I had a crap load of G shades, so I decided to sell them in the marketplace. I usually price whatever I sell there about 5-10g less than what the current lowest buy price is. Sometimes I'll price it the same as the LBP. As soon I put them out there, people were buying them. I looked at the user's who bought them because I thought for sure someone was stalking my store or something. I had a couple of repeats, but mostly they were different users. This is the pricing I had:

G Shades Blue- Buy Out at 90g
G Shades Pink- Buy Out at 70g
G Shades Yellow- Buy Out at 70-80g
G Buckle- Buy Out at 1,000g

Of course by now, I'm sure the prices are changing again.

Why are people buying these items? I mean, can't they just get it themselves...unless the thing is over already... ninja

Isn't it over? Unless I missed something... Anyway I usually sell it for 5-10g more than the LBP so someone who wasn't lucky enough to catch the LBP would just settle for me, and I'd make a nice little profit. I made about 5k selling everything but the G Buckle I have on.

I didn't think they would sell either. The event is over but, the items are ugly and not that great. I figured they would be sitting in my shop for a good while.

Eh, I figured if you sell it for anything you make a profit since they were given out and didn't cost anyone anything to get them. Selling for less is my small attempt in trying to lower the marketplace value's....or at least give someone a break.

Ah, so that's who's buying them up.

@ Red: I tried that, but got sick of looking at it. I still have my ghost sheets thinking they would be scarce after halloween, but they messed that plan up for me stare

xd I usually catch something at a lower price than usual, so I continue the trend and help someone else out. Maybe it never came to mind because you haven't caught a low price in a while.
