ok so this is what happen.(Flash back)
Just a few minutes ago around 2:00-2:14 i was showing my buddy some recipes from a book that i checked out.(Pillsbury Best of the Bakeoff 350recipes) And as I started to show him he said"Please put it away for the love of God." So I continued showing recipes. Then he says" For the love of the devil please stop." So I keep showing him(at this point I'm in the chapter of bread,and boy do they look tasty) So then he pleads" For the lovve of your friends, please stop." I then ask"The love I give them or the love I recieve?" "The love you recieve" So I keep on showing him(We're at the pies and tarts, very good) "For the love that you give them!"So I started to close the book then quickly open and went through the rest of the 100 and some recipes that were left." What kind of love is that?"
"The smiles I give are my love...and besides, you didnt help wwith the project." And thats what happen....maybe it was a little mean that i did that......But they did look wonderful!!

well not literally, I'll always be on mene!!!
Its just that my classes are going to be change and i wont have a computer class anymore so I can only get on aft er school and weekends.
So i will keep making one blog per day around the same timespan until you see a blog that is after 4:00pm(thats when my classes get changed)

So, this last week I have been back I have assessed the issue and started on my way to correct. Managed to start the push around of items and starting to remove mass amounts of the overabundance off the exchange. And managed to net in quite a substantial amount of profit. I have realized the exchange itself is in an utter state of depression. There is profit to be made everywhere, but no one seems to be buying at all. Few users have massed together the majority of the gold on this site. Between all the users I know of with 50k+ You are looking at about 1.4m gold spread around 10 users. This is most definitely the problem in the exchange. Users are hoarding up gold for events they do not care that they are killing the exchange. There is honestly no real way to correct this problem. As they care not about the state of the exchange, just what effects them and their goals.

Current Profit Made in week 1: 207,650 gold

All my profit values are not reflected in liquid gold. Most of my profits have been turned into items and I am basing them off the actual sell value of the items. So, could be higher, if I get lucky on a sale.

As some know, I have been out of the exchange as a trader since December 2008. I stopped actively trading when I finished my quest and became a staff member. I kept being in there as it is and will always be my home on Menewsha. It is what I do and it is something I have always enjoyed. I continued to trade when I could to help friends on their quests and slowly build up and trade away my ever growing hoard of stuff. Around January 2010 I took a very much needed hiatus from this site.

Earlier this month I came back in full to see that not much as changed between prices except for a few select things. This got me to thinking. There is a lack of movement of items in the exchange. Which for a healthy economy to run on a site, it needs movement and demand. So, aside from helping some friends with their quests, starting up a recruitment contest in the Contests Forum. I have decided to take on a new quest on Menewsha after 2 years of not questing at all. This quest will be demanding of myself as well as the active users of Menewsha.

I am going to spend this next year, when not busy with work or school, doing nothing but trading. I want to see this market thrive the way it use it. I want to see new users coming onto this site and staying, but most of all. I want to fight this stale, dried up exchange we have. I will not use the Menewsha Price Guide as a revolt against the users who base this as a bible for everyday buying and selling. I am going to simply use the knowledge I have and try to go with how items actually sell, not by what is listed. I will use autobuys, but will haggle with people. I will help questers as I have always done. I will work with people.

I will keep a blog about 1-2 times a week on current profits made. I will help new and old people alike if they have any questions. However, I will no longer stand for this anti-natural inflation. I [b]will not[/b] artificially inflate prices. I think that is lame and if people need to fuck with prices like that to make profit, they really need to learn a few lessons on marketing.

Inflation is not a bad thing. Inflation happens when more people come into a site and items are less obtainable. There are items now automatically and naturally inflating as they go up for sale. While the rest stay low and to the ground, barely moving from whence [i]I stopped trading in 2008[/i]. I wholeheartedly believe that the natural inflation I saw in 2008 stopped when several of us finished our quests. We were actively buying everything that could help us. When we finished our quests the markets power of traders slowed down drastically. Leaving the few who had not finished their quests. Which left a massive gap in the between high item traders and low item traders. I left the high item area when I no longer needed the items to obtain anything else, I left it to those who wanted them or needed them to obtain others. Now the market has died and partially to my own fault.

This chapter in my career on Menewsha will probably make me several enemies. Hopefully will make me many more friends though. My goal is to not turn this into gaia. Infact, I wish to make this the polar opposite. A non-controlled naturally inflating economy. That, is my overall goal. To put this economy in the place where it should have been in 2009 and 2010.
