There are WAAAYYYYYY too many announcements now. Every time I turn around there's some great limited time offer on some item with little to no description that costs GC ... there is no time and not enough details to determine if you're getting a good deal or if 5 minutes later the same item will be announced at a 20-50% discount.

I'm a bargain shopper. I LOVE deals and worry about overpaying. I get just as upset about paying more for something then having the price drop as I do when I don't buy something and the price goes up. But this is just too frenetic. It appears to be based solely on perpetuating the impulse buy. I seriously dislike that.

Welcome to new Gaia. Yeah, they just want you to be impulsive. And maybe you noticed, but they produce "recolors" of items like nobody's business now. So even if they don't release the "exact same" item in two weeks, it's gonna be a recolor.

Two weeks? More like 2 hours! rofl Recolors are their way of releasing all the stuff they promised us would NEVER be available again without breaking that promise and getting sued. There's always a loophole. You just have to find it to jump thru it. Is my cynicism showing again? redface

Ehehehe, I guess your posts wouldn't be the same without your cynicism. razz
But in terms of talking about Gaia, I cannot blame you for being cynical. neutral
