Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

Last night, with the help of the lovely Myao_Myao heart , I was able to acquire a quick 14000g worth of Gold. That, coupled with the 7000g already in my wallet, I had the most Gold I've ever had on Gaia (lol only been around for 2 weeks). 21000g was quickly spent, and I probably shouldn't have spent it all.

While browsing the Marketplace, I saw several great deals, but they were quickly snatched up probably before the page ever finished refreshing to the point where I could click on them. What a waste of advice, the whole "WATCH MARKETPLACE LIKE HAWK" routine. My computer is a few years old, has low visual memory, so my browser is a tad slow on Gaia all of these ******** images that need to be loaded. By the time I see the deal, it's already gone.

Spirit Falcon: 5000g
Lunar Scythe: 5000g
Western Zodiac: 12000g

******** that. My Gold will come from my own pocket next month, spending $10-15 on Gaia and selling the extra MCs.

However, I feel that I made some pretty good buys last night regardless of my shortcomings. I saw a less-than-average priced Celestial Wrap, and bought it on an impulse. 9000g was quickly sapped out of my wallet. The thing looks really cool, I like some of the poses on it, but it just wasn't for me. After a short deliberation, I sold it for 9500g, making a 500g profit. I saw a decently cheap Lunar Scythe for about 9000g. I picked it up after thinking about it a little bit. It's ugly, I didn't like it at all, and I sold it at 1000g profit.

I was able to secure a couple of items I've wanted for a while. 4x Blackrocque Helm was being sold at 2k under average, but no one was buying it because it was buried under all of the Helms. I contacted the seller who was gracious enough to wait a couple of days until I was able to gain the amount he was asking for. With my extra Gold, I was also able to buy the SWAT Helmet I've wanted since I first saw it over a week ago. I also bought a UFO for shits and giggles, and I thought the Prisoner's Shackles looked cool but they just don't show up on my Avatar. Then some odds and ends finished up the the rest.

I've added a few more panels to my profile that I need to get backgrounds for, and I found another slightly hidden panel when you click on View Friends. I need to work on those, and update some that are already finished, and I'll be done. I'm not going to be around for the weekend, though, so I'll do what I can today before I have to get ready and head out.
