Discussion: Over Priced Donation Items

I am upset that sealed letter prices have risen so much XP You know someday they'll jus tskip all this preliminary stuff and just start selling them at 10-100K immediatley gonk

I usually donate to Gaia every month but this month I couldin't so I decided to go get some sealed letters in the exchange. My jaw dropped when I saw they went up in price! This is ridiculous! It's one thing for donation items to go up in price when they were released but not when they aren't even opened yet stare

I was in the Exchange today selling some little things I didn't need. I noticed that alot of people were selling their OMG and wanting AFK. I took a look curious to see what they wanted. They were asking for an AFK plus 50K for an OMG. The amazing thing about this is that in EVIL, the OMG and AFk have the same starting value at 750K andthe OMG only has a 30K upper value advantage on the AFK. I know the price guides aren't always right, but trying to gouge 20K extra out of someone for an item released the same month seems like the kind of stuff that is ruining the Gaian Commerce.

Discuss.

well I agree very much. I mean they are BOTH like the same and it's just stupid. And god... just overall inflation inflation.... it's stupid rolleyes  

[Celedrin]

It is redicoulus, especially for people who cant donate. gonk Im glad I got my OMG as a gift. xd  

[FrozenFyre]

the reason the OMG is a that much more expensive than the AFK is because there is a higher demand. people are willing to pay more for it, because there are so many n00bs who are like "OMGBLACKI'LLBEGOTH!"
same with the devil tail being so much more than the angelic sash
although, i think it is somewhat rediculous.
if you ask me, i think the donation letters on their own are too expensive. even the current sealed ones D:
i can't save up that much for a stupid letter
i miss when they were 3k x_x

I must agree, this inflation is rather sickening. I don't even know where the crap it COMES from. I mean, there's a shitload of items to buy in the stores, there's just no way there can be THAT much money in circulation.

And I thought the economy here was good, but lo and behold, some greedy ******** had to go and mess it all up -.-

I remember when I could buy the Ninja Headband for a measely 2 to 10k.

...

I just sold mine for a Phoenix Circlet and 89k. eek *rolls in da monies*

that one really seems to have shot up overnight, too. I wanted a Kitsune mask, but now, I'm more or less screwed on that.

It's demand. People want OMG's more, so they get sold at higher prices. Same with sealed letters. Everyone and their mom is collecting donation letters, so the prices go up. It's stupid, but it makes for good profit. X3  

[Princess Nausicaa]

wow! man if i just kept all my donation items...but i only keep what i know i use, so stuff like the kitsune mask is long gone in pursuit of art! 3nodding

I tend to keep it even if I rarely (if ever) use it. I mean, when am I ever going to use a Kiki Kitty?

I (usually) try for the item that more fits my style, but meh.  

[nrasjaa]

yep its unfair, really for donation items you basically need gold to make gold. neutral  

[MUSCARI]

well, that's just how the exchange works, i myself have never done anything of th sort, but there are many who do so... what about the time in which the kikis were 50k and the roros like 8k? don't tell me the kiki wasn't overpriced.

thank god the coco came in and reduced the kikis value(well, unfortunate to those who had their bets in the kikis sweatdrop )... but yeah, that's how everything works, but still if you ask me i prefer that than this overflux of donation items happening at the moment, i mean, what the ell is that!? 10 pages of Pnadys!? now, that's screwed up  

[.Some.Other.Mercy.]

I was debating saving up for an older item-thinger. Donation item. XD. That's the word I was looking for, but to be honest, it's not worth the time and the frustration anymore. Seriously.

I'd barely use them. So now I just stick to store items that appeal to me. Sure, I have a few donation items, but they're just kind of there since I like to look at them. XD. I especially like my mink. XDDD. Shoosh.

I don't care for the current Sealed economy. I remember putting one up for 5k, thinking that that may have been too overpriced and that I may have to reduce it, and it sold in a flash.

So I checked the MP to see what other were selling for, and the lowest at the time was 6,750g. I was shocked. I always try to sell things cheaper in the MP, isn't that its purpose?

Plus, I totally agree about selling store items at a higher price for profit. It's ridiculous. I always make sure I sell my store items for less in the MP. Normally I range from 200-700g less. XD. And like, they're on 5k or less items. XD. Nothing too pricey, otherwise I'd take off more.

And the tokens issue is silly. I do check the MP for token though, and if someone is selling them for 1g a piece or less, I buy them, because at that point they're not trying to make a profit, they just want the tokens off their hands. <333

Something is only worth as much as someone is willing to pay for it.

Thus, if some dumbass wants to be ******** over by some other dumbass *shrugs* nothing can be done.
