... Or does subeta have REALLY expensive donation items.
It's kinda silly how expensive they are. I think they would make more money if the items weren't ridiculously priced. :mad:
That's very possibly a fact. They do seem to charge alot.

Yeah, they do seem kind of pricey, but I see a lot of people buying them.

I dunno, I could never see myself paying $30 for ONE potion or $100 for a plushie...

The 100 dollar item isn't just a plushie, it allows a user more pet slots. Keith set it that high so only serious players of the game would get the item. VERY serious players.
The other stuff is actually quite pricey, I remember being told the Angle potion is supposed to be very rare so that's why, everything else however I'm not sure.

According to Keith, the plushies (Mystical Donadak and Mystical Montre) are (or rather, were) that pricey because using them, a player can have 15 pets opposed to 5, thus causing more database load. Now that they have better servers, I hope the prices will drop.

The prices won't drop. Theres no way they were that pricey because of a whole 10 more pet slots causing data load. I call BS on that.

My thinking on the expensive Pet-slot Plushies is that Keith said (when the site was fairly new) that there would be NO MORE than 10 pet slots ... EVER. Users kept chiding him about it so he finally said "Here ya go". The price was kind of to poke fun at the people that wanted those extra pet slots but they actually began to buy them. Like I said, though, that's just my take on it. You're right, though - some are VERY expensive.

I believe he originally priced it at a thousand dollars or something as a joke, then lowered, so this doesn't have much relevance.

They're priced high because Keith needs more new clothes. :(

Regardless, I think it's absurd. I mean Subeta has a decent following, there's really no need to price items that high. If the Pet-slot Plushies were priced at about $50, It'd be more reasonable. I mean I personally would never spend that much on just one item... But then the other items would be decently priced.

Ya, I know right. But, Subeta's players will continue to support the site by buying expensive items. It's not a joke, an it's not absurd. The players would rather buy items than have a site full of ads.

I doubt the players are thinking about ads being placed on the website when they buy the items.
I'm sure all they're thinking about is how they want that particular item.

I have bought stuff from sites before to support them. I feel like they deserve it for giving me something enjoyable. I fgure if I pay $30 for a PS2 game, I can spend a bit of cash on the pet site. =/
Also Adds are nothing. I know at least in firefox you can get plug-ins that take the adds off sites.

$200 jeans don't pay for themselves, amirite?

Oh, those haircuts are done with the money that would be sent for taxes...
You'd be surprised at what you can afford with TAX EVASION! :D

As far as I know, no proof as to the validity of those screenshots was ever produced...

still that's WAY overpriced. Most sites would charge like $10-20 for something like that

He might need more than clothes! But paying those prices for his therapy isn't my idea of fun either lol
way too pricey and then item has to be traded for millions !
