HELLO HELLO!

So you're here to read my "extended knowledge" of working with
Gaia Cash. I don't use Gaia Cash a lot. Goodness, sometimes I wish I did!
However, when I DO use Gaia Cash I try to make it work for my benefit trying to get the most out of my money.

SO I decided to write what I think would be some wise invesetments in where to put your money towards.

Well first thing:
Working with Luck Keys.

there 99 Gaia Cash
People love to buy these keys and sell them for a quick sell.
The problem with luck keys is that the prices tends to fluctuate a lot.
I've seen the key go has high as 50k to as low as 26k all in a day stare I kid you not.

Luck Keys normally average out to around 50-60kish.


It looks good because its a cheap 99GC
Buying 3 will be 297GC and if its pricing around 50k you're talking about 150k in your pocket.

However, a better, for me if you wish to have a quick sell is the
Aquarium Mini Monsters Strikes.


These delightful items cost merely 299 Gaia Cash and you can resell them on the market guaranteeing at least 200k for one item. smile
The lowest I ever seen the mini monsters price drop too was at 70-80k and that's because one of the packs was in the aquarium luck chest.
The highest?
400k blaugh

You have the Aquarium Luck Chest appear randomly too you, make sure you click it too see what there offering has prizes to win. Gaia once before had put an Mini monster pack inside there, meaning drop in prices!


I typically don't deal with any other aquarium items besides for Mini Monsters.

I 've been terribly burn when purchasing the aquarium backgrounds. gonk I just rather purchase them with gold. However if you are thinking about buying a fish for resell purpose--
I know which is the best to invest in 4laugh .


Aquarium Momo the Monkey and the Aquarium Gwee Horse.

Both costing 499 GC they can value up in the market place, high has 300k+
The Momo averaging--500-600k
The Gwee Horse--400-500k

Anything under that meaning their going for cheap smile

Next will be the Watermeat which is 749 GC and can be sold on the market for at least 220k.
They Average out 300-350k

Aquarium Zoey
749GC
On the MP for as low as 600k

Keep in mind that the Mini-monsters tend to fluctuate alot but are the most beneficial. You can try your luck and open them in hopes to get high trigger fishes inside.
The fishes in Gaia Shops tend to take a lot longer to sell so be patient with those especially if you don't see them selling right away.



NOW
How about Bundles?
Here's the thing about bundles....I don't buy bundles, when I have GC for quick sell, it's only for long time investment only. Bundles typically cost 999GC.

You can tell the popularity of bundles during the time its out too see how steadily it can rise in the market after it leaves the Cash shop. If you can buy bundle and hold it for at LEAST 4-7 months you're talking about at LEAST 500k pure in your bank account.


The only time you sell Bundles for quick sell IF you buy the them when they just come in to the cash shop. I've seen newly bundles on the market as high as 1 million!

That's because when you buy GC online it takes about a week for paypal to go through and for you to resell items--which is why the second week of a bundle being out, the prices tends to drop and can go as low at 300k.

Don't let that discourage you because it will rise. ESPECIALLY when it leaves the Cash Shop. The more popular the bundle the higher the average be when their out.

Neon Core Bundle

This new RIG looks pretty alright.
It's wonderful because its reeking with
gold wink

This Bundle/rig is keeping out decent average WHILE its in the cash shop. Not to mention a lot of desirable items possess this RIG box meaning it will be good to hoard...right now...for the future....right...now O_O'

Averaging out 790k while still in the GC shops.
5-7months I can defiantly see this item being and easy 1million pure

But enough said...

EI's are ALSO one of the most PERFECT CHEAPEST investment you can do.
I bet people who invested in Gogh Reed when it first came out now is laughing at all of us who is struggling to even get 1million+ to buy just one emo Not that I'm bitter or anything...

EI's typically cost 749 and depending on the item you can tell the rise of it.

Know your audience.

Gaia is full of anime lovers a handful of them anime lovers are people who loves Naruto and who is willing to pay in the MILLIONS for ninja items. Meaning the Shadowlegend will be a great investment for future.

Cosplay items are also a smart move when thinking about buying EI's for investments. Gaia in general host anime lovers who actually go to conventions --so they'll be willing to dress up their avatars to their favorite anime/manga love!

Pretty important to know the makers of the items has well. They also have a HUGE role in how they will do on the MP!!

Let's use example Ethe
"KAYASHA, whose that?!"

Creator of Gogh Reed

Because of that, when the of Seidh, from the same creator first came out--expectations was already high for the item keeping a value of 950-1.2 million in it's First Gen. Alone.

Now after all is said an done it's averaging around 900k-1million. That's not bad seeing how it doesn't even have a year of being out.

You absolutely do NOT want to buy Monthly Collectibles Gaia Cash.
For 250GC the highest you will find a seal envelop will be 150k
It's best to just use your gold to buy the MC.

Unless you're treating yourself and you wish not to use gold than by all means buy it!

But for SELL purposes...No.

Sealed Envelop has started to rise in value....But unless you're hoarding them for resell purpose. This will not be a good financial decision to make. Unless you plan on investing down the line..a long time down the line.

SO that's all I got for now you can add anything extra if you want...ask question if you please.

I've seen people who discourage the use for GC but I feel if being on Gaia gives you a purpose and if it makes you happy by helping relives you of stress--I see nothing wrong in treating yourself once in a while on something that will later benefit you. smile

I will update/edit this ALL THE TIME because MP is always changing and I am typically always watching whee


I hope you likey what I wrote and I help you somehow...

I agree with all this. Just want to add a few things-
Never buy the freaking clothes on GCS, just don't. If you want clothes like that in the GCS then go to the shops and try to find some close enough or go to the marketplace. It's not worth using your money over.

Also DO NOT try to do an RIG by yourself! For a first timer TRY to ask someone you see with items that you want from that RIG and asking them for suggestions! OR better yet use the RIG as funds in order to get the items you want! If you go in WITHOUT ANY knowledge you WILL get low priced items! RIG can be fun (depending on the RIG), but they WILL NOT be kind!

So my advice- if you're going to play, play smart!

Well for one don't push the "next" button just because you can *has done that*
don't just push random button without knowing what they do *has done that*
Know when you exit and claim prize *always trys to see the whole thing threw... not good idea*

and so on. Yea there's no "perfect" way to play, but playing with your mind is better then playing without knowledge... like me xD

From my current knowledge and observation
RIGS are just pure luck. When you use it a lot you get a better sense of when to "pull out" but most of it is just "Hopeful RIG"
