I like the sword, obviously, it is about time they came up with one. I am disappointed once again by the marketwhoring going on, everyone trying to undercut the next guy. I think the sword should go for much more than 7k, anyway, the parasol makes a good nemisis to the nightmare parasol, although they don't look nearly as good together as say the two guitars that give a yin and yang appearance.

And for pete's sake, don't try to use that thing for feminine hygene eek Try to explain that in the emergency room, "Really, I had no idea it would open in there!" rofl

And yeah, looks like it has gone to 7.5 to 7.8...they were going for 8+ til everyone started undercutting stressed

Ylenia: That's a good question. They are at least thinking about it with this item.

Anyone remember when they said "no way would a weapon be a donation item"?

-snort-

Anyhow, I've got two letters I bought last month with gaia gold. Thinkin of getting another set, if I can make gold faster than the price rises.

I must admit I was a little disappointed with these in comparison with past donation items. It almost seems as if they've changed artists since the old days. Things have gotten badly pixed and lines on both the parasols (when opened umbrella style) are a bit "off".

Giant Tampon rofl rofl rofl I saw that and was like wtf??? who would want that monstrosity??? The sword wasn't all that appealing at first either until I tried the poses...The Stone Gaze settings with their Medusa-like faces are quite nice...I don't really like the back settings at all though...so...the parasol gets a 1/10 from me and the sword gets a 6/10....

Yeah, not a huge fan of the items, but then again, I rarely seem to care rofl

If you do have them and don't mind waiting, I would recommend selling it today and buying it later on. They reach a really high value on day 1 and 2, and after that, their value falls.

Actually, I'm going to do a separate post on this. I shoulda included it in my guide stressed

So you think they will drop more, they moved up to 7.9k to 8.5 on the first 2 pages, you don't think they will go up more as the supply goes down, right now every 12 year old on Gaia that has a parent buying donation items for them is throwing them at the market for madly low prices (doesn't mean anything to them cause it's not their money) and as I found out, my own 14yo thinks if you have 25k you are rich. I look more in the 100k to 1mil mark as rich. Damn, there I go rambling again, anyway, I am hoping that the sword moves up to about 10k before leveling off.

That is the initial rush where everyone has to have one 3nodding Due to the late release of the item (9 pm), the real rush continued on, but it looks to have stopped, and that's when the prices will drop. Even Cocos went for 15 to 16 on day 1, and yet fell to 8K. The demand for a new item lasts about a day. We all have short attention spans rofl And the letters are now under 7K, with the sword falling to 7.2 and that's just the first day after the rush.

I guess rich is relative rofl I mean I heard that the last halo sold on Gaia went for 256 million...which made me feel a bit tiny rofl

Yea, I managed to get my two sold for almost 9k by posting them and leaving them overnight. Funny the letters were not selling as high as the swords so I had to open them and sell the swords. I am thinking now I should have sold the third one that I get to sell. Oh well, I'll wait to see what happens. It gave my kids quest and my own quest a boost though.

That's cool xd Funny that you mention the letters and items. A lot of people buy the cheap letter, open, and sell the more expensive item. It's an easy way to make a lot of gold in one day during the donation rush xd

It's kinda weird, but a lot of people don't realize the item comes from the letter or something sweatdrop They want a sword, so they buy the sword for 8K even though the letter costs 7. They don't connect.

Today I made a ton selling baby seal slippers for 87K. People could buy the March 2004 letter for 82 to 85K but they just don't realize it. All I do is buy the letter, open, sell.

Bizarre rofl

And swords are down to 6.5K and falling right now one day after the rush. I'd expect them to fall into the 5 range, maybe even high 4s.

Not me rofl

I wonder if it'll stick. The pandy pack hit 8K yesterday, and I sold one for 7, but then it fell to 4. Then they inflated it again this morning, it was actually at 10 early on but like you pointed out, fell to 5.5.

The hard shell pack was at 3K even this morning. Someone just did the inflation on it within the past few hours gonk

Edit: Swords have fallen to 6.5K today, and you can get the letter for 6K if you're quick.
