Silver Laurel Question?

[BooBearSH]

This is what, the fourth thread about this?...

Anyways, on topic... It'll inflate some, but still. So many people are getting them that they aren't going to... run out.

[Peace]

I don't think the Silver Laurels will inflates alot for a next couple a month
because ton of people bought it and i think they will slowly inflated

[Digital]

i think they look ugly
and if anyone else thinks like me it will take longer for the price to raise

[sighkick]

I dont think theyll inflate to much...its not worth hoarding them

[Gabe]

MCs are useless to hoard. They'll never inflate that much anymore. Everyone buys them.

[Eli]

Buy them when January comes around on a mule.
Ban the mule, thus taking them out of the system.

Make sure you have some on a main.

I'm preparing for a mass inflation.

[ZenGenesis]

Mc's aren't that good to hoard anymore...
They go up too slowly...
EI's would be a better option.

[Gabe]

Even those are kind of stupid. If the EI sells good enough they make new gens of it and then the original gen price is basically subject to the following gens. Besides, many peopel will probably buy the cheapest gen anyway.

monthly collectibles suck now thats why they dont and any real profit

[Scrubs]

Everyone thinks the same, thus do the opposite. Hoard 'em

[solemn_rain17]

hoard them, they may soon have the price of golden laurel., maybe.

[Gabe]

Everyone thinks the same, thus do the opposite. Hoard 'em

We all think the same because the general public of Gaia doesn't. Don't hoard em. People buy more and more every day.

[Divine]

Don't pay $ for them
Buy gold from other players
then just buy a shitload of them from the marketplace,way cheaper

[Scrubs]

We all think the same because the general public of Gaia doesn't. Don't hoard em. People buy more and more every day.

and? if we all had that mindset where would cloud be today?
it's a generally popular item that inflates. not an mc but an example

[Chris]

Here is a little secret, hopefully most of you have realized this;

Do not buy MC's when people can buy them from Gaiaonline, online buy them when the supply is at a settled number.

Let's put it like this;

Gaiaonline releases new MC envelopes on the 1st, 90,700 of them are sold to the public before the 15th.

The 15th hits and the MC's are godly (Basically something they have not been since 2004,) 100,000 more are bought by the 31st. 190,700 total.

Now if people where to buy them from the MP massively (Hoard them,) Between 1st and the 15th that range of number would only increase slightly because there is no real valuing of the item other than people are buying them, thus changing the first 90,700 to about 100,000.

If after the 15th people realize the items are sexy, and buy the hell out of envelopes from MP more people will pay for the envelopes meaning that the number of envelopes total can skyrocket out-come being simply instead of 190,700 total we could have 400,000 or more!

So the idea is no matter how cool an item is, do not buy it until the total amount available is set in stone, thus meaning that the amount out there will only go down.


Going deeper into how to hard properly;

There are a few things to understand,

Higher the demand, higher the price.
Lower the demand, lower the price.

That's the normal economy, unfortunately gaiaonline user's do not understand the complexity that is "I have what you want, so pay me more."

So we thing's like this;

Higher demand in short span of time with abundance, lower price for long period of time.
Lower demand in short span of time with abundance, lower price for long period of time.

Higher demand in short span of time with rarity, supper high price for long time.
Lower demand in short span of time with rarity, stability at high price.

This of course makes zero since, anyone who has ever attempted to hoard items has meet this difficulty.

But there are pro's and con's.

Simply put abusing this can lead to a great gain in the end;

Think of it like this, you buy an item that has 100,000 total in all of gaiaonline (only 60,000 will ever be able to be sold because the others are banned, lost, etc.)

You buy the lowest priced ones in the market, more people see them getting sold and undercut the others prices leading to a large scale drop in prices (You alone can shift 20% off the prices, or more,) more people start to buy low priced items and selling them at slightly higher prices, thus dropping the amount of cheap items.

The point of this is that eventually all the cheap one's will be gone, leaving only the occasional cheap item which is quickly plucked and resold for a heavier price.

That type of inflation will stick for about 4 days after you and others stop buying, in which the cost of the item will drop to about 40% and stay around there.

It is a cycle the idea is to repeat until you can buy the item for dirt cheap and remove the flow of sellers until there is little to no competition for sell. After this point wait about 4 months watching prices and picking those cheap sellers, before you attempt to resell for profit.


P.S Wow, that was long o.o

P.S.S The idea of this post was to explain, any item with an empty supply can be inflated, even if it is shit (I increased the price of those heart necklaces to over 29,000 for over 2 weeks doing this, but I'm sure they have dropped by now.)
