Oh man. Ohmanohmanohman. I got an AFK. crying
Not once EVER did I think I could get one with just a bunch of spare letter sets lying around. Okay, granted I sold all the letter sets I was hoarding since 2005 (a grand total of about THREE (not counting the two '07 sets I had)), but still... I technically didn't have to get rid of any of my worn and loved MCs. I used a ZONY Discman in my offer, but at the time I still had a few '06 letters in the vend (actually right now they're still there) which add up to a good 150K so I can buy it back if I really want it.
I've learned something from this. Using the gold I'm going to get from my current art shop and another one I'm going to set up (hopefully the new one with take precedence since it's going to be easy - 5K an image, a simple colored one drawn with my tablet) I'm going to stock up on a few '08 and '09 sets. Then in about a year or two I'll be able to afford an angelic sash! That's my dream item on Gaia. I'm halfway there already and technically I can put together a few of my '04 items and get it tomorrow if I really wanted to, but I don't want to give those up.
Actually, I lie. My ultimate dream item is a pair of bunny slippers. But those are worth at least 3x the amount of a sash. I'll have to work my way up through minis to get them. Maybe. If I'm motivated enough.
I'm not that great of an exchanger. Actually, I do very little exchanging. All of my virtual wealth has come through investments and patience. I'm much better at that (and cutting people good deals in the exchange, apparently, when I DO use it) than sitting there waiting for "the right time to strike" and all that jazz that those exchangers do. If I'm going to invest my time in doing something like that, I'd rather work with real money and the stock market, but then again I don't have enough money IRL to actually come through with a good investment. XP And I don't really have the patience for that, either, but who knows.
I'm not going to keep the AFK for long, I just want to see what kinds of outfits I can make before upgrading to an OMG.
