I wonder if they think someones actually going to buy it.
There were at least 12+ confirmed sales.
Probably closer to 20.
The thing is, the Angelic Halo is by no means a flashy item. The thing that made it valuable is that it is the first monthly collectible on Gaia and that few people had it.
It doesn't have that kind of sentimental value anymore now that it's up for grabs for anyone wanting to buy it. Therefore I personally wouldn't spend a dime on it let alone like $1000 dollars.
The people that bought it are probably rich white kids that have nothing better to spend their money on
Gaia is just desperate for money

Wow is it really that expensive? I had one of these on my old account before I got banned ):
Pretty normal pricing if the Halo was being sold off site as well. They almost always sell for around $1k, sometimes more.Quote:

Pretty much this. Not to happy about Gaia selling it. Whatever though. I can always go on a Gold Medal / Easter Egg quest instead. :'DQuote:

It rarely fit any avatar designs and colour schemes I used to make with it.
Oh how I miss item exploits. :|
Maybe if gaia released a new fucking feature once in a millennium I might find another.
Yeah the value of the A Halo was never really in the appearance. It was the sentimental value. Which it has way less of these days.
There has been plenty of item exploits in your (I assume) absence. Also more exploits in general. Just way less than there was back in Gaia's glory days.
My absence has mainly been in LG and not Gaia.Quote:

A mod found out and bam, pretty much within a few weeks of doing that I was banned. :|
Shame, I was having fun running a charity with unlimited funding.
Although I'm not saying those were the only exploits.
I'm sure there are much more experienced members in LG whom are better than me at sniffing these out who have found quite a lot of them.
And yeah, the reason why there are way less now is because there are less features being thrown out as a whole.
The two newest features which were decent that I can remember were:
Tiles
Alchemy
and I managed to exploit them both.
Gaia isn't wiser with security, it's just that there are less features to exploit the security with.
Plus it seems like the test servers are secure now so I doubt I'll be getting into them again.
Yep, the angelic halo was a fugly item and always will be.
Now even the sentimental value has gone to shit, GG Gaia.
Although I have to say I do like the look of those wings in club verge - in the end they're just recolours and expensive bloody ones at that.
I think they want to try to bring some older times back into the game but they dont want to get tooo many of them + they want money
Welll yeah, but obviously Gaia is desperate for money.Quote:

Jesus christ. They must realize that's worth a very expensive laptop, Mac cough cough.
Real? 1000 dollars?
... I don't even
fuckin repeat items. and they charge like hell
I can see why they'd charge allot since the angelic halo is a rarity, although i'm sure it will stay a rarity.
That's too funny... i'm just getting back into Gaia... this makes me want to avoid playing now xD
Damn! Seriously? A Halo for $1k? Holy shit, makes me want to leave the site and go back to Runescape...
yeah items are freeking expencive man , D:
Rich azn* kids.Quote:

Gaia is smart and dumb at the same time. Greed blinds logic just as love does.
I almost feel like there is a lot of idiots out there who wish they could afford this..
Yet the world somehow hasn't caught itself on fire yet.
I saw someone in rally today who actually did buy it, his user was PkRs
First of all I do not agree with what they did , because its so unfair to members that got them when they came out / bought them off the market when they where for sale . but yes its freeking bs they would do that ( i herd there doing more items like that :
Dumb people would buy it -_-
