At least the April items were quite nice...and for now at least...

M is a shark! Complete with a makeshift dorsal fin, no less. XD I'll probably be back to my elven avatar sooner rather than later...but for now, I'm too amused by the shark get-up I've come up with.

Now if they can start getting some musical instruments and such, then we'll be in business.

Very makeshift... Most Dorsal fins aren't, y'know, located on or forward of the head.

I'm sure you knew that, of course.

Ahahaha....

Looks like Mchan has discovered my secret of building up a small fortune in Gaia.

I'm guessing it's buying the collectibles then selling them later on?

OH! Yeah. I have some items in my stock worth a fortune. The pendent I wear alone it a couple hundred thousand at this point. Even though I would never EVER sell me Angelic Pendant. Thinking about selling my demonic on though.

/notes that Paran is now wearing the Seisuiseki eyes/ I knew it. As soon as I saw those on the graphic listing all of the equip modes, I knew you'd be all over that.

Yeah, the Monthly Collectibles are a big source of cash. The page advertising them talks about how the Mini Angel Wings are worth several million by now. Then, too, there are Gift Credits...you can donate to Gaia and get what amount to gift certificates, redeemable at any Gaia NPC store except Prize & Joy, at the rate of 2,000g per US$1.00. If you'd rather have real GAIA Gold, to use in the Marketplace to buy past Monthly Collectibles, you can always buy a ton of Gift Credits, use them to buy really expensive NPC store items, and then immediately sell those items back to the store. 1000g per US$1.00 still isn't bad. Or, you can get a better deal than that by selling the expensive NPC store items in the Marketplace.

Pory's right. The gift credits really aren't a bad deal. They're worth it for some items...such as the elegant vests. Mwa-ha.

I am in fact contemplating selling the scythe in the future, but for now, it's quite fun...as more of an accent to the shark ensemble than a makeshift dorsal fin.

I'm honestly really unimpressed with the poses the scythe offers and will prolly be selling it off soon, unless somebody here is dying to have one.

I think selling donation items for 6-10k each is a much better deal than buying gift cards though. Particularly when they end up as valuable as some of the ones I'd been hording. Back when I was actively using Gaia I usually donated 5-10 dollars a month, kept 1 or 2 items for myself, gave one to a friend and sold the rest. Unfortunately for me the one thing I really want is waaay to expensive through my normal methods of money gathering. At 700k gold, it would take approximatiely 80 donation items or $200 to get it... and that's just beyond the scope of sensibility to me.

But yeah... Suiseiseki eyes was hard to pass up..... desu.

Yeah, my dream item is nearing 400K I might bite the bullet and sell off some of the things worth a lot in my inventory to have it and then get some other donation items and sell them off. Sigh. I want me some winged anklets

Oh man I wish the Economy in World of Warcraft was anything like the one in Gaia desu.
Put anything up in the marketplace here priced 2-300 less than the lowest current one in there and it gets bought instantaneously desu.

Put something in the Auction Hall on WoW for less and people will instanteously start putting their stuff even lower. Such a pain desu.

Oh and for anyone looking to make some gold in a hurry... those scythes are selling for like 16k each right now. That's one of the best initial values on a donation item I've seen in a while. I'm halfway tempted to pick up a few more while they're hot desu.

That's IT! I need my anklets! I am selling everything of value I can bare to part with to get them. O_o  
PostPosted: Tue Apr 17, 2007 10:45 pm
Hm...before I put it on the market, would anybody like a hockey mask? I got a brown giftbox for cheap and that's what was inside.

I'm also still baffled by the fact that selling just over $5 worth of items suddenly garnered me about 60000 gold.

*EDIT: Okay...make it a lot more than that...wow. Anyways, some guy also traded me two nice items for a scythe, one of which was the Elemental Hair. (If you're curious, Kakumei's avatar currently has one of its modes equipped on her mermaidy self.) If anyone wants that, let me know.

Geez, I've become a Gaia fiend...XD

Much good fortune and happiness upon M-Chan, who gave me the cosmic wrap she got in a scythe trade for just 700 gold (she offered it for free but I had to give her SOMETHING.. I hope I can properly repay it at some point XD)

No problem, Bonzai. ^_^

And Amby, the anklets look lovely!
