This is why you never buy CIs
So, remember how I was telling everyone to hoard the new CI and a few people used them thinking they would make a profit and didn't?

Well, I'm making this thread to prove your chances of making a profit off of a CI are extremely small.

So, I found an account with 1600 Gaia Cash in my FLP ($16 worth, for those who didn't know)

This was my test.

Starting out: 1600 Gaia Cash

Purchase: 10 "Ships Happen" CIs (Worth 1,000,000g total, 100,00g each)

Upon using, this is what I got:

Item 1: Foodomatic (Worth 30k)
Item 2: French Roast Coffee (Worth 40k)
Item 3: The Moon (Mewn Mew!) (Worth 12k)
Item 4: Priscilla the Perfect (Worth 173k)
Item 5: O-Tea-P (Worth 9k)
Item 6: Soundtrack of Love (Worth 13k)
Item 7: Purple Prose (Worth 9k)
Item 8: Fic Writer (Worth 10k)
Item 9: Master of the Internetverse (Worth 40k)
Item 10: Haggard's Matador (Worth 50k)

Total Spent: $16/1600 GCash/1,000,000g

Total Earned: 386,000g

Total LOST: 614,000g

Now maybe you guys will understand, NEVER USE CIs!

Noooo don't waste it, hoarding it is better and will be more profitable in the long run. NEVER use CIs!

CI's sell for 700k for 1000gcash thats probably the most you get from 1000gcash

Oh god, don't do it.

Ships Happen was the first CI bought, and I bought a bundle of them. I was stupid and opened them all, and all but three were shit items.

They were worth much more when they first came out. Priscilla has dropped 50% of its original price in the last 2 weeks as i know it.

Your luck was kinda crappy, but even with average luck you'll lose a few hundred grand on each bundle

I was extremely lucky. I decided to play one RiG once, just for the hell of it, and I got an item worth 4.5 mill. I never played another again. I know when to fold!

Never use RiGs, but certainly buy and hold them.
