Not that drunk. XD I remember that sale too. Yikes.
On one hand, I think it's a good thing for the person donating that prices have risen a bit. The person willing or able to spend money gets a bit more bang for their buck and the users who can't/won't still get their item, they just have to post more or game a little more. I think (under normal circumstances, anyway) it encourages people to donate for an extra set for immediate resell, because they know they'll get a pretty good amount of a really nice shop item, or a good bargaining chip in an Exchange trade, or bribe for an artist, or whatever they spend their gold on.
But even considering multi-equip effectively making a CI into 3+ items each, the jump past 1k for a CI set when it wasn't that long ago that they were going for around 700 gold a set was a bit shocking. And I don't know that it's healthy for our site economy for them to be more than 1k for awhile. x_x; Especially since not everyone can earn enough gold every month simply to afford the new CIs.

Personally. I think the market on gaia will be taking a plunge for awhile. With the prices dropping hoarders are releasing their hoards fast. Causing prices to drop tremediously.

Well - that's good for me, at least! I don't earn gold very quickly there, as I can't be bothered to spend the time earning gold. I spend less than 30 minutes a day there, and quite often only drop by for Daily Chance.
Maybe it'll be good for Gaia overall for their prices in general to deflate. Maybe that'll encourage them to stop selling commons for pocket-gouging prices. u_u;

Ohhh! I saw a preview for that a few nights ago. It sounds like a good show. I may have to check it out on itunes later :ninja:

Yeah - I enjoyed it. :) The UK version ran for two seasons and had a spin-off/sequel where someone gets sent back to the 80s. And, seeing as I'm a
much bigger fan of the 80s than the 70s, I want to get into that one too. (But, me being OCD about following a story in order, I have to watch LoM first, as apparently they're connected.)

Yeah with the current economic disfunction occuring. There will probably be a drop in donations this month from everyone. I was just suprised how high the prices were getting for an item most users deem 'not really bad ass, but a collectable non the less.' I would hate to see what would happen with an item as popular as the anklets

Yeah. I mean,
some of this upset happened also because of them being released between paychecks or something. A lot of mentions I saw from people were people saying, "Can't wait until I get my next paycheck..." And for many people, that seems to be sometime next week.
But the paycheck thing isn't the only reason. I'll be interested to hear how our sales compared to our usual. And if there was some sort of graph that showed when in the month people donated (compared to an 'average' month and either of the Dove/Raven months) that'd be even better.
I think next month will do well, in spite of the economy. But that depends on the economy at least staying the same, if not getting better already. x_x;
I'm rather glad that it wasn't another Dove/Raven type item, too. I wouldn't have been surprised to see a (purely hypothetical, as these are going to be cash shop items and not CIs) Dove/Raven backwings set be gouged for 1.5k - 2k the first week if the sellers were as few as they were at the beginning of this month.
