So I sold one of those bundled Animal Quackers things in the market place for 55K gold, not looking to see what others were selling them for first. I thought it was a fair price because most of the prizes aren't that great...not that I'm terribly lucky with them to begin with. I probably would have sold it for a little more but I only got one equipable item I liked. It's only worth 7K, ironically. So I figured I'd be nice an only price it in the 50's even though I'd normally try to run it up to 100K. Anyway it was snapped up in an instant because it turns out it was selling for 500K and up! Not worth it in my opinion, but we all know how the market place can be.
Anyway, the buyer PM's me because she is convinced I mispriced it. I PM her back explaining why I priced it so low and that I wanted to sell for a fair price and not jack it up. She, in the meantime, sets up a trade for me and gives me 400K (which I accepted, I'm not dumb). Then she replies to my PM, still gives me the extra 400K, and says I'm a legend for wanting to price something fairly in the market place. I'm thinking the girl who gave me an extra 400K is more of a legend than I am, although the whole exchange was a bit legendary in terms of the market place.
All I wanted for it was 55K, I would have been very happy with that. Now I'm 455K richer. Go figure. I'm not sure who made out better, her or me. Either way, I'm very happily on my way to my next Gaia million.
Did you know it's actually kind of easy to make a million gold in a week if you play the market place right? I did it, just to buy an art guild, and now I'm going to do it to up the ante in my OC art contest.
