What are your tips for making gold this Olympics?

So far I noticed '04 Olympic shirts reaching a high mark of 21k when the Rejected Olympics was 1st announced. It has lowered but its still 2x as much as before. 10kish.

Last years Summers Festival shirts are going for Really nice prices right now (If you are selling!) Barton Festival Shirts being the most expensive (30k) because they are the Rarest. Next is Durem at 18k (largest supply but biggest demand) then the others, Akea and Gambino for 7kish each.

The flags definately help those festival shirts rise. Any matching item in a set helps raise price.

Also with the unannounced release of the panda in the CA I was able to get 5 and sell them for 20-25k each. I kept a panda for myself. I made 100k profit. I then bought a pandy pack at 86k (average was 116k) with the expectation of its price rise.
Vending Tip: ALWAYS keep at least 1 of every event item! Todays event item overkill is next years potential gold boom for you!

I've noticed even with the huge numbers of people on, vending is pretty slow, and it's simply because people are not buying. Which means it's a good time for me to quietly and selectively build up some inventory at the current sale prices. Because no, I don't think prices are going to stay this low over time.

I'm also planning to buy cheap event items in the MP when they're cheap enough. Especially since some of today's games are absolute hell on my tendonitis.

I'd say hoard those eyes! I have no idea why, but Gaians have a huge obsession with eyes.

If they make this a yearly event, these items will sell huge next year.

I agree with ^, hopefully summer events will always deal with some kind of competition between the towns. As long as they do, prices should rise.
The eyes seem to be good investments, but some of the items are in question for me.
