Checked my mule. Sadly I don't have any of those. :(
I'm missing half of those, too! They're such neat items, huh? Sadly items seem harder and harder to get on here, though, and the rate of inflation is insane.

8000 gold for a new CI? Nope. I remember when CIs were 1k each. If I had spare of those items, I would gladly help you out. But I struggled to get some of them myself!

Thank you much, Kirin! I'll check out the thread! I hadn't even poked my nose into Exchange threads yet to see if anyone was selling them the old school way. xD

No worries. xD I will find them eventually. Thank you so much for offering and looking, though!

Yeaaah. I don't mind natural inflation. 3-4k for a new CI? Reasonable, I think. (Not excited to pay it, but I wouldn't blame anyone for charging it.) 8k? That seems a bit much. o_o

Thank you, also, for thinking of me. :3

I'm not gonna lie, I sell the latest CI for 8k for the first couple hours a CI comes out. As soon as 3 or 4 hours goes by, the max price they sell for is like 6k. And it keeps going down, that's why most of that stuff also has a low buy price of 2.5-4.5k, because that's what you can sell it at after the first day.

I bring the price down if it doesn't sell in a day or 2, but for some reason people buy the latest CI for 8k -shrugs-

I see nothing wrong with taking advantage of those who are willing to pay it. xD I just wouldn't. >_> Hopefully I didn't offend!

It's because people, except for the few rare ones, only sell it for that at first and some people do have a bit of gold saved up. I see no reason for it to be put that high from the beginning and I think it only makes inflation worse. I don't think people lower it after a few days much, because I know that the low buy price is actually from people that just always sell it for that low price for the poor ones of us that can't pay the other prices.

And I know it steps on toes to say that, but it is my honest opinion, and it makes me sad to see it here on Mene. When brand new items go for more than years old rares, then I think that's a real issue. And when EI's sell in the thousands. Now that's crazy. You use to easily be able to get them in the low hundreds.

I'm not steadfastly against inflation. It gives those who use their real world money to buy CIs and other mennies items feel like they're getting their money's worth. I just don't want to see it get out of hand. I'll have to watch the economy for a little while to see how it's going before I have a really firm opinion.

I'm not gonna lie (sorry I say that so much), if I'm buying a CI from someone, I'll price it between 2.5-5k if it's new. If I'm buying an old CI from someone, I go off of the highest price usually. Although, if I find it in the MP for cheaper, I don't mind buying cheap while I still can. When I sell them later, I will use the highest buy price to sell them (for art most likely, or older CIs).

That's just one person's opinion on the whole price of items topic.

Hopefully you all don't find me as corrupt anymore (from the 8K thing xD)

xD Not that I know of, but that might change. I think we were trying to get more people in on it. ;D And, yeah - it's just for fun! I'm not sure which of the other two suggested it, but I was invited in. xD

These cosplay nominations are great!
I bumped into a Mulan avatar earlier this evening, but I lost it, and now I'm a little upset because I can't find her again!
