User ImageWelcome User Image

Hello, and welcome to the Gaian Exchange Network! We are only a very general, sometimes incorrect, price guide of the rares, uncommons, and other special types of items that are found in Gaia.

The G.E.N. does not support flaming of any type, including flaming of other price guides or their supporters. We encourage the use of other price lists along with the G.E.N. to improve pricing accuracy. You may wish to reference the other price guides like the Estimated Value Item List (E.V.I.L.), the Lucky DEVIL Price Guide and the Gaian Consumer Guide (G.C.G.) along with the G.E.N.

For common items, we suggest using the official Gaia Items List, the unofficial Complete Store Items List, the Store Directory, or the Gaian Consumer Guide to look up store prices. Common items can be sold to the store for 50% of their store price.

Additionally, there are groups in Gaia that exist to help you if you believe you have been scammed or cheated. You can report problems you have to the G.E.P.D. Blacklist where you can find people always willing to help. You can also PM any online moderator in case you encounter problems with other users while doing business in the Exchange.

Have you see an auction that contradicts the price guide? Please post the auction URL and the item's name. We cannot count any sales/auctions/etc. if the URL is not posted.

User ImageThe GEN FAQ User Image


Concerning the GEN...
Quote:
Q. Why even have a GEN? It controls the prices of everything!
A. The purpose of the GEN is not to control prices. We simply record the prices that we see in the Exchange/Vend and change our estimated values to fit those. If some people choose to quote the GEN in their own auctions, that is their choice.

Q. But someone just came into my auction and quoted the GEN. Isn't it your fault?
A. We do not encourage people to quote the GEN in the auctions of others; in fact, we discourage it. If the user feels that they must point out the GEN estimated value of some item, then he or she should carry it out by PM and not by posting under most circumstances.

Q. Will you sell me ?
A. No. We are not a store, an auction house, or a wanted thread. Buying and selling belongs in the Exchange, not here.

Q. What is a GENer?
A. A GENer, or member of the GEN, is someone who has been around the GEN for a while and/or has contributed to the GEN in some way. It is not like being in a guild or being part of the Blacklist's G.E.P.D.

Q. How can I become a GENer?
A. Be helpful in the GEN, don't spam here, don't bump here, and most of all: don't ask.

Q. How can I help the GEN?
A. Answer questions relating to the economy, keep on the subject of the economy as much as possible in the GEN guild, post links to auctions that may indicate a change in prices, and so on.

Q. How do I write/submit an essay?
A. Simply write about something concerning the economy in the Exchange/Vend. Make sure it is well written. Essays in all caps, very large letters, and l33t will not be linked on this page. Also, make it a decent length, as in more than one or two paragraphs.

Q. Why are the store items (or commons) not listed?
A. Store items have a fairly set price. Obviously, most buyers will not pay above the amount that the store sells the item for. (An exception to this is a user trying to get an item not of his or her own gender.) Most sellers want at least 50% of the store price because they can sell the item back to the store for that amount. Therefore, the price of commons is always 50-100% of the store value. Selling a common for more than the store price can be considered scamming, a bannable offense.

These Present Boxes are not rares, uncommons, donation letters, etc. They are containers of items, but they can contain anything, even the cheapest of commons. Do not allow yourself to be scammed; do not purchase these for the items they contain.

User ImagePrice GuideUser Image


Introduction
Disclaimer: The GEN is NOT always accurate. Prices change constantly, so items may sell for MORE or LESS than the estimated value of an item in the Exchange. We are only a guide and do not have to be taken strictly.

The GEN is also not responsible for users selling items below the store's sellback value. Estimated values are gathered from the prices that items sell for in the Exchange, regardless of sellback.


Commons sell back to the stores for 50% of what they can be purchased for there; therefore, they are not listed as prices generally stay between the sellback price and the full price. Selling above full store price can be considered scamming.


The price list works like this:
Item image
Item name
How item is obtained without buying it in the Exchange or the Marketplace
Sellback: the price that the item can sell to the store for (may be more than estimated value)
Estimated Value: the estimated price at which the item might sell at in the Exchange (may be less than sellback)
Gender: which gender(s) can equip the item on their avatars
Equip: which slot the item fills when equipped (if it can be equipped)
Comments: any extra information concerning the item
Last Checked On: the date that the estimated value was last changed or checked (what was changed/checked is in parentheses)
Last Checked By: the GENer that last updated the item value



Tip: Since the price list is very long, use Ctrl + F to search for a specific item.

Want to write something for me to add? Go ahead and post it here! If it has a title and is written fairly well with good spelling, we will be sure to add it. Just be sure that it is related to the Gaian economy or the Exchange itself, not just to the items involved or to Gaia in general.
Please avoid using quotations, smileys, and excessively bright colors.
Try to make it longer than a paragraph.
