i like the hair, but its too similar to elemental hair. If you have elemental hair then you dont need the mystic hair and the other one is too masculine
Usually when Gaia copies itself with the DI/MC, they do the oppisite. Demonic and later Angelic. Like the Damascus and Mythrill.

The only way for 2007 and beyond items to be of any value in the short term as well as the long, would be if Gaia were to raise the price of them from $2.50 to even $3.00. If Gaians truely wanted them, they would pay the extra money.

The item on that first month of the raise would be worth something because less would be bought, people would be outraged!

I had a point and I forgot if I made it already. Too tired. Wii distracted. Etc.

your right ... but the hair kinda cancelles its self out cause its got both angelic and demonic (poison) types so you CANT create a different item

well, i doubt gaia would want to bring up the prices
why would they care about how much each of the items will fetch in the market? also, people would be likely to buy more if the items aren't worth as much (and more $$$ to gaia neutral )
Well if doing so would bring in even more money... They might think about it.

I didn't like any of the March 07 items

therefore, it's a bad idea to invest in those items
although they are pretty bad looking, i still like them better than items like the sun staff sweatdrop

I also think the items keeps on getting uglier and uglier. No wonder the prices dropped so fast. I did like the falcon but not impressed with it. I do hope Gaia ups the donation items and make them good next time around.

picking out donation items is a risky business
it's always hard to tell what will be popular and what will be not since everyone's tastes are different

item pricing depends on usefulness, example falcon and mytic hair: falcon is more "useful" in dressin an avi as it can be use "around" an avi. unlike mytic hair, its only use as um, hair sweatdrop ,plus u cant use 2 mytic hair in an avi,unlike the falcon, so by some time,probably, falcon will have a better price than mythic hair

Aww, I liked the Mythic Hair. sad I do think the MCs will rise in value in the long run, though. :X But it's also true that the items are getting a tad worse over the months. sweatdrop

Ever since I started, I've noticed the decline in the items. OK I'll admit, I like Gwee and the Pixie, but the Mino UFO was when I said "Ok, this sucks" I look back at previous items and try to think "what made them so popular in the first place?" (if ya figure that out let me know)

I agree that more people on Gaia are getting more of the MCs, thus flooding the market with them, and causing less demand than before. Of course, there has to be a demand for the item itself. If people don't like them, then they'll just try to sell the, but since the demand's not there, then they won't sell.

Like other said, maybe in a year or so, there will be a slightly higher demand (and price) for these items that newer people will want.


((I bet I'm ranting by now. I took Economics a year ago, so I'm probably missing my point totally...))

it really depends on what your avi looks like
just wanted to point out that you have the hair on as opposed to the falcon blaugh

That would enrage the people who have angelic halos. They worked VERY hard to get those(Assuming they weren't the ones who were the first donators.) ^^;

Anyway, I miss the old days, back in '04 where you could buy almost anything for under 100k ^^; (I wasn't fortunate to have found Gaia before '04 sad )

People were more generous back then, and I'm sure that most of us who were members back then made a lot of Marketplace decisions we now regret. xd

That's true. If I had quested my a** off for an angelic halo and they released a platinum halo I'd be pretty pissed. If they released another light colored cat plushie I'd be upset.
I wish I had found Gaia 3 years ago gonk There are a lot of items I would have stock-piled. I'm such a pack rat, I'd be a multi-millionaire by now. Sadly, my account is still under 1 year old.
