Alll she wanted was a bouquet, was that too much to ask?


Really tho, the market people are really money-hungry or something. I just want a deluxe bouquet with a purple ribbon. It was flippping 300 grand.
I don't have that kind of money!
Discuss other over-priced items ->Monthly collections are another thing on the list.

What makes it even more painfull is that there are nuts out there that are willing to buy it, when its obviously not worth it.

ugh yeah, that's most likely a misprice and if not the person selling is a jerk.

No kidding.

But you know, I actually don;t think thats too bad of an idea... the "If no one else has one I can sell it for a pretty penny" thing.

If you wait a day or two it'll probably go down. What I think is really funny is when people will buy store items in the marketplace for more than they will in the store. rofl Yes, I'm a horrible person. I'll buy things out of the stores and then sell them in the marketplace to make a profit. You've got to be a bit more careful with it now with the 2% thing though.

Oh don't worry, you're not a bad person. Everyone gets what wants in the end. It's not real money ( Thank God) And with people who flaunt around like that, whats a couple hundred or so worth?
Yeah, I guess that makes me a hypocrite too. sweatdrop

Usually, I bought the items in the MP and sell them to the store. If the item price is less than 50% the real price, of course. It's a good marketing strategy.
