Now that I looked at _who_ bought it, it's even funnier.

Yesterday, for some reason, the market on Goth Kid shirts was nearly dry; the lowest price out there was 200,000,000 meat. I had one, so I put it up as a joke at 199,999,995 meat.

Another seller popped up a few minutes later with 60 of them for sale, and put his at 100,000,000 meat.

I dug the concept of a ridiculous undercutting war, so I put _mine_ at 50 million.

He dropped his to 10 million.

I dropped mine to 1 million.

He dropped his to 250,000.

I dropped mine to 100,000, then figured "screw it" and put it at 500,000 and left it there.

HE BOUGHT MINE AT THAT PRICE.

Now, a REALLY funny bit. Check the market now, and the guy has 60 of them at 10 million apiece. There are a couple of dozen at 1 million or less, with the lowest at 75,000 meat. So much for the "corner the market" strategy.

Now the REALLY REALLY funny bit. Do you know how one acquires a Goth Kid T-Shirt in the first place?

1) Ascend.
2) Select a Moxie sign.
3) Buy the Torso Awaregness skill for 5,000 meat.
4) Obtain a Warm Subject Gift Certificate, which can be bought from the mall for as little as 445 meat if you don't have one or don't feel like adventuring for one.
5) Use it.

It's that simple. It's not that great of an item, it's not hard at all to obtain, and every single player can get one every time they go through a Moxie path.

Five hundred thousand.

I love this game.
