Welcome to Gaia! ::

Yeah, in about 4-5 days (after I pay off my debts, as well), I'm going questing for my guitar again.

*INSERT SIDE NOTE* My friend's Gaiaversary is in a few days. I intend to get him a KiKi Kitty. Unfortunately, I'm going to have to borrow about 36,000 gold to do this. So I'm doing so (hopefully) now, and then I'll have to repay it before I can go questing. This is going to be a total of around 70,000 gold involved*

I want the damned thing back.

I miss it.

You all remember why I sold it--I bitched about that lost CoCo all over the ******** guild. (I use many cuss words because it STILL pisses me off). (The Pangolin Guild, not here. Long story short: I had ALMOST enough gold for a CoCo. About 500 short. So I traded it all to my friend--same friend, actually. Then, somehow, the CoCo that he bought did NOT get sent over to me. So, I was out about 12,000 gold. Then I was impatient, sold almost all of my items, and bought it.)

And, like the stupid person I am (and no matter how much any of you may like me, this WAS stupid), I sold my guitar (which instantly shot up in price) in order to get all of my items back that I sold to get the NEXT CoCo.

I didn't wait to get it (the way that I had before) because I was impatient.

And now I'm out one CoCo and a guitar.

I can't do a damned thing about that CoCo, but I want my guitar back.

So.....

After repaying any debts I may accumulate, I'm going questing for my guitar. Any donations are appreciated. If there are none, that's cool too. The only one who donated last time this happened was minibot bang (who was freaking nifty), and that was when it was only at 10,000.

I'm just telling you, because.......

Yeah.

I'm going to be doing a LOT of spamming for a while.

[/rant]

Which is why I'm glad I donated to get my Coco

And why I never sell fairly recent donation items

Actually, I only sell ones that are deflating

Like the Wind Blanket

God, am I glad I sold before it deflated that much

I think I got about 7k for it, rather than the 3k it's worth now

Really?

Are you sure?

Last time I checked it was 3k

confused

Holy crap, the Coco is inflating like crazy too!

Good idea .___.

Okay, my story pwns all your stories:

About a year ago, I got tired of hording my gold, so I went to the marketplace and got an OMFG for 8.6k.

I held onto it for a few months, then I saw a new item: the CoCo kitty!

I figured, "hmm, that will gain value quickly", and I had 6k.
I sold my OMFG for 9.2k, bought a CoCo for 15k, got back on the next day, and the CoCo was 12k while the OMFG was 21.1k. gonk
Months later, I started my attempt to get my OMFG back.
I started by looking at the marketplace.
OMFG: 22k, CoCo kitty: 19.3k.
Well, I thought, "okay, the CoCo is gain value way faster than the OMFG, so I'll just wait until the CoCo is selling for 6k more than the OMFG, and then I'll sell my CoCo, buy my OMFG."
2 weeks later:
I had 11k, OMFG was selling for 29k, CoCo was 22k.
I thought, "Ho' s**t!"
Sold my CoCo for 21.9k, bought OMFG for 28.9k, got back on the next day. . .
CoCo's were 24k, OMFG's were 23k. stare

Mine gets better.

I bought NiBu a KiKi for his Gaiaversary. So, since I knew that ct101 and his mule were freaking rich, I asked to borrow money--36,000 gold. I could make that back within a month. But then prices rose again, so I PMed this girl whose KiKi had expired (and I could afford), offering the trade.

Then the prices went back down, and I got one for cheaper.

About a week or so later, she sends me the trade. I felt too badly about it to refuse, since I obviously had forgotten to PM her, telling her to cancel the thing.

So I borrowed 46,000 MORE gold from ct101.

I now owe ct101 82,000 gold, and it's due back July 26th.

Damn.

I've got 669 gold.

(I've been Market-whoring. I've got a Marketplace Thread set up in the Pangolin Guild.)

I'm starting to see a trend. rofl

Why didn't you just refuse?

I don't think I have ever had that much money

Ever

Maybe all my items are worth that much

Maybe

Damn myself for being a lurker for the first year or two!
