Due to the inflation, the owners of the Millionare Center decided it would be a good time to put up their stock of Gold Account Medals.
They will be up for a very limited time. :)

Thank you so much!
thank you, thank you, thank you!<br />
<br />
I finally got my 10th pet <img src=/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_grin.gif border=0><br />
<br />
and from what I can see in trades they are slowly going down because of there being more in circulation which I believe was the original intention.

Awesome! I bought two<img src=/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_grin.gif border=0>
It's making perfect sense to me. They'll be in the MC just long enough to put a crashing halt to the extreme jump that the GA medals were heading for. It's actually a sensible price, IMO. The benefits of a GA aren't exactly the same as other items, initially anyway. So maybe they don't so easily convert from dollars into sp. In any case, they shouldn't stay available that way too long....subeta needs a reason for people to donate real monies <img src=/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_raspberry.gif border=0>

that rox! xD
LooneyLupeGirL, I of course don't know what Keith's exact intentions are but what I think he's aiming for is the idea that if more are available in the trades then it will be harder for the prices to inflate. Hopefully a good amount will stay in the trades for a while, thus preventing the price from increasing. And I guess if down the road prices get too ridiculous again then maybe the GA medals will again be released in the MC for a short time.

For those who just paid for their GA's, think of it this way...you can buy this with your sp, and hold onto it for next month! So you'll have two back to back! Wee! Party time!

aww :-( I just mailed in REAL money for a gold account and now you can "buy" a GA with points!?! <br />
<br />
I think that if someone sends in REAL money right now (and as long as the GA medals are for sale) then they should get a "free bonus" month added on.<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance! ;-)

i just sent in my money for a new gold account today. but i'm really tempted to buy one of these anyway. i really miss my ga, which expired about a week ago.<br />
<br />
i wonder if i can hold out until my money is received, etc <img src=/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_raspberry.gif border=0>

Ok my other question is this.. Once they are taken out of the MC who's to say people won't get greedy again and inflate the price again..???
I had no idea how long this would last, so I bought one. It's on my best friend's wishlist, so I might be extra kind and gift it to him. <img src=/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif border=0>
One quck question. I've had a GA before, but it was only for one month and it was waaaaaaay before these medals came about. Now I just bought two. Do I have to wait until the first month is over before activating the second, or can I activate both now and get the two months back to back? Just wondering.
Thank you! I just bought one and activated it. <img src=/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_grin.gif border=0>
omg! trips over people as she runs to buy one I wont get my paycheck for my new job I just started for a couple weeks, so I'm glad I can finally get one this way...yay!
User not found:
Omg yay! I can finally get that GA my dad wouldn't let me buy! xD

Star.. right now Keith is having problems with paypal (it's a long story) but untill he gets it sorted out then people have to snail mail in their payment useing cash.
User not found:
i get it. XD<br />
but since it was only gonna be up for a while, it wouldn't affect the income much regardless right? i mean, arent most payments made through paypal anyways?

Ah ok .. so your saying that this is just an option for those whom can't send in real money for whatever reason.. and don't wanna pay inflated prices of the Trades... <br />
<br />
Ok I get it now..<br />
<br />
Ok I get it now..<br />
Keith, I just have to say thank you. Since the change in the Donation page not taking Paypal I was at a loss. I dont send money though the mail. I now have enough to hold me over. I just hope something gets fixed so I can pay wth paypal. I've been buying GA's for a year, so I deff. wanna keep buying.
LooneyLupeGirL, I think Keith just wants the price of the GAs to deflate a little bit in the trades then the GAs will no longer be avaulable in the MC. BUT, he doesn't want the price to deflate to much because then no one will be purchasing them from the donation page (after he takes them out of the MC) because they'll be able to get them very cheap in the trades. Get what I'm saying?

I'm saying that by users being able to buy them from the MC - they <b>aren't</b> buying them from the donation page, or paying someone onsite to.<br />
<br />
Previously, to get a GA <b>someone</b> had to buy it with real money, which isn't hte case now.<br />
<br />
If we made them cheap, no one would <b>need</b> buy them from the donation shop, because theyc ould just get hem for <b>cheap</b> onsite.

So, we couldn't make them cheap on the site - because people wouldn't need to donate to get them anymore. Which would cause a big fall in our income<br />
<br />
<br />
Ok maybe i'm dumb but i still don't get it..<br />
If they are in the MC right now then people technically aren't donating when buying them.. so how is a profit being made?

I think it is just awesome Keith that you did this for everyone, seeing how it takes away from donation money for the site! I don't think anyone should complain about the price, you need to take the time to remember that by having them for sale, it will be taking money away from the Subeta site itself! I mean it cost "REAL" money to keep this site up and running. Much thanks!

I'm saying that, gold accounts are where most fo hte profit on subeta comes from.<br />

Ok Keith i'll agree with ya on the yes it's a smart way to make it to where most people wont try to charge more then 700K for one now..<br />
<br />
But i dont understand this comment <br />
"ALso, remember. Subeta makes its profit from Gold Accounts, we can't just give them away."<br />
<br />
Yes I realize that when they were in the donation shop and you got real money from people for them subeta made a profit... but now that people are using sp to buy them how is subeta making a profit??

Thank you! I saw someone asking for 14 mil for one <img src=/images/smilies/6398_emoticon_sad.gif border=0> It's ridiculous.
User not found:
cant afford one at 700k ♥ huzzah.
At the moment i think its a wonderful idea, i thought that paying 2 million for one was ludacris..
User not found:
yay saving up finely worked!!!!!!!!!
User not found:
I was wondering, just how long would it be in the MC?
User not found:
i agree with looney. it is a bit steep for me too. i think im gonna buy a bunch and start selling them for 650K. XD im so mean sometimes... XP

The reason we made it 700k is because we want this to be the LAST STOP for users who need one, currently.<br />
<br />
We're hoping that deflation takes over, and users start selling them for less and less (since htey obviously couldn't sell them for MORE than 700k)<br />

Whoa, a bit pricy :/ Oh well -waits for more to be in trades-
User not found:
Ok this was a good idea..<br />
but I do have a question..<br />
If they cost $5 on the donation page (when they were there) .. then why are they 700K instead of 500K??<br />
I mean most of the people based their prices like this : $5 =500K.. $10 = 1 mil and so on....<br />
Ok yes I know there were those greedy people out there who were trying to charge like 5 mill + when the donation page was down.. but i mean dang like people could really afford that.. so they werent selling for that much.. so again why 700K .. it just seems steep to me.. but whatever..
