Welcome to Gaia! ::


Thank you every one who came and stopped by. It was fun. I will have to do this again some time.

To those that have not yet sent trade to me and were picked for the deal, I am giving you guys a week after tonight to close the deal.

That is all, good night and I will most probably pick a few more people here to send to that were not lucky enough to have been chosen by the dice or numbers. More as a thank you for hanging and stopping by than anything else.

Saraba... Till the next sale.

Unless you guys want to visit me here...

Never Buy A Sealed Letter for More than 5K: A Little Sale
NEVER RE-SELL WHAT I SELL TO YOU
twisted Not Obligated to Speak to those that do not follow rules twisted

Results
The Results can be found I believe in Post 3 or was it 4? I do believe it is in Post 4, if your name is there, please send trade.



A little sale brought to you by your friendly neighborhood X Person... a.k.a. the Lurk Warrior (self proclaimed of course)

Well my fellow gaians, I doubt that this would change a thing, however after looking at the market place and now on the exchange which I rarely do, this is actually quite an upsetting development.

So let me first start off with a small sale.

2 - Sealed Letters - 3K each
1 - March 05 - Goes to the person that sells me the most sealeds for it - Proceeds will go to selling more of those sealed letters for 3K.
1 - October 04 - Goes to the person that sells me the most sealeds for it - Proceeds will go to selling more of those sealed letters for 3K.

1 - October 05 - For Fun I will place something here someone has to figure out, I am selling this for 1K. OVER

I may just add quite a bit more here.

Rules and Guide-lines:
1 - Never Send Trade or PM me without permission
2 - Prices are set in stone
3 - I only accept gold for the sealeds and a combination of sealeds and gold for the other letters, and if you do get the trade from me, I will wait a week for you to raise that amount. This is so that the newlings who want to buy can actually buy this even without the gold now. I will hold it for them.
4 - I only sell one letter per person
5 - If I sell to you, DO NOT RE-SELL. Doing so will place you on my black-list, and I will take your User ID number and that is what I will keep on file. I will never sell to you again and I do have friends that will not deal with you afterwards.
6 - No whining/begging/crying
7 - Try to keep discussion here civil and on a higher literacy level. So please do not use puerile sounding netspeak.
8 - My choices of who to sell to are my own and I do follow my rules, so follow them as I do.
9 - If you have nothing nice to say, leave. Try to be polite.
10 -READ MY RULES!
---------------------------------------
Little Rant:

Just a few months from sealeds going from 4K to 4.5K in to now close to 6K, I tend not to care as much as other anti-inflationists out there, because I do my sales out of whim. This is still technically by whim for me, however sealed letters should not go above 5K.

Granted there is enough gold in circulation to make millionaires out of many gaians price fixing of the base product (Sealed Letter) to become completely out of reach of those who are newer and do not have as much time here is not only greedy but counter-productive due to it propagating bad blood and rudeness.

My true raison d'etre in Gaia is to upraise the conversation and level of net literacy. To bring about a modicum of etiquette and politeness. Why else are my sales so evil in asking for answers, figuring out riddles or demanding a sense of camaraderie within the thread. Anti-Inflation and charity creates some structure and a counter-balance to the marginalizing effect inflation can have, as well as the brusqueness of harsh price-gouging.

I am nowhere as rich as many here, I am just happy with what I have. I do not have anything to really work for, hence I can do things like this. I enjoy playing on the side-lines though now and then these things that I do, I do for fun.

Gaia is supposed to be fun, sometimes though people go too far.

---------------------------------------
How to Buy:

For any letter other than the Sealeds, just make an offer. If I like it, I will ask you to send trade. I only accept Sealed Letters with a little gold in there. I want to sell more Sealeds here after all. The Sealed letters received from these sales will be used in this thread to sell more for 3K.

For the Sealeds:
Sealeds can be bought after a process of random numbers. I will list individuals from here in to an excel sheet and will assign numbers to them, and I will use the random number generator or dice to pick who gets the trade. However, to be considered you have to at least qualify in one or more of the following categories:

1 - Must have anti-inflation or charity credentials. Tell me which group you are working for and where you are known. (If so, I will knock the price to 2.5K for you, if you get the trade)
2 - Must suggest an idea for my next sale.
3 - Must have interacted here quite a bit and was good company.

My decisions are usually made at around 12:00 AM my time. That is midnight on the Eastern Coast of the US. I might be late on doing the decision, but I do intend to read every single page to make sure I do not miss any one.

I may sell three tonight and three tomorrow. If I get to sell the other letters, I will sell again the next day.
---------------------------------------

Once more, have fun. If any one were to try to look for where I am, I am usually found in the Swap N Shop.

Its rather stupid that people sell sealeds for so high now. Since the new gift credit system came out its rather obvious. 1.00$ USD = 2,000 gift credits. We pay 2.50$ for a sealed lettter, in gift credits that would equal 5k. Even though gift credits cannot be used on donation items. It pretty much shows a guide for sealed letters.

SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION:
http://www.gaiaonline.com/store/gaiamerchandise/gaia_store.php?mode=category&cat=30
Given that:
$1 = 2000 Gold
Doing a ration we can assume that
$2.50 = 5000

Rainbow Noob

are you ready? If so may I have 5 of your sealeds? Send trade if yes and sorry if you are not ready.
c_ute_but_e_vil - No it was not ready yet. I was going to post a rant, as well as other things.

OFFERS:
Oct 04
MankindMickFoley - 4 Sealeds and 2k for the Oct 04
King_Gir - 5 sealeds and 2k for the october letter?
R3d_Pho3niX - hmmm i'd offer 2 sealed plus 4k like for the october 04 letter.


RESULTS:
xyzse Day 1 - First 3
The night is done,
I am selling three tonight and another three tomorrow as mentioned.

Tonight I guess is the last night. I might send a few more out... My decision would be based on those left who hung around here a lot and did not get one.

That is all...


BLACK-LIST:

None Yet

THOSE THAT DO NOT UNDERSTAND MY REASONING:
xyzse
Dr. Unoriginal
Reason this thread doesn't accomplish anything:

1. People WILL resell the letter at the "inflated" value
2. Selling a few letters you bought at an inflated price to a select few people and not a first come first serve basis will never make an impact on the economy, ever.

If you feel bad for newer people, why don't you open up a charity and directly donate to them?

Dr. Unoriginal - Reasons this thread accomplishes something.

1 - True anti-inflation is not my goal. My goal is to upraise conversation more than that.
2 - Those that re-sell the letters that I do sell to them are placed under my black-list.
3 - I have enough contacts that I can usually tell who a person's mule are if they are placed under my true black-list.
4 - The purpose of this thread is by my whim and to have fun.

I am having fun... ergo I am accomplishing something twisted
RANDOM DONATING:
xyzse
Holy Hell Nutella...
That just scores some cool points for me...

You get 500 G... Just for fun

Congrats to reaching page 100... I wonder if I should give something...

It goes to Thrudd... Let me see what can I give... ~rubs chin~ 1K is good!!!

Mebbe...


THE PUZZLES:
The 1K October 2005
Figure this out
Well this will be similar to my other things.

First a freebie, place in i37 to replace the world wide web.

A child was carrying pictures on a water container
It needed to be placed on a book called e88.
What was under the igorot loin-cloth made him sputter
For Mars, to get the goddess of love he used it as bait. ((Oh no so dirty... Ick Ick))
The musketeer who loves intrigue just watched in amusement
As the writer of the Inferno stared in abject horror
Their eyes were wide as Hera's beloved animal's plumes went.
The cup-bearer in shock let the liquid carelessly pour.
It spilled and made the yamamoto sun goddess mad
She took out her anger towards Oedipus' daughter
Who asked for help from the long-nosed lover, panache clad
A verse war ensued with Japan's master renka maker.
Where finally the sword saint appears to preserve their honor
Using his rival's long blade who is his current sponsor.

twisted I know it is very bad... But, I am trying to see if someone can find what I am asking for. Oh, by the way, in the end, use the most used extension... 3nodding

Okay, the beginning is hard to get because it's a little figurative. Photos on a water container means PHOTOBUCKET.COM. The i37 replaces the world wide web:

http://i37.photobucket.com/

The next line shows the album, e88.

http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e88/

The igorot loin cloth has to be research, what is under it is of no importance. An igorot loin cloth is also known as a bahag.

http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e88/bahag/

This line is pretty easy. The goddess of love referenced is known as Aphrodite, which in Roman mythology, is Venus.

http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e88/bahag/venus/

The musketeer in the "Three Musketeers" who loves intrigue is the musketeer Aramis. ((I had trouble here. Kept thinking it was Athos or Dumas))

http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e88/bahag/venus/aramis/

The writer of the Inferno is Dante.

Hera's beloved animal is the peacock.

The cup-bearer in Greek mythology is Ganymede.

The Japanese sun goddess in Japanese mythology is Amaterasu.

http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e88/bahag/venus/aramis/

Oedipus' daughter is Antigone.

http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e88/bahag/venus/aramis/

The long-nosed, panache clad lover is Cyrano.

http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e88/bahag/venus/aramis/

Japan's master renka (haiku) master is Matsuo Basho. (Basho)

The sword saint of Japan is Miyamoto Musashi.

Oedipus? Is this a Freudian Poem? xd
Kinda sorta, I mean, it talks about what some girl wanted while very very very heavily referencing phallic symbols... I find it funny.

I mean...

What is under a loin cloth?
What does the goddess of love like from Mars that she did not have from Vulcan?
The extra long nose of the panache-filled poet?
The references to swords?

Oh no... It is just so wrong.
It just ain't right...

Man, I read all that. And I have to say that I agree with you, and I think your method is better than Lexi's, or others of that ilk. Her shop is more of a charity, rather than a real stand against inflation. It's still a noble and good thing to do, but it does nothing against inflation. I, alas, and one of the greedy ones and I am trying to make money, so I can't buy from you, but I commend you on what you are doing.
I like Lexi and that is her method. My methodology is made to create the maximum amount of fun for me. I mean, just earlier people were going insane about what is underneath an "Igorot Loin-Cloth" rofl . I am sooo amused. Now if only I can create a new puzzle, I can risk another item. twisted

These are all usually by whim and made for ME... My Enjoyment...

may i buy one sealed envelope please?

(EDIT) i run the Spirit of the Forest Charity, and i'm also giving away 2 sealed letters this month in the Cafe Blue (the charity's sister thread)

As for your next sale, I think you should try selling discounted donation items. I'm constantly seeing people struggle questing for kiki's and other things, while the price is just rising. It make it hard for the donators also. I use to give out a few kiki's occasionally, but the price just keeps going up, and even I can't afford them much anymore. heart

PS. all apologies for the edit. Gaia seems to be spazzing out on me lately and telling me "page cannot be found" when i post. Then I, of course, hit the back button, and only half my text is there. Or Gaia just plain out eats my posts. xp
i'll take one if theres still any
