With me, that is actually a feet. XD Very few rares I own are the first ones I ever bought, if they were released before December 2008. =)

I actually did not start buying art on here until after I finished my quest. Which was kinda funny, cause I was an art whore on gaia.

I'm the same way. The few CIs I have been in my invo several times. I've gone through at least five different Winter Flights.

Shoot I came on here for the main purpose of getting art.
When I first joined I just bought stuff to make outfits to get drawn. Then I pretty much stopped that and just bought art and donated to people.

I came on here for a new place because I was tired of Gaia and all the drama in the exchange on there. It was more drama then profit was worth over buying something off someone. Selling it to their friend. Then buying it back off their friend when they put it up for sale. I mostly did high-end items which is why my buyers and sellers were so limited. >,>;

I could rarely find artists I enjoyed at first. Then got so caught up in my quest and misc donations I just never thought about art unless I was getting it for someone else. =)

Yeah, the drama did push me off Gaia too, but that happened awhile after joining here. Being hacked by a "friend" really puts a person off a site. lol
I never really got into the exchange. I did to some business selling trash and flowers. Did pretty good at that.

There were very few artists on there then but the ones I found I usually liked, and more importantly they were not super overpriced like they were on Gaia.
That's the thing that always helped me. I never really wanted any of the items on here, other then commons and like 6 CIs. I got the rares I wanted slowly over time and worked on the art and donations/charity more.

That has been a big help on here with the prices of art. I have yet to buy art for over 5k for a slot, unless I bid that high on it. =) Yeah, not wanting some stuff does help in the long run. Saves alot of heartache. @[email protected]

Yeah, being hacked sucks. My buddy was recently hacked on there. Took the staff 4 months to sort the shit out.

Yeah, I've seen art go for huge amounts or for big items but just because the person buying the art wanted to do that.

lol, it does help

It sure does. I managed to get all my stuff back without staff help, mainly by yelling at the person a lot. (they claimed it was a joke)
But I didn't feel like staying after that. Set up an art contest and got rid of all my stuff.

I can't imagine waiting 4 months for it to be worked out.

Yeah, the amount of trades those items went through was rediculious. The hacker sold the bear hats, headphones, minis, everything pretty much.

wow, that would be so sad.

I didn't even have anything really nice and it made me sad.

Some people will put so much work into stealing pixels. It is crazy.

They do it so they can sell the items for real cash mostly.

I've never understood that.
I can understand buying the new CIs from the site. It is nice to help the site in that small way and get stuff.
But buying them from someone you know is breaking the rules by the simple fact of selling them? I would be too scared to buy them. Always thinking a ban hammer was about to fall. And then how much they are willing to pay is crazy.

Hey Lilith~
I was wondering if you wanted some free eggus for buying such a huge mass of them from me~
I just remembered I was gonna give away some free ones for everyone who bought some.

That is the thing. Some people get away with it. I know for a fact, on here, that no one gets away with it for long. Everyone gets caught and instantly banned. The staff is highly trained on the offisting thing well on here.

Damn, mozilla is lagging bad for me.

@Peanut- Sure I'd take some more. ^^
I want to see how many pages I can get. lol

If you wouldn't mind though could you send them to Jack of Clubs?
And thank you very much.

@Bartuc- It would still scare me.
And that is why I love this site. They pay attention.

Yeah, it isn't really worth doing in my opinion. Sure, you can make money off some dumbass willing to buy stuff. But really you're just cheating them and yourself. That and you have a chance of getting banned before you even get a transaction. If you are like some people who don't even attempt to not get caught. XD

Exactly.
And really if you are able to hack and get the items then they should just use those skills and get a real job. Use those evil skills for good! lol

-hates gaia-
Don't ever get into the casino threads over there, that's how you go bankrupt xD

...But those were the good ole' days Roachy! :XD
BMC, ftw. <3

Tis how I became so close with you, lol. xD

Aww yeah BMC back in the days, before all the greedy, backstabbing bitches came along, was fantastic!! I still got good friends, like you, and hime & robbie, krats (when she's not snobbing me for her girlfriend) that i talk too. But everyone else can kiss my ass lol.

You still talk to Robbie?! XDD I haven't talked to him in AGES. He would always hit on me, remember? LOL. I saw on FB he had a girl though~

I pretty much talk to only the above, like you, haha. Sometimes I talk to Rei, commenting on his FB stuffs, but that's about it~

Well, sometimes. I haven't in awhile, but we keep poking each other on FB xD. I still think he's alright, even though he's kinda weird. We still had long conversations and stuff, and he was always online when i was active on gaia so we talked heaps. Haha your not the only one he hit on, he hit on ALL the moderators/owners etc of BMC/TLC xD.
Yeah i saw that too, she kinda looks like a dyke though lol. Shh don't tell him i said that xD.

Yep yep. There was that one chick who took over TLC and she was CRAZY. Then she went on to make her own casino. She was super rich, but a psycho.

Aww yeah and reirei. <33

Rofl! Poking on FB definitely counts! :XD And true dat~ He really did, hahaha. xD BMC was so much fun though, I loved watching all the bets and such~ It taught me to never go into an actual casino all bummed out, lol. I lost so much whe nI was bummed, and became more bummed out. Watched the same with others as well. o.e

And I agree. :ninja: Opinion is safe with me! <3

Yeah lol. -Misses BMC now-
I wonder how the casinos are doing, i haven't been on there in ages.

Haha so true, you bet, you lose, you bet more hoping you'll win it back. But NOO! xD

Yeah i don't get how he is with her, when he was going after ALL these pretty girls on BMC. Like he could get any of them lol.

I lurked like, a month ago. I don't even recognize the users... I recognize a few of the thread mods, but other than that... they don't move NEAR like they used to when I was a mod and you were owner~

YES. STORY OF MY GAIA LIFE, LOL. xD!

Maybe he just...realized one day? Rofl! But then again, did you ever see his ex-wife or whatnot? :ninja:

@Roachi- I left there before the casino things came around really. I went back a few days ago just to see it and those just confused me.

I forgot to check back here. xD
And I dunno how much to give you, but okay.
Will do now.
xD

Edit:
I gave 4 sets. o3o
