Im not sure but, i think that released at around christmas?
#3
I wonder how you get those. I did the holiday event in its entirety, but I didn't get one.
And according to the graphs, someone is hoarding the shit out of them (lolfail). They're worth under 200g, but they've all been bought up to 400,000g.
#4
well about 2 days ago there where about 11 all under 1k so i bout them all. and they are from Christmas 2008.Item Search < tektek.org
#5
That is very weird
It was a christmas event in 2009
But i says the item came out in 2008?
#6
Lol, I bought one for 500g. Just for the hell of it. I wonder when the price will come back down.
#7
I got one. It's from 08. I dunno why they're inflating it so much though..
#8
lol... i got around 500 of those on my mule from botting long ago
#9
There is no way that they will sell for that much.

Someone is botting them all, 'cause they obviously didn't read my topic about inflating. ;)
#11
I personnaly reckon the item's stupid. If it sells for high and well, then I'd sell it.
#12
LOL
8,000,000 lowest buy price?

It's back down to 7000.
#13

People are going to keep selling low. I bought one for under 300, even though the lowest buy price (excluding mine) was like 1m. Whoever's wasting their money on this deserves it for not listening to me. :)

Did you see OP's post?
Those people are extremely desperate to inflate.
It went up 2000+%.
#18
That's nice. It's still selling for 200, even though they invested millions into it. They obviously don't know how inflation works. So, like I said, they deserve their loss of money for not listening to me.

No one ever listens to you lol.
You make too much sense.
#20
People will keep selling it for lower, thinking that someone will buy thinking that they can turn around and sell it for a large amount like 1mill or whatever it's at now.
#21
It's at 200. ;)
There's like 10 listings for 200g or less.

Inflation fail.
#22
I found out something cool about this.

It can hold both poses at once.
#23
Someone buy the 9k one. The next up prices are in the 300k range.
#24
Why?

It's just a pointless, inflated item -.-
#25
Would the price keep going up tho if it was inflated?
#26
Provided people continue to inflate it, yes.

Also, I'm guessing some newbies(or not) hoping to make some money are going 'lolz eets an old aitem letz inlfailte ett lololol'

n00b Translater - Laugh out loudz its an old item lets infailte(in-fail-te=infaltion fail) it laugh out loud out loud out loud :D
#27

I hope you're joking. Wait a day, and the price will be back down to 200g.
#28
I'm suprised it still has this much activity.
#29
its not even a nice looking item, and really has no poses.
#30
Yeah, I know. On the go's alright though. And it can hold both poses at once, on different hands. might post a pic later..
#31
Yeah, its now down to 19,999. But the items really dumb though
#32
I think that's been said enough times.

One question, how many people actually own this thing?
#33
~~~~~!
Woahh, I just realized that we had a cheer-o-meter for the 09 xmas event. O__O
Foreshadowing, maybe...?
dk.
#34

I bought multiple ones when I noticed whomever was botting them.
The only way to successfully inflate is if the botter gets banned. That's what happened to my Cards account. I was botting the Celebrity Snare cards (back when I first joined LG 1.0). There were 10+ pages of 1g cards (god knows how many pages total).
Here they are now: Item Search | Marketplace | Gaia Online

Listings range: 3 - 30
Price range: 20 - 1000

So, I inflated the shit out of those. My account got banned, and it had at least 1000 of those cards. So if this other guy gets banned, the ones I bought will be worth a lot more than what I spent when I bought them.



Also, they're back down to 300g. Botter spent an average of 1k each. The total inflation of each has only gone up by ~100g. O U botters.
#36
when you inflate something its like when you get a bunch of the same item makeing the price go up and then selling it for the price you bought up to?
#37
Kinda. Inflation is just buying the items to make the price go up. Selling them back will deflate them as you sell them, and thus isn't part of inflation.

In short:
The price of an item is 5g. You buy one (-5g). The price goes up to 10g. You buy one (-15g). The price goes up to 15g. You buy one (-30g).
You sell one for 15g (-15g). The price drops to 10g. You sell one for 10g (-5g). The price drops to 5g. You sell one for 5g (0).
You're back where you started. You just ended up getting your money back.

For math nerds, we wouldn't inflate the item after 15g, because the limit as x approaches 0 of Inflation(x) = New_Price(x) - Old_Price(x) = 0. The example inflations as an easy-to-read rate, whereas a marketplace item would increase at the rate of a fraction of 1g.

Hence inflation only works if the botter gets banned (and said items don't get released back into the marketplace).
#38
Lol it's already back down to 300g
how depressing
#39
there was a glitch in 2008 when it was sent out to ppl who did the event a lot of ppl didnt get the item so if you didnt dont feel left out also its a gay item not worth your time

The cheer-o-meter was Santa's moter, Nicolae stole it from the sleigh and gave it to the Overseer.
