The title pretty much explains it all, but just for elaboration's sake...
This topic is for the discussion of the marketplace and general economy of Gaia. (Let's use a cliche, oh let's!) Put your two cents in. wink lol neutral rolleyes stare mrgreen

bobangelo ugh, everything just keeps getting more expensive... crying Yeah. Prices keep going up in the Marketplace, but you can get some discounted stuff in the Exchange. It just takes more work. Okay, I've got... a penny and some lint. Not quite two cents, but there ya go. xp

Woo hoo, I win! But if all you have is belly button lint and toe jam, what exactly do I win? Heh, just joking.
The prices fluxuate so much! All it takes is a different time of day and the prices will go up or down. It makes is kinda hard to sell fish because someone always wants to beat your price or inflate it to the point where no one will buy. <-_->

That's precisely the problem. What makes me batty-on the fishing items-is when everyone price cuts you to the point where you'd be making more gold just selling the fish at the fishing hole... I could go into the long-winded version of this and prove it causes inflation, but I don't think it's necessary and I'm a lazy b*****d.

Yeah, I partly want to rant about inflation, but it makes my mind run in circles. I'd much rather waste that brainpower on something a little less... er, needing of brainpower. Um, anyway! I think that if you sell in bulk then there is less of a chance that it will not sell because of price. I do that with the medium fish that I sell and they go faster then when I sell them individually even though they are priced at the same rate. (I think that makes sense)
Also, there is a little trick I picked up... but it's pretty much baiting people into buying your stuff so I'm not proud of it. confused

The two theories to that are:
As longs as the ends justify the means
and
As long as the means justify the ends
Which are we playing with?

I'm so poor, for some reason I have been making gold ultra slowly for the past couple of months, and it's driving me bonkers. If you look at the marketplace list in my quest guild, you'd see that I've got a ridiculous amount of gold I need to get, but oh no, Gaia has to be mean to me now.

As for that trick, I guess it would be a case of the ends justifying the means(my brain is kinda fuzzy, though, so don't quote me on that). Basicly, it takes advantage of the fact that people would rather buy immediately then sit through an auction. So long as you don't abuse it, I guess it's okay.
