Gaia in a Newbie's Eyes
I'm a new Gaian slowly getting to know this huge community. This journal is about my Gaian journey: how a newbie sees the community, the economy and items, the avatars, and of course the people.
My first try at buying and selling
If you've got a quick finger and some good luck, you can spot some pretty nice deals at the Marketplace, or Vend, as it seems to be called. For example, I've bought a black leather belt for 1100, Felicia's gloves for 450, and a bunch of labu necklaces 80 each. I could've gotten more of them but someone was also buying off the necklaces, and my competitor was pretty damn quick. twisted

I made some nice gold by selling off the belt and necklaces for higher than what I paid for them... but of course still for the lowest in the market. Especially the belt was a good deal. It seems people are selling store items for way higher than what they cost in the shops (idiots - no one will buy their overpriced stuff!!) so if I price my store items a bit lower than the price at the store, someone always buys them. Compared to that ridiculously overpriced stuff, my reasonably priced items seem very cheap.

I could've sold off the Felicia's gloves too, but they're a part of my dream avatar, so I kept them.

Note to self:
[x] The sellers who overprice their stuff are good for my business.
