Last time I checked, a bundle was going for a little over 1 mill. Hmm...maybe this is because it's new.... Do you think I should buy some and hoard them, or buy and sell now? They do have the crimson marrionette item, and last time I checked, that was going for over 20 mil, and I'd soooo love to try my chances and get one from Arcana Break...but I've done that before, got nothing but crap, and it's been gold wasted for nothing.... Maybe the fact that arcana bundles are so expensive is because people may get rare items such as crimson marionette. But... there's this old saying. 'If I didn't have bad luck, I'd have no kind of luck at all' So I think I will resist the tempation to open any RIG items in future lols...

Umm...if you're looking to buy with cash, I would buy and sell now.

If you're looking to buy off the vend and resell, since they are currently going for 1.1 mil ish I would buy for 1 mil and below and resell at 1.1 mil ish for quick profit. That depends on the current going price though (e.g. if they were going for 1 mil I would try and buy at 900k and resell for quick profit).

If you're looking to hoard, I would wait a few weeks and try to estimate when prices are lowest and start stocking up then. If you're talking about using cash right now...I would buy the bundles with cash, sell them, and save that gold to hoard them in a few weeks when I think prices are at or near their lowest.

I would not recommend opening these bundles because they seem to mostly have a bad turnout in regards to what items you get. lol

Yeah, it'd have to be cash because I'm doubting no one will sell for 10k which is my peasant amount of gold at the moment, lols. I bet noobs have more gold than I do at the moment. rofl

cherry pick? Never heard that description before. What does it mean? And I ended up caving and buying with cash and then selling 2 bundles for over a mil each. I really don't have the time to look for bargains, and If I happen to be around, other people are always faster at getting the item than I am, and I am left choking on the dust they left behing, lols. Now, I think I will stock up on inks and sell at a good price. I usually buy blue inks at 400g and sell in a bundle, with the pricing at 500g each

it means that instead of buying a bundle and hoping you get the item you want from the bundle...or RIG i mean. you instead find the list of items in the rig and then put em on your wish list and buy em. and yes i know it can be annoying but the price does go down, you just have to have patience smile


case in point: cat faces.

it was over 3 mill

now its going down to 1.2.

slowly but surely faces of cats shall be mine!

don't take the chance.. most of the time it's a loss.
it's at a high right now because it was just released yesterday..
I usually wait 3 weeks to start investing in them since they'll be lower in price by then.
so if you had GC then buying the bundles from the cash store and selling now is most ideal.
only reason to buy a single or bundle now is if you can make an immediate profit.
patience.

Yeah. I was tempted to buy cat faces but then I will wait to see when it comes down in price. The most I am willing to spend on a cut paste item like that is 400k no more. I bought a Midnight Club in the exchange last night for 500k and sold it on MP for 560k, making a profit of over 50k so I'm pleased about that. mrgreen

Yeah. And with the gold saved up I can then buy the items I want from the rigs by waiting until price drops 3nodding

Neverrrrrr everrrr open those beastly items! If you buy cash I would advice you to buy RIGs the moment they're released, sell 'em on the MP, wait til 3/4 of the month has passed (e.g. today) where RIGs hit the lowest.. Rack 'em back up and sit on them til a month or more when they're out of shops. ^^

i bought four bundles. :S <3
PostPosted: Sat May 07, 2011 9:49 am


It's a little late to be saying this but
Don't open them.


I got a good deal 2 weeks ago and bought 99 of them for 5m about 50.5k each and bought an extra one for 70k to even it even. (50.7k)

I wish I would of solld them.. But yah.. Curiosity killed the Duudle.
I could of made a potential 2-3m from this but I lost about 2-2.5m Instead.

I got about 12 things that were worth 90-100k

2 Gegner ='ing 800k
1 Velvatine ='ing 350k
2 Starilit Promises ='ing 420k
From a 100.

17/100 for decent selling items? Not a really good investment. :<
