Lol. I think it's because they're so easy to get. I'm sure tons of people have hoards of them.

Hm, I would suggest hanging on to the Halloween 07 one.^-^
Just because the yumehs are in it.
The other event items I think should be easy to get back if you ever sell them.:3
The New Year's Pin is pretty popular but I think you could always find another seller with the right offer.
Lots of people seem to buy VDay 08 items here and there, so I always keep a couple sets of those on hand.:3
The other events I don't really care for.xD
But the St. Pattys seem popular too.:3

@Winter - I don't think anyone can steal that one away, you are like almost all of the "last posts" on all the threads in the exchange. XD I only find myself posting in certain threads after reading through them more. It's like you have friends in all the threads, and you're able to just type and post without even reading. o_o I don't know how you do it. XD

@Rhythm - Yeah I would have to agree with your analysis of what Winter said about those items. They are kinda easy to get - everyone has a lot of em. I have three total even. Though i did purchase them at like 200 gold a pop. XD

As for the halloween stuff - yeah I dunno, I was thinking of holding onto it. But then again, people are clamoring for Yumeh items right now and I'd like to sell. Either way though. I'll need pure.

So I'll probably have to get them, then get out of them, then get them again over and over. D:

Yeah I kept the Patty or V-day stuff. I dunno. I will come up with some way of doing this: If I'm here every day things can't balloon out of proportion with what I think too quickly. XD

XD I dunno. Seems like some items just aren't used as much.

Me? I'm saving for uhhh....items. I guess. XD I usually go into these things with a plan like: I want one of everything or I want these and these commons. I said ultimately that I'd like to be at a point where I can relax and say that I can buy everything i want, and that it's just a choice not to.

Though I guess I would like to increase my inventory to the point where it's at least on par with others'. Like maybe Bartuc's. And uh...my gold count to surpass Spirit Angel Girl.

Lol. All the Winter items are always so cheap.>.<
Someone sold me the O8 set the other day for 5OOg. lolol.

I think you should keep that yumeh.
Someone's going to sell it to her with that offer anyways.
Then the value will go up soon, then you should sell.:3
Rather than sell now, then the value going up even more.

& LOL. You seem like a hardcore exchanger.xD

You're probably right but at the same time, I could maybe sell her the Yumeh then buy another Yumeh in the middle for less, and uh...

I dunno. XD;

I used to be yeah, but now I'm in Mene and I have to think about other things than just the money. ^^ My problems in Gaia were based around my exchanging, so I have to take it easy and play things safe here. Selling to people can also increase their estimation of you. I hate to be hard-nosed sometimes because of that. At the same time, I don't want to get ripped off and I know when I am.

At least I have that knowledge so I can make the best choice possible in any situation. XD

@Windy - lol Why does it not surprise me that you have only that few to go. XD

I just zone out and kill things, like over in the Haunted Mansion in those doors - people would try to KS me, and then I'd just KS them back. It's good to be a CB sometimes. XD Though Hermits try to do it and there are people who don't mind spamming a kill the screen ability on each spawn.

In terms of you knowing the prices, I know you know the prices. XD And my hope is that you know I know the prices. So that's the problem with two exchangers bidding on each others' stuff. That's why I never have offered to buy Nesseh's items. I don't think I would be doing her a service by offering low. X.x

Eh.
That's true, but then again, unless I don't have the means to at the moment and REALLY want that item, I'll offer middle price guide. :3

Well, as long as everyone follows the price guide, there won't be a too low or too high.

Yes.
I agree.

But the price guide is wrong sometimes! XD It's not a good indicator of what items are like...too low or what items may be undervalued.

Rather, I guess it doesn't show how often those items are sold. Then again, I have yet to see a price guide take into consideration the amount of times an item is sold. And that could be easily manipulated as well.

So to simply things, everyone obey the PG.
PG is law.
PG is God.

xD
I'm really glad that the PG is priced by moderators though.
I can't imagine how manipulated and twisted it'd be with users updating it.

Yeah. I dunno.

I used to own a user-generated price guide. I got a lot of people saying I was manipulating prices or doing things to generate my own profits, since I was selling at the time as well. But I always updated -after- I sold something. So...can't really change the prices to sell something and benefit from it if I sold that item prior to the update. XD But either way, I updated like 50 time a day I swear. So it was the best updated guide for awhile.

But I can see how there would be an incentive for someone to mess around with the prices for their own benefit. Or I can also see how people might think it's being messed around with for others' benefit. Then again, mods are people too: As evidenced by a certain mod getting banned for banning people and taking their items to sell off-site, people can be twisted sometimes.

*shrug* Ultimately it's up to us as users to report discrepancies and the mods to enforce some sort of reason on it so that they don't take a 4K item and turn it into something valued at 100K. XD (Extreme example, but you know what I mean)

Nobody has to ever be sorry about replying late to me, unless we're in the middle of a trade, then it's like... Guhh. @[email protected]

@Windy - It was that guy "Mike" I think?

And yeah: There were times when I felt that someone was screwing around with prices for their own benefit. But it was provable. Best I could do is update mine according to an exchanger's view on items. Maybe I didn't have the long lists of proof. But I did for sure believe that I knew what items were flukes, what items were being artificially increased in price, what items were falling, what items were going to rise and be popular in the future, etc.

It is taken into consideration. Though lately its been getting update by two moderators with long work days lately. So we have been relying on users as well as staff to report sales.

As for the items that rarely sell such as the Valentines, Pattys, Fans, and Crowns. We try to judge best on the majority of the offers and do an average. A vday Hairpin sold for 450k one time but that was one offer that high. The rest of the offers were 280k-300k. Someone just decided to overpay.. alot. It is just hard for the mods who update to be everywhere a sale takes place.

lol I'm not used to you talking in "OMG MOD SERIOUS VOICE." :P

Yeah: the problem with those rare items is that they almost become "Whatever the user that owns it wants." And/or whatever the buyers are paying at the time for it. So I guess that would be insanely tough to update. I know I was never able to really update the price for Halo on Gaia. I just said that "You know, this thing usually sells for 3 bear hats' worth. Judge accordingly."

But as for a lot of recent stuff, I admit I haven't really reported sales so much, since a lot of my trades are like, item + gold for multiple items. XD That and I try to buy within or lower than price guide price while selling for around high.

But there's a few that are probably undervalued. I guess I'm just capitalizing on that while they're low on the guide? Might be mean of me. But there's no proof that they're higher, it's just that I believe they are. And beliefs of prices = nada to most of the world. Except exchangers.

@Rhythm - lol Yeah that's what I heard anyway. That guy was a walking talking sucking up mod wannabe when I was here at the beginning of Mene. He had reasons for it. It wasn't just to help people. I think he told me his reasons. But whatever.

lol That's my understanding of the situation, I don't know if I'm right or not, but I heard that's what he got in trouble for and that the whole taking advantage of mod-powers thing occurred. If that's what happened, it's regrettable. But I could see it happening.

lol I speak pretty normal for the most part.

I remember that. XD I wouldn't mind revamping up the MPG here a bit. Just gotta find time for it. Though, I think it does need an update. I haven't looked at it since I left for guat and I know it wasn't updated then.

I am bad with reporting my own. I normally keep a mental track of what I sell though.

I know how you work. XD No need to explain to me.

lol

Order armor has to be more than 1K I will say that right now. Blind Justice is coming up in the world. Yumeh Cat Ears and Tail are lower than they probably go for. I know Pirate/Ninja low price is 7K, but that's only because the price guide says it's 6-7K and everyone wants the 7K. (Probably should be 7K+) The Winter Presents aren't 200 each anymore. I don't think they are anyway, I'm having a hell of a time generating any interest, and while I have three, that's facts. I dunno about some of the other items though.

I could list others but that's the main ones that come to mind atm.
