Ok, I logged in to find a huge exclaim and a little brown, blue-ribboned, box floating around my screen - Not a bad way to start my Gaian morning (especially since aspects of my RL morning are not shaping up to my ideals of what a morning should be).

So, the question -- Do I open it? -- Sell it for the 3k average price? -- Give it away to one of the very nice Purkles who've given me various gifties the last couple weeks? -- Something else?

I see that there are any number of potential items in it, and if this is anything like Neo, although there exists a chance of the contents being "good", those chances are really pretty slim. Suggestions? Ideas? Experiences?

Open it!!

And if you find some ears - give them to me! biggrin

You know that to sell it you need a sellers pass thing. Do you have one of those?

I don't yet, but it's something that is inevitable anyway. I wanted to finish at least one outfit "correctly" before going into the marketplace realm

I think to be able to buy things it 500gold and then to sell things you need to buy the next pass at 1000 gold. smile

Good Luck.

i'd open it, the one i sold last week only went for 1800K
if you want to sell it make it buy only for a minimum of 3K, but i'm really not sure how well they're selling as the market's been a bit flooded of late

AAAh... ok. What are the real chances of it having something "good" in it, do you think? I have to admit, I'm curious as to its contents!!

not sure to be honest, the contents are what used to be in the enchanted trunk, and they never went for too much, it's more than likely to have fox ears in it i think, that's what a lot of them seem to contain

I found a list of potential items here: http://www.tektek.org/gaia/item_list.php?o=uncommon (does gaia let you post outside links? Not going to bother turning that into a link) but it's not much real help.

Yes, and that makes me think that it's not really worth much, and the chance of the contents being "good" are relatively slim... so I will probably just open it and enjoy doing that, but I've not really made up my mind yet.

the most common things that i got from the brown box was either the hockey mask or the ballin' head gear......i did get fox ears once.....

i always live by this motto..and have posted it several times throughout the guild...the item you get was free...so whether you decide to open it or not and sell you will get a profit either way...the only difference is you could get an item worth only 100g.....but still..that is 100g you didnt have.....

i personally always open...its a weakness..cause i always think..what if it has an item i want in it...but that is me razz xd

On Neo at least, I have opened the birthday goody bags and such, but generally not all of the ones in my possession... I'm a bit torn, because I share your perspective on these things, generally speaking, but I'm also too much an opportunist (sometimes) and will opt for the NPs/gold - especially when I "need" it in order to meet a specific goal...
