Welcome to Gaia! ::

Disclaimer: The GEN is NOT always accurate. Prices change constantly, so items may sell for MORE or LESS than the estimated value of an item in the Exchange. We are only a guide and do not have to be taken strictly.

The GEN is also not responsible for users selling items below the store's sellback value. Estimated values are gathered from the prices that items sell for in the Exchange, regardless of sellback.


* A red asterisk by an item's Estimated Value and its Sellback designates that it may sell for more to the store than it does in the Exchange.


Commons sell back to the stores for 50% of what they can be purchased for there; therefore, they are not listed as prices generally stay between the sellback price and the full price. Selling above full store price can be considered scamming.


The price list works like this:
item image
item name
how item is obtained without buying it in the Exchange or the Marketplace
Sellback: the price that the item can sell to the store for (may be more than estimated value)
Estimated Value: the estimated price at which the item might sell at in the Excange (may be less than sellback)
Gender: which gender(s) can equip the item on their avatars
Equip: which slot the item fills when equipped (if it can be equipped)
Comments: any extra information concerning the item
Last Checked On: the date that the estimated value was last changed or checked (what was changed/checked is in parentheses)
Last Checked By: the GENer that last updated the item value


Tip: Since the price list is very long, use Ctrl + F to search for a specific item.

Lemon Candy - Found in Barton Boutique
Lime Candy - Found in Gambino Outfitters
Rasberry Candy - Found in Gambino Hat Rack

Easter 2004:

Easter Eggs - Found in Egg Hunt Forum


The following items were involved in an event but never appeared in the user's inventory.

April Fool's Day 2004:
Blue Giftbox - This is not the same as the rare blue giftbox! Found around the site only on April 1st, these caused the YGS image to appear and the avatar's face to blacken for at least 24 hours. A side glitch caused the entire avatar to disappear, leaving only boxers and a blackened face glowing green in place of the avatar, even for former females. Many users have chosen to keep their blackened faces or their "ghost" avatars by not changing clothes.

Q. What can I buy/sell in the Exchange?
A. You can buy or sell any Gaian item, from the store or otherwise. (Most people will not buy store items at full price.)

Q. What can I not buy/sell in the Exchange.
A. You cannot sell yourself, your soul, art, pets, or other non-Gaian items. Selling yourself/your soul belongs in Charity; it cannot so much as imply sexual favors, and you should not buy someone to receive sexual favors. Buying/selling art, pets, and other signature images belongs in the Mini Shops forum. You should not buy/sell items from outside of Gaian (including objects from real life), and you should not buy Gaian items with real money.

Q. 1k? 1g? What's the difference?
A. Letters are used in place of long numbers or to show the value of numbers. "k" is short for "kilo," which stands for 1000. 1k equals 1000, 2k equals 2000, and so on. Any number followed by k should be multiplied by 1000. "g" is simply short for "gold." For example, 1g equals 1 gold.

Q. What is a "scam"?
A. A "scam" is when someone wrongfully cheats another user out of gold or items. Scammers may be banned depending on the severity of the offense. For example, trying to sell a regular headband from the store as a halo would be a scam.

Q. What is a bump?
A. A "bump" (also said to mean "bring up my post" wink brings the thread it is posted in to the top of the first page of the forum.

Q. What is spam?
A. "Spam n. Unnecessary comments posted in a thread that are not conducive to discussion and used just to gain gold and annoy others. (Hence, spam belongs in the Chatterbox). In other words, idiotic comments that someone posts just to annoy other users or display that user's own ignorance (or in some cases, stupidity)..." -Aquafire
Also stands for Short, Pointless, Annoying Message.

Q. Why do prices change from time to time?
A. Users help determine prices. What they are willing to buy at determines what the price will sell at. Also, the supply determines prices. If there are many of one item, then the price is likely to stay low because the number of people willing to pay a high price for an item readily available decreases.

Q. I can't add items to my side of the trade! Why?
A. You probably need a trading pass. To get a trading pass, go to Gambino by clicking the orange arrow above the Barton Town map. Then, go to the bank of Gambino. It is the green building to the right of the stores. There will be an option to buy a trading pass. Trading passes cost 500 gold and never need to be renewed.

Q. What's the point of paying 500 gold for a trading pass?
A. It prevents users from creating new accounts simply to send the starting gold to their original account.

Q. I have a question about how to get donation items...
A. Questions about donations? Ask here! (Donation FAQ)
To get a letter for the current month, donate $2.50 US or more to Gaia through PayPal, check, or money order. Their mailing address is given in the FAQ linked to at the top right hand corner of the page, and the PayPal button is on the front page of Gaia under the ad banners. If you cannot donate real money, the letter or the items can most likely be purchased in the Exchange if you have enough gold.

Q. Why isn't X item in the store?
A. There are several possible reasons. It could be an item listed here on the GEN. Any item listed here is not available in the stores. It could be an item for the opposite gender. A user can only see items for his/her gender or for both genders in the store. Also, you might not have checked all the stores. Barton Boutique, Barton Jewelers, Gambino Outfitters, Gambino Hat Rack, Durem Depot, and H.R. Wesley (in Durem) are the six stores currently in Gaia.
To get to Gambino, go to the map and click on the orange arrow on the top. To get to Durem, go to the map and click on the orange arrow on the left to get to Barton West. Then, click the left orange arrow once again.

Q. What's "sellback?"
A. "Sellback" is the GEN term for what the store will give in exchange for selling an item there.

Q. Why can't I sell X item to the store?
A. Any item with a sellback of 0 gold cannot be sold to the store. Also, your browser may have a bug where the inventory is covered up while in the store. You may need a different browser.

Q. Commons? Rares? Uncommons? What's the difference?
A. A common is a store-purchased item. A rare is found inside a giftbox; an uncommon is found inside a trunk. Calling anything but a rare a rare is misleading and confusing in the Exchange.

Q. What are the different equips/layers?
A. The known equips or layers are head, eyes, ears, face, mouth, neck, none (which I refer to as shoulders), upper body, upper garment, none (which I refer to as back), hands, right hand, left hand, none (which I refer to as waist), lower garment, lower body, behind, legs, none (which I call lower leg), feet, useable item, and none (which I refer to as a unusable item). Only one item can be placed in each equip slot at a time, and useable/nonusable items cannot be equipped.

Q. Will event/donation items be re-released?
A. The admins have stated that donation and event items will never be re-released. However, two rose corsages were raffled off at the Fanime convention in 2004.

Q. How/when/where were rose corsages/black bow ties given out? What/when was the 1st Annual Gaia Formal Ball?
A. The rose corsages and black bow ties were given out in Gaia's first pink giftboxes on March 7-8, 2003. Anyone on the site during the event could easily find one. The event was user-organized, but free to attend: the First Annual Gaia Formal Ball. It was Gaia's first big user-organized event, and the thread size (186 pages) was considered very big, especially for a no-spamming topic, back when Gaia was not even a month old. Misao organized the event, but she never asked for any support from the admins beyond stickying the thread.

Q. How were the Easter Eggs found?
A. The Easter Eggs appeared on the screen like a giftbox soon after a user logged on during Easter. If the user did not like the item inside, then s/he could get another chance at finding an Easter Egg.

Q. What was the Trick-or-Treating on Halloween?
A. Every 20 minutes passed or 15 posts made on Gaia (whichever was the soonest), any user dressed in at least one Halloween costume could pick one of two candies from one of the three stores. After three candies had been collected, a visit to the inventory/profile page would result in a visit from Jack. Depending on the three candies picked, Jack would leave behind a certain grab bag. Here are the combinations, based on a guide made by Valen's Apprentice with the help of others:
Grab Bag 1 = Raspberry Candy + Blueberry Candy + Lemon Candy = Jacked-Up Shirt
Grab Bag 2 = Lime Candy + Lemon Candy + Raspberry Candy = Jacked-Up Shoes
Grab Bag 3 = Lemon Candy + Blueberry Candy + Grape Candy = Jacked-Up Pants
Grab Bag 4 = Lime Candy + Lemon Candy + Grape Candy = Jacked-Up Gloves
Grab Bag 5 = Cherry Candy + Blueberry Candy + Raspberry Candy = Jack's Anger
Grab Bag 6 = Cherry Candy + Raspberry Candy + Lime Candy = Jack's Despair
Grab Bag 7 = Cherry Candy + Grape Candy + Blueberry Candy = Pumpkin Stump
Grab Bag 8 = Cherry Candy + Grape Candy + Lime Candy = Kandy Korn Hat

Q. How were Jolly Hats/Santa's Gifts found?
A. After logging in on the 25th of December, most (but not all) users found Santa's Gift in their inventory. There was no searching involved.

Q. What were the Barton Charities?
A. The Barton Charities (which currently does not accept donations) were like a game of chance. A donation of a giftwrapped store item worth 500 gold or more received a random item in return. Most often, the item was a Christmas Charity Gift.

Q. How were the First Anniversary Gaia Ball items given out?
A. To obtain the Paper Part Hat and Noise Maka, one simply needed to enter Gambino's Mansion. Gino, Gambino's son, would appear at the top of the screen with a greeting, and then one could find both party favors in one's inventory. For the Gaia shirts, a user would randomly run into Ian (who gave out the S Gaia Shirt), Sasha (who gave out the M Gaia Shirt), or Ruby (who gave out the XL Gaia Shirt) while attending the ball. One user would only encounter one of the non-playable characters (NPCs), though there was initially a glitch that allowed for multiple encounters.

Q. How was the Mail from Gambino given out?
A. Users logged on to Gaia on March 3, 2004, and simply found the letter in their inventory. It was only given out to those that went to Gambino's Mansion during the First Anniversary Gaia Ball.

Q. How were the G Pins given out?
A. On March 6 and 7, 2004, a user who visited the Second Annual Gaia Ball forum could randomly run into Gino, who would give them the G Pin.

Q. How were the Easter Baskets given out?
A. On April 4, 2004, a user could find Easter Eggs in the Easter Egg Hunt forum Sometimes, as with a random event, a shocked face would appear; most of the time it did not. Easter Eggs appeared randomly on the page after around ten minutes. On April 5, 2004, the time period was around twenty minutes between eggs. After eight eggs were found, the Easter Bunny would appear and tell the user to go to Barton or Gambino. An Easter Basket would be hidden on the map. Once clicked, it went into the user's inventory.
