How is that spot on?

As I said, I know several people who bought yocash just to get the jaguars that were unintentionally re-released. And some of those people ended up buying 10+ jags in total either by their own money spent or someone else's money spent on yocash.

I'm willing to bet the most profit BVG has made on this game was due to that "unintentional mistake."

People love to claim that re-releases are terrible and people just want something for nothing. Well many of these items that are sought after were yocash to begin with and even with a re-release someone needs to spend their real money for a person to acquire more of them.

What will help the economy is people spending some of their own money . i do not believe this game can survive if people do not buy yocash. People use re-releasing to ultimately bolster their income when they sell the re-released stuff. I saw it happen. I am watching it happen right now.
Big V will put new items and clothing up for sale. People will buy yocash and others will buy yocash items from them and so on and so forth. We need to allow that process to take place.
I find it interesting that we are seeing more and more of this type of thread as we get closer to what might be a release of new goods. People have to realize they cannot continue playing this game on the backs of the rest of us. They have to do something other than buy and sell high priced goods in order to get what they want of new stuff.
Many people bought f/g items and while they paid less than what the real things would cost, they are stuck with that stuff and cannot resell it. They are looking for a way to make a quick buck. To them I say don't try to make the rest of us who did not do that pay for your mistakes.

My name is JDS . I just like to post to a reply I made to a similar but not the same thing in another post. This is just my view I not a hater:

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

I think it would really suck if it turned out to be a waste of their time and money if the game failed. That's why I think as a community we need to make some sacrifices if necessary to ensure that the game succeeds, as bvg sacrificed their war chest for this community.

The reason re-releases didn't make a difference when Zynga did it, is because they weren't re-released permanently. If they were put back into the game permanently in a megastore it would prevent prices climbing again as people would be able to buy items from store and not from people looking to bolster their income by selling at crazy prices. When I talk about re-releases I don't mean collectibles coming back, they were always items that were available for a limited time and never again, hence the name collectibles. Collectibles are the items that are meant to gain in value, not bowls of strawberries.

If BVG items are put into the game and then taken back out, it would allow for a new era of items to gain in value, items that would help BVG succeed, but re-releases would go some way to level out the yoconomy and bring back a bit of sanity to the prices people charge.

Your logic and grasp of economics are solid. But as long as people feel strongly about the apparent caste system they've created and their place within it above those they deem as welfare recipients, cheap or below them in any other way, they'll never come around to accepting what's best for the community because it may go against what's best for *them*.

This horse is beyond a dead bloody pulp. Lol.
