Well, Ethan, I was going to grab my katana, but by damned the sledge is just too cool. Closest thing to a machete on Gaia is the Katana.

And super soakers were awesome. I wish mine hadn't broke down all those years ago.

At least from what I've seen this new event will have them. Huzzah!

And OKIE DOKIE on the being in Skully! money is already still being invested so it'll still add in with what I have for you so far!

I should try to cash out so I can do the dividing up for tomorrow, so I will stop buying stock today and try to sell it all.

Wow, things are really picking up again in the marketplace.

I had all three accounts with a few items yesterday and they all sold save the one on Zedd! I've restocked all three accounts with three more items each and they are currently the lowest in the marketplace after a modest markup.

Guess people are trying to get their stuff before the fee becomes permanent. not that I mind right now heheheh.

people are panic selling.. rofl

I don't mind as long as I can keep making profit off their panic mode mrgreen

Anyways, still buying and selling there. I'm hoping to have all items turned into gold by the end of the day to figure out the plunder. If not, I won't post an update and will try to sell it all off tomorrow.

Thanks Zedd, you are great!

Thanks Uma. I'm doing what I can to help everyone out.

Ran into what appears to be a minor snag. Again >_< I'm hoping the last of the items sell by tomorrow. I have 2 OMFG to sell yet, a couple Lunar Cloaks, and a Fire Whip. I'll have to try to refrain from looking for deals until those ones are sold heheheh. Minor inconvience but it shouldn't take long for those few items to sell out to do the calculations.

Oh yeah, I bought myself a third lightsaber. I figured I'd do it with my own money for a long term investment. heheheh. I got it for 12,000gp so what the hell. I have 130,000 to my name so losing 12,000gp won't hurt.

Oddly enough, I think this blue hair I have looks better than my usual red hair.

I like the blue hair.

Did you read that economic dissertation by that developer they got to try to fix the economy?...the one who is behind the 2% tax?
PostPosted: Sat Aug 25, 2007 11:52 pm


Yeah. I read his reasoning behind it. I've been reading on a lot of threads about this 2% fee and if you weed through enough you find quite a few with valid points on both sides.

I don't know what to make of it yet myself. The beta isn't seeing much testing that I've seen. Any items over 50,000gp aren't present that I've found yet. The largest I found was a couple whips and a gauntlet. To me the fee doesn't seem like a bad thing since a lot of items have been artificially inflated to ridiculous proportions. Not that I didn't try to cash in on it if I had a chance, but that still doesn't make it good.

This uncertainty on my part is one of the reasons why I've slowed down my market whoring for a bit. I'm watching to see how the rest of the marketplace responds to this fee. So far things have been going about as normal, though in the beta I have to watch how I price things so I can actually get a profit.

What exactly is the 2% for? Like, does it go towards making little Gaia Schools? >_> Or making sure the roads have as few potholes as possible? <_< Or making sure our brave men and women in rescue organizations are well compensated, supported, and equipped? >_>

The 2% has one purpose: To remove gold from the Gaian Economy.

They're after your not-so-hard-earned gold, Ethan! They're want to takes your precious!

Tis slow at first, but we're in touchy times and I'm being careful on what I buy with her. I'm keeping with smaller items I know the prices on so it's a steady climb. When H&I gets enough, I can start dealing in both small items and mid range. But she's doing not too bad at the moment.

And I curse the people that decided to drop prices on Lunar Cloaks and OMFG
