is it not a good idea?

I was wondering about an inflation idea. There is too much of this one item. I have been buying a ton of it on a mule account. I was going to have the account banned so no one can touch that item. Is that a bad idea? On the mule there has to be at least one thousand of that item... So, what do you think?

Banning the account is a good idea, but keeping the account is not a bad idea either.
Just try to keep it, do illegal stuffs and buy more of that item.
Eventually, it'll get banned ^_^

We've tried it before, just not the whole getting it banned thing. Shit got inflated massively for the first couple of hours or so, but then it dropped back down.

it wont work. it will start to deflate almost instantly. you would have to horde the item for months before you could get all of it and actually get the item at a high, permanent price.

getting the account banned isnt a good idea either since it would be cleaned out and sent back out into the gaian market for sale. so the item would relaly just go back to normal.

the banned account would be cleared, and the items put back into the market. no real point in getting banned. keep it legit, and horde and the items will stay high generally.

Sent back into the market? Like sold on staff's accounts?
How come banned accout's avatars stay the same after they're banned then?

I understand what you are trying to do... If you want those items permanently removed from the market, sell them all to a store.

basically. its happened to me before. most of the time thay are held in a storage unit with the staff and sent back to the owners.

its happened to a few of my friends and to a few of my older accounts that i had about 3 months back.

I honestly never knew that. Thanks for the information.

Same, I always thought that after you hacked someone they were just out of luck.

for some items, yes they are out of luck, but if it is a rare item, like DJ headphones, ninja headband, kistune mask, ancient katana, and items like that that are really rare and hard to come by now-a-days, they are generally returned through the sale logs, trade logs/trasaction logs.

the main way they find out is that they end up just monitoring high end item trades,sales,gifts,etc. any item that is half-way decent will be monitored by some member of the staff in some way.

@Gabe: yep. no problem.

Is there any way of deleting an item?

I took a NM scarf from a pretty active user once, nothing happened for months. (I sold it pretty fast) Only got banned because one of my r/l friends opened her mouth.
@ Genari, the closet thing you can do to deleting an item is probably selling it, spreading the gold out between a few accounts, buying random mc's with those, and spread the mc's among even more accounts xD

there are possible factors that may have contributed to the item not leading to a ban. there are always factors. an account that is very active may have hacked the item itself and didnt want to get caught themselves so they didnt report it. or they just didnt care.
