I've come up with somewhat of a good idea to get kiki prices down. Boycott! The reason they went up in the first place is because people horde and sell them higher, thus, creating an imbalance and causing price rise. It isn't supply and demand at work. It's greed and manipulation.

If you cut off their income from them, they'll be forced to lower prices.

And now people are gonna say I'm crazy and that it's a part of life. From 20k to 50k in like 1-2 days is not normal!

I'm guessing the 50k came from T3h Vending Guild's new topic. But I saw most around 35k... Still, it's exorbitant. They came out only in March, but I see they'll be going the way of the June 2004 items...
I have one, but I don't find it as adorable as most people. Its eyes are creepy... eek

The Kiki kitty plushie, one of the items in the March 2005 letter (the other being the Roro robo puppy), is one of the two handheld and official Gaia 'pets'. They're not alive or anything... But they can be formed into different poses.

Princess Aylanoke xd Good point.

But they can be formed into different poses. yeah, i found out after asking (gee, what checking the announcements can accomplish!) i want one, being a cat lover (erm... that might come across wrong, judging from my avatar), but I just don't think they're worth 25k, y'know? rolleyes Sucks though. I wish I could get one.

Jedi_Junkie I want an OMG, and I honestly don't think they're worth 500k. Tough cookies. I'm tired of seeing people whine about inflation, it is a part of any economy whether you like it or not. And as far as Economics is concerned, that's not inflation. Inflation would be seeing the Pimpin' Yellow Shirt in stores for 12k (which I just bought for 8k (was that a good deal?)) and coming back later and finding it 15k... Supply and demand... but yeah, we should boycot them. domokun

I'd like an OMG, but they're a little too spendy for my pocket. sweatdrop I'd also like a nightmare headband, but that's also very much out of my price range. xd *is poor*

The thing is, this price jumping is more like extortion than inflation. It's not a simple supply and demand thing anymore. The Haves know that they can charge whatever they want for their item because of all the desperate Have-nots. It's greed, pure and simple.
