Good trade?

[Fusion]

Okay, so yesterday I went about my way looking for Horns of the Demon. After finding some willing to accept my offer, the finalised deal was:

I gave:
Steel-plated Ninja Band

He gave:
Horns of the Demon
400k

What do you guys think, good trade? I'm thinking that if the price of the Horns goes back up to the price it was at a little while back, I can sell it and buy a Ninja Band for some good profit.

[Polka Dots]

Well I prefer the Horns over the Ninja Band. So I'd have to say that you made a good trade, you can wait a little more to sell the horns and then you'll be able to make profit

[Fusion]

Exactly, I saw that the price of the Horns had dropped 6% to stepped in to look for some, and was lucky enough to find someone not trying to lowball me.

[Fusion]

I'm wearing them, but it's not like i'm not willing to sell them off again. Gaia lost it's enjoyment-factor (although i'm not sure how it ever had any) a long while ago, now I just use it for guilds, etc.

So yeah, now i'm waiting on the Horns to rise so I can cash in. I also have that 400k sitting around which is cool.

I like ninja headband but it is a fine trade

[Fusion]

Well i'd had the headband since around 05/06 and enjoyed it's company, but as I said before, I lost interest in Gaia a long time ago. This was purely an investment, the Horns will be sold once I can gain at least a 400k profit on it, then i'll move on to other ventures.

I would of kept ninja

[Fusion]

The Ninja Headband is unlikely to inflate, whereas I think that the Horns will. Obviously some personal preference will come in to hand, but I like to play the market, and this looks like a steady investment.

Who knows, I could always buy back my Ninja Headband once the margin between the deal and inflation reaches a good amount.

Good trade. There are always buyers for both but I personally like the horns better. More decorative.

Quick check, seeing the progression from yesterday to today:

Yesterday
400K difference

Today
Horns LBP: 3,531,000g
Band LBP: 4,399,999g
Difference: 868,999g

So right now if I sold, technically, there'd be a loss. Looks like a bad move at this stage, but I still have hopes it'll change. As another example, just look at the other small stats that will definitely give me the edge in making a profit:



Horns:
ABP Up 4%
9 Listings

Band:
ABP Up 1%
15 Listings

Clearly this shows that there's more interest in the Horns ..

Profit wise: good deal
My opinion: I would have kept the ninja headband Its kewl looking.

they will rise

They will rise quickly, then will deflate quickly..
It's been a week and i kept noticing that, that's the reason why many members of Gaia are selling it atm..

They're taking advantages of those who doesn't know a thing about the market..

Which is exactly why i'm buying low and going to sell high, then possibly do the same thing ..



EDIT: Another quick market check on my progress.

Okay, slowly looking like a bad move, but i'm more than willing to stick it out ..

[Nat]

Yes good trade. Horns will go up. Totally worth it.

[Fusion]

Good to hear I have most of the LG community on my side, financial-wise. Sounds like i've made a good investment, just got to keep track of it now and see how it plays out. Preferrably i'd like it to surpass the Band and reach around 4.5mil, so i'd then be more than willing to sell.

[Suske]

Headband is going to go higher though.
People are buying it and getting banned so there's fewer on Gaia.
Sooner or later there's going to be only a few left.
