I want to get a Mona´s Potion and Top Rhythms to finish an avatar.

My main income comes from playing zOMG! a lot, and right now I
have 245K aprox., because I finished another avatar some days ago.

(I have to study a lot, and studied a lot in the past 2 weeks,
so I didn't play too much, and will not play until next week).

I know that investing that amount of gold will not get me
near to get them at the same time, but maybe a little faster.

Reading topics here and there in the guild, and with my
inexperience on vending, I came to think just two vague choices:

- Invest on one of the new RIG items, and wait for the RIG to go down to sell.

- Invest on something else that is currently inflating with that price range, and try to make some profit later.

The problem is, those items are from the latest
bundle, so they might inflate when the bundle goes down.

I might get enough gold playing zOMG! next week (winter vacations).

Then, the RIG might go down and inflate the items.

I'm kind of stuck right there.

Any investing advices for someone who doesn't have time this week to do anything?

Practice vending with smaller items until you get confident enough with larger items. If you can't handle those small losses you won't be a good vendor. It takes NERVES OF STEEL BABY!!!

Lord Gwee is right: the time to start vending isn't when you NEED the gold, but when you can afford to let it ride. Most items are not good for getting large amounts of gold quickly, requiring patience and a decent time frame to pay off.

And vending and investing take some practice - not only to figure out the mechanics, but also your own personal risk tolerance. Some people jump in with both feet and find they're in over their heads, which keeps them up at night. I'm of the firm belief that NO game should rob you of sleep - if it does, something's wrong.

For short term gold accumulation - you've already got zOMG, have you also tried selling off some of your zOMG loot or farming for the items that have the greatest MP value right now?

There's also Booty Grab. It's still quite lucrative, if not quite as fast as it was with Dolphinmania.

Update:

Well, I actually kept playing zOMG! for some days and fully last week and bought both of them.

With spare 500K that I kept spending scream

I'll keep trying to learn, and risk myself and vend.

Thanks for the advices!

But I hate Booty Grab emo
