and sell them when they are out of the marketplace.

Third Lesson:

Normal status items are some hard items to predict whether they are going up or going down. These items tend to get bumpy, and only few of them ever actually go up. These items should be sold when they reach their highest price, immediately! The items that are unpredictable should always be under observation for outbursts of selling. Mostly holiday items are the ones that have sudden outbursts, and sell magnificently in that holiday, so make sure you sell them at the right time, or you might end up losing gold.

Last Lesson:

Let's finish up with percentages. Percentages are the numbers that appear on the sides of an item, that points out at which ate is the assigned item going up or going down. These numbers cannot be trusted, therefire, always check on the marketplace for exact pricing on the item. Though these numbers cannot be trusted, they are somewhwat useful in percepting an item, and may be found true that the item is raising in such a magnitude. Use these numbers wisely, so they can help you. If you use them badly and trust in them too much, you might end up losing gold.

Scholar Table:


1. Spectra Katsuni - Apprentice rank (little over 2,000,000 gold earned)
2. Rei_Toei - Advanced rank (almost to 15,000,000 gold earned)
3. Mr_DiAbLo_X_ - Apprentice rank (little over 2,000,000 gold earned)
4. Tsukikowerewolf - Apprentice rank (little over 1,000,000 gold earned)
5. Neji_Hyuga of the leaf - Middle rank (little over 5,000,000 gold earned)

I'm going to have to disagree with you about the RIGs.
Most of the time, you can get the best profit out of them if you sell them on the exact hour of release because that is when everyone wants to try their hand.

Secondly, RIGs are, in fact, rereleased.
The Lucky chest in the Aquarium has given out the more recent RIGs as prizes.

Why do you think the Emerald Seed hasn't skyrocketed after a really long time?
Same goes for the most recent RIGs.
