    Help! I think I'm going batty!o_O Every time I go to the market, I find myself drawn to the breeding animals, and I find myself buying furry bats, lots and lots of furry bats :eek:. I can't help it, they keep getting listed at 10 to 20k lower than hungry bats, and I feel obligated to snatch them up. Now my belfry's full of furry bats, and I'm afraid I'm going to end up sucked dry of CCs:p:cry:. Just waiting for an event or other call, where I intend to make millions off my furry little friends, bwahahaha!xD

    Just found a Peking duck for 362,778.63 (next 2 were 720,246.56 and 950,000 respectively, with index being 705,841.63):).

    Cooking pots, purchased during the event @ 29k to 33K - usually in lots of 1 or2, lots of clicking
    but sold at 40, 45,46K so very much worth it. Barn stock intact.
    Many were able to turn a profit from this event, Nice!

    - Needed to edit this post, as I really am not happy with what I wrote at all. It should have stayed a thought and never made it into print, better yet I should have sold more of this item at a cheaper cost (market vultures most likely would have snapped them up ) but possibility not..being self centered is really not in my nature... Here so many were struggling to complete this event, some did not finish at all, and some I imagine might not have finished due to not having enough stock of this very item.. so sorry all, not my proudest moment.
    Have no idea what I was thinking.

    Do you actually have the check in hand or are they mailing it out ?? :music:xD

    Solo, Nice! sell

    Wish I was not so attached to my peacocks.. It's still delightful to see them in the barn, they are so pretty.

    Just sold my hamster feed for 890 cc each, and bought some hamsters for 730 cc each :D Some are taking the new mill pictures very seriously :wuerg:

    That saves me from putting out my hamster stalls for the "Wolf next door" quest :p


    Edit: Bought 125 blackthorn plums for 3500 each, immediately resold at 5500 each 8)

    I have taken to scouting the market for animals/products sold in bulk to save growing/raising them myself - hence why my 10 million + on Illy has dwindled down to 3 million! Just going through the animals and managed to get 40 Pandas for 0.10 each! I couldn't click quick enough so didn't have time to check out the name but I know it must be someone who is leaving the game so it is sad but how generous to sell their stock before leaving the game. Or am I missing another reason why someone would sell at the lowest possible price? :oops:

    Today is my shopping day...:inlove:

    12 bikinis, each costs 1500 CC     (normal price is 2200 CC)
    1 Strawberry muffin for 3000 CC (normal price is 4000 CC)
    1 Anniversary boutonniere for 700 CC (normal price is 1000 CC)

    I bought 24 more bikinis (each cost 2200 CC) and donated them to the FSQ.
    I consumed the strawberry muffin and anniversary boutonniere to get 2500 EP.

    It has happened to me a few times lately - there is one particular farmer who goes through the market selling at 0.10. I have picked up a few bargains but sometimes I just can't click fast enough! Also, sometimes I go to the next item too quickly - hardly believing my eyes. o_O

    I do enjoy the bargains ... and yes, as you said, it does make my day, but I still feel a little sad that I am benefiting from a farmer who is leaving ... :(

    Absolutely Cats! You never know when these will be required for an event/FSQ or when their price just soars for no reason at all. Of course, you can sell them back straight away and make a little profit but I prefer to wait till they are in demand! I guess I have been around Farmer Broke too long! xD
