While flip selling other artists accents at an exorbient price is pretty scummy, a skin artist is allowed to set whatever prices they want for /their own/ skins. Even though it's kind of ridiculous to set pie in the sky prices, the ball is still in their court. It's just that skins and accents may not sell

an anon earlier in this thread cracked me up saying y is struggling to sell all 100 but imo selling anything close to that with the markup is wildly successful

+1

Honestly selling even a third of that goal would turn a pretty ok profit vs the time spent making and selling the skin, provided you don't print too many extra copies in advance. That's the benefit of pricing something higher than a few hundred gems.

in business, when selling, the only time you can price high is the first time you list. you can always cut the price later if you feel it needs to be, but no one in their right mind is gonna want to pay more later.

I've bumped up prices on G1s by 5-10kg and had them sell but I would not recommend people gamble with that tactic as it can take a lot of patience.

It's the same with his hatchery. I don't get why people buy his dragons, often they are nothing special, even have basic genes, but are expensive compared to AH.

Does anyone know from whom he bought the new G1 imp?

wow, he has SIX gen one Imperials. a level of power i may never hope to reach :P

5 of them have purchase dates listed in their bios, so i'm guessing Vashna #69877578 is the newest one? Wayback Machine archives from 2022 all show him belonging to Shian.

SA
his prices for g2 Imperials are in line with what I'd expect. i'm seeing some listed now for 1200-1500g, which fits cozily within market. it doesn't matter at all to me if they have basic genes or not. usually the people willing to shell out for this kind of dragon aren't shy about dumping more gems into them once they're "home."

Vashna was bought from Cross, who bought him from Shian.

he who can't be named sold their gen1 imp for an extremely low price. it looked like a manic sell-off. ysdaar was able to afford it since they've had the gems on hand. HWCBN sold their gen1 imp for the lowest a gen1 imp has sold in years iirc.

It wasn't a RMT deal, that particular dude was probably afraid of something and panic sold. Ysdaar was just lucky to have the gems in time to respond.

Maybe not to the current owner, but that G1 imp was 100% involved in RMT recently.

100%? How do you know for certain?
