VERSION:

Welcome to the Revolutionary Item Pricelist. Our main goal with this price guide is to provide accurate information for new and old exchangers. We have carefully looked at what most people want in a price guide, learnt from this and have tried to develop a resource that lives up to all demands. We have developed many new methods and techniques to have our prices as accurate as possible, and we do our very best to make the information we provide about the Gaian items as complete as we are able.
Along with many others, we noticed that the original method of price updating used by other price guides isn't as accurate as most exchangers would want it to be. For those who are not familiar with that process, it works as follows:
The price guide selects some of their members to be price updaters. These updaters will then lurk around the exchange forum and marketplace, keeping track of the prices the items are sold for and then update the prices in the guide where needed. The major drawback about this, however, is that updating takes a lot of time and effort and cannot be done very often. We have therefore developed a system that is far more efficient and precise, so that the prices can be updated every day in a matter of minutes, and operated by a single person.
Aside from the traditional tasks of a price guide (provide a list of prices for items that are not being sold in stores and have prices that aren't always the same) we also provide other information, such as our store item (a.k.a. common) list, a fishing guide, fashion tips, a signature-art guide, an exchanging-walkthrough for new members, and other useful information which users may desire.
Our price guide cannot be as good as we want it to be without your support and feedback. Showing your support can be done in many ways; from posting one of our banners in your signature, to becoming an active member in our guild. The guild itself is basically open to anyone, and joining never means you have to be active. Joining our guild is showing that you support our cause, and we welcome anyone! If you have suggestions or ideas concerning our price guide, then you are very welcome to submit them in our feedback thread. We welcome feedback very much indeed; since it is our duty to provide the information exchangers want to have. If we aren't in constant contact with our users, we'll never be able to satisfy them.
