Is it really worth the time get every freebie available daily, such as daily chances and freebies in zOMG, as well as buying under priced items in marketplace and in exchange and selling them back to the store for a small profit (pancakes). OR just playing booty grab for the time it takes to do that. I understand that if you have time, why not do both? But if someone has say, 2 hours to be online, is it not a better use of time to just BG?

I disable the daily chances so my pages load (slightly) faster. To me they are a nuisance and I am absolutely positive that booty grabbing instead of playing those daily chances is far better.

They're freebies, but they're a waste of time.

Actually-- I take that back. I believe my brother book-marked the 'daily chance' on each page so he would just open up a new window and click on all 5 bookmarks on tabs and instantly get all of the prizes without hardly any effort. You may want to consider trying that.

Forgive me for adding in my two cents' worth (go ahead and delete this post if you wish), but I did do some data gathering on these awhile ago and posted the results in my journal:

Daily Chance
zOMG Daily Chance

I have BetterGaia.
You can just go to "My Gaia" then click "Daily Chance" in the top right and you can open all five pages but that way works too.

Why is Bani the Bunny a good investment?

Are there ways you can tell, if you're vending and have enough time to open the mp listing for that item in another tab (Unless it's a misprice, obv.) that:
- The price for the item you're buying (even though it's a bit cheaper than the rest and you can get a small profit) will go up and you will get screwed over and lose some gold?
It's happened to me a few times since I started vending and it's a bit annoying.

@ Purple-- touche' numbers always trump instinct. It's actually really nice to see those numbers and the zOMG one's are quite impressive.

I've never heard of bettergaia-- it sounds like an interesting application though.

Why is Bani the Bunny a good investment?

Bani is cute with a lot of poses and not only is it going to do well in Spring/Easter but it will also perform well in the Christmas season-- also its color and style can be complemented by a lot of other items.

When I vend, unless I know the current price of the item very well I don't instantly buy. Cutting losses is never fun, so unless its a clear mis-price I will not automatically buy it. Taking the time to tab and price-check is better than losing gold.

What I learned while vending is that if you don't know the current price of the item, then usually neither do other people. So once you've become acquainted with most all of the common prices in the MP then you will be able to safely do a quick price check.

Slaurels evil evil evil evil evil evil evil

jkjk I would say horns are definitely superior to G.Laurels.

As far as I know BRAIN owns an Angelic Halo along with a plethora of hoards.

I don't claim to be one of the vastly rich elite on Gaia-- just someone keen on investing and making gold quickly.

I joined in late 2008-- and no, I doubt I am worth 1/4 of BRAIN. Maybe 1/8, but unlikely 1/4.
