THANK YOU FOLKS, PLEASE DON'T SEND MORE BEADS!
I posted in the marketplace forum, but prices seem really really off right now. I want to provide this creative Glitch with her namesake artifact as a way of saying thank you. But I don't want to go broke doing it.
As for what I mean by prices being off, glancing around the marketplace and towers, I can assemble the rare platinum spork for about 1 million to 3.5 million. With the lowest price for the more common beads, the necklace would cost about 4.25 million to assemble. That's like charging more for a chick cubi than a rube, and that's generally insane.
So I've put a standing offer up in the marketplace for caiyotite beads. I put out 10k, figuring the common artifact should be worth somewhere between 100k and 250k. But many people are actually asking 250k per bead.
Doing a little math, I decided up to about 1 million for the necklace seemed fair, so I've upped my offer to 60k. But I think it's important that one of the first, if not the first, of these necklaces go to their originator, and I'm hoping others in the community agree.
Voluptua Sneezelips has already donated one bead. So I need 16 more. If you do not want to donate, I will honor the 60k offer. But keep in mind, this is not for me, this is a gift.
Let's pull together and do something awesomely Glitchy.
Update #1: 11 out of 17! I appreciate the other things that have been donated/offered to donate (looking to trade those Ouzian beads as I type this), but I don't want to personally benefit from doing this, so please hold off a bit and we'll see what happens after tonight's reward is distributed. Awesome!
Update #2: 17 of 17. I owe someone Ouzian beads, and I wrote down the name, and lost it. I will recognize it though so no funny stuff. ETA: oh found her in the other thread, mystery solved. Great job Glitchen!
