Good way to make money being sneeky.

say you have a bunch of letters, and they are worth say.. idk 60k eack, sell them lower; for like 50k, you are going to loose about 10k you could have had, but its ok, because people are trying to snag them really fast, just keep listing them, I find 5 in a row works well for this, and then for say the sixth, instead of 50k add another zero and sell it for 500k, people aren't paying attention and trying to get the good deals and you just pocketed all that money for this dumb mistake; Im pretty sure this falls under the gaia can't do shit about a miss price rule as well.

Such an old trick, but still so effective! I've never seen it extended to Gaia Online though, and that sounds interesting :p

I fell for this once on Maple Story. I knew he was trying to do it, I just thought I'de be fast enough to identify and pull out once he did.

lol i used to do something similar in neopets but i always got banned
btw i havent play neopets in over 5 years so i dont know if you can still do it

Suprisingly never thought of that. interesting....

Wouldn't the highest priced one just get bumped further up the list?

not if they are watching your store, and not the entire market.

Took the words right out of my mouth.


If they're seeing you put them in on the market, they click to go to your store, they're not in any special order, so your expensive one can be smack in the middle. Click - 50, click - 50, click 500, click - 50.

Win?

Lol. I did this once.

But I try it now and it doesn't work, because some fucking exchanger messages me and says "Nice try noob I saw you reselling" idiots.

agree
nice trick tho <3

I might try it, but I want so feedback from others first.

Just post direct links to your store on the MP and say like

"SELLING OUT MY ________ AT AMAZINGLY CHEAP PRICES! IM QUITTING!"

OMG genius!
LMFAO. So many people have gotten me with this,
and i never knew it was a trick!

I remember using this on the old marketplace! That was pretty good for scams, because people didn't know how much things value : D I also remember buying lots of gift boxes from the shops for like 500gold and then selling them for like 100k ... I want the old days back!

Lol, im still using this trick in a lot of other sites, but not in Gaia. xP

On your store you can say "Im haing a rare item dump for real cheap prices"

Haha this is a good idea, I don't market but i sorta wanna try this. I'll probably fail but it's all good xD

It could lose a lot of money, you just have to get people from the forums. And hope they actually listen to you.
Can you be banned for this? I don't think so :P

Well what if they didnt have 500k?

Then they'd leave.
You'd normally assume that people who are waiting at your shop and getting as many thank you letters as possible would have quite a bit.

True butwhen I go gaia shopping I only buy 1 thing of what i want not 5.

Well, you told them you'd be blasting off good deals, therefore they expect more. They are trying to buy low and sell high, to create a profit for themselves.

Oh I get it. I have finacial problems. Thats why I do't market anything anymore. I keep it.
