I buy low and sell when prices go up. I had blue retz and sold them so I could buy something else, then sold that so I could make more coins...and onwards. I finally managed to buy the pink retz. because I have always liked them. I just sold an ugly hair for 2 mill cause people think it's popular. So, making coins takes time and effort but it is possible. I'm no mogul and I don't have the big coinage you're talking about but I can buy what I like. Also, until they release new stuff, there's very little to spend coins on but the old stuff.

To make 20 mil coins,
20M / 20K = 1000yocash I need to buy
so I need 2x 660yc = 200$
I have to deal all the yocash I bought in game, so can get the coins.

Shortly I will be payed --200$ + all the time and effort to deal the yc-- for a tiny virtual item drawn on photoshop, consisted of a few colored pixels.

The same 200$, can buy me a pair of real DIOR or GUCCI sunglasses. :)

This is just a game, and the amount of money that needs to be spent in order to get nice stuff shouldn't be so serious amounts.
I like this game but I don't like the current in-game pricing at all. That happened because of zynga's greed and their WRONG strategy.

They intentionally let those hackers and crazy amount of illegal coins leak in to game. Bombarded us with short-time themes, and lots of new themes one after the other. To draw the prices and rates up, so they thought people would buy more yocash. But that didn't happen. It totally backfired. They lost A LOT OF players. So many people quit. Not enough people bought yc and stuff, so they decided to close the game down.

Even at the moment, BVG's prices are very high too. If I were in charge, I would sell 1000yc for max 30$. The more people can buy it, the more I earn, the more players I get. I am selling a virtual currency after all. Low prices will encourage more people to spend money on this game.
Current prices, both in game market and the company's yc prices are scary to many potential new players. This will push newcomers back.

Also there is a fact that, this game is not for the people who has good income in real life. Why I say that, because the majority of the people who play this game, has tons of spare time, probably has nothing to do better for fun because they can't afford a nice trip, a summer vacation, or any other fun activity outside, most likely unemployed, still a student, a sit-at-home mom, disabled, or just old, retired, watching grand-kids at home ...etc The people who have a good income, a good job and a good life just won't spend this much time on a FB game because they simply have other things to do. So in economy, there is something called "target customer profile" that's what I am talking about.

This is not a type of game you can play 1-2 hours once in a while, leave it and come back continue where you left. So much things change in a short time in game. It takes sooo much time to decorate, to chase stuff..etc Those who "try" to play once in a while and can't play regularly, simply can't achieve much, get bored easily and don't bother spending any money.

Shortly, pirces need to go down or eventually BVG will have the same problems that Zynga had with this game.

Sorry for the super long post. I just had a lot to say lol Just my opinions, I won't be mad at anyone who disagrees :) We are just discussing after all.

I took a look at the list... and just ...sigh well, mission impossible... lol

For pink rets, I wouldn't pay even 1mil lol They are not that appealing to me however, they are the ultimate status symbol in yo combined with an old bow, well that's another subject.

I would only spare 20m for retros if I had around 300M coins LOL

Ive been looking everywhere for those missing pianos for you, they are so hard to find :lol:

Aww thank you so much !! You can't imagine how precious it is to me that you actually thought about it and looked for them. Giant Hugs !!

Yes, they are so hard to find, I think because there were from the themes when Yoville went directly downhills, many people quit and didn't even bother with new themes any more. So I guess not many people bought them, including me.

Glad you do Adolf. There is a lot more truth to things I say than you might suspect. By the way, the cigar does not work with a Hitler costume. He did not smoke.

There are deals around, however. I picked up my Maid at Auction House for same price I picked up another costume several months ago. Both were a lucky deal and well under what you see them listed for.

If you all will spend so much on stuff, those of us who don't have that kind of coins in the game will never have a chance. That bums me out severely.

What about the game has changed? It feels like freaking real life - I can't afford anything in it either. I have been sick for 22 years and now I can't keep solid food down. And found a doc but he is so far away, i need to stay in a hotel... for 160 dollars a night.

As you can imagine, my escape from that into Yo is kind of not helping.
Sorry to be negative, it just seems like a lot of you are rolling in coins and bragging about it & I don't understand how in the heck you have millionS of coins.

Maybe - hopefully - he doesn't want to look like that (cussing) Monster. No one should want to dress like a psychotic murderer.

hi there MrSee

I just like to start by saying not all us rich people out here are price jacking and raising prices, some of us are here to have fun. I been playing since 08 and try to help out people who don't have as much coins when I can but it is also a 2 way street because people trying to beg for money when you check there badge and they spent 100 thousand coins doesn't help you point. I know where you coming from as we all stared from the bottom and trying to work out way up. I put this to you if you rerelease all the items like as been suggested on the forum recently it wouldn't help any one as no would make any coin as every one would be worse off as once every one has it , it would never make them any coins. I think 08 costumes and 08 collectables should stay as it is as it is so us rich have way to make money still and if they want to rerelease any thing maybe they should look at unreleased items eg lime grime jeans ,whites jeans vegas urinal and certain rich people I seen trying to price jack which is why peole have lots of coins and also which is why people hate us rich people. Understand I am not a hater just making my point of view known

If I had 10k for EVERY item that's probably better quality than that old stuff, I would probably have enough to afford them, actually.
