I don't see that happening anytime soon, but thanks for the thoughts heheh.

Glad to have helped everyone out. GoldenRoya and SKullmaster have their trades waiting for their gold. The Ice WHip finally sold so I just have the Gauntlet left. Then I can do the sharing of the spils here as well.

I will continue to try to work with Horn and Ivory to try to get some more gold for Uma for various contests and other things for the Guild, but I don't think I could handle more than that for now. I haven't even had much time to annoy the people here or in Table Top Games. I'm hoping things settle son though.

Don't worry too much about Horn and Ivory, I can always toss some gold in there if I need to.

Sounds good sounds good.

And I figured I'd keep poking at Horn and Ivory to help do a small part in keeping things rolling here for ya Uma. At least in terms of gold if not in presence at all times, heheh. I won't be hardcore on the marketplace with her, but I'll try to keep things rolling with her when I get a chance.

Of course I still plan to hang out around here when I can. The main reason I even joined Gaia was because the Gates moved here.

Thanks Zedd, accepted the trade. Really appreciate what you've done, increasing my gold ten-fold in such a short space of time!

You're welcome!

I'll have to finish off the trade this evening, as I'm at my job preparing for work now. Just taking a short break before I open the store for the day. I'm alone here. Again. This is getting to be a bad habit I think.

Oh, and the Whip sold, so I can divide up the last of everyone's loot that is invested on this account. Hopefully tonight but can't gaurantee that.

But it looks like it should be a pretty penny in profits again this time around.

I also have Ethan's Gift of the Gods, and will send those when I send his gold.

Now to go open the store. Later all!

*EDIT* Current Gold: 408,000gp

Original Gold (after purchases are deducted by ethan and myself) 338,000gp

Profit: 70,000

That makes a profit of 35,000 to Calypso and 35,000 to Ethan!

Calypso now has 101,000gp
Ethan now has 221,000gp

I should be able to try to send out the gold very soon!

All trades are sent!

Everyone enjoy your gold!

Your all welcome.

I do encourage others to try dabbling in the marketplace too! It's not as hard as a lot of people seem to think, and it's not like you have to put a lot of money on the line to do it. If you look at the start of this thread I started off with about 20,000gp and worked myself up from there over the last few months.

In case someone wants to have a go at the MP, here's a list of search terms I dealt with that I found to do rather well:

oculus
zodiac
scar
whip
gauntlet
omfg
guitar
katana
norisu
gods
goddess
"lunar cloak
"dark halo
guitar
kiki
coco
giftbox
yeti
shadow
parasol

most of these are different donation items. It'll require at least 30,000gp in items to sell to start up, and a good amount of patience and persistance. You shouldn't have to spend more than a half hour a day to get a feel for pricing on a few items to start with. I originally only dealt with four different items and expanded as I learned more to the list above.

Things are slow at first while you build up your funds, so it's good to stick with low cost MC's to start with. You're better off with several cheap ones then one large one as the profit spread on nearly all items is the same.

Sorry I can't go into more detail at the moment, but one arm is tied up holding an angry baby haha. Hopefully this small burst helps someone out.

Long awaited update on the Guild Mule!

Starting Gold: 130,000

Current Gold: 7,000

Items (Listed at cost)

Ice Gauntlets x2 @ 40,000
Whip of Fire @ 60,000
Whip of Ice @ 56,000
Demonbow @ 90,000
Dandiidoodad Spore (1st Gen) @ 7,000

Current Value: 300,000

Don't forget I had to stop for about 2 months because of Christmas Rush, so I think this one is doing pretty good for the Guild here. I'm pleased with the overall results so far. mrgreen

The only regret I have at the moment is the Demonbow, which I bought before the Eros item came out and the price of the Demonbow dropped.

If I have to, I will purchase it from the mule to make up the lost gold. Once I sell a couple things I'll have the gold to buy it at the original cost instead of its current value.
