dragostae's home sweet home...gaia style
The pros and cons of running a shop on Gaia.
Pros

The potential to make money is out there, especially if you have a great service to offer or are especially talented in art.

Can be a great outlet.

Some people are really sweet and easy to work with.

Cons

Unfortunately, idiots do exist. I had to tell one particular person this:

Dragostae
If you'd read the thread in its entirety, it tells you everything in detail. I cannot spend much more time answering questions over stuff that is clearly posted, as I have events to plan and I still have to make time for sleep.
I don't like being asked at 2:30 in the morning, as I'm heading to bed, where stuff is in my thread. It's not that hard to find it. I don't spoonfeed people. If you don't want to look for it, I'm not going to help you.

Same person also tried (unsuccessfully) to get me to run their event by paying as little as they could, in this case, 600 g. That's total.

ok well................
This is what you put on your page!!!!!

A la carte Parties


Have a budget? Don't want to do a pre-packaged party?

A la carte parties are also doable.

Invitations (100g per invitation, sent up to 25 guests. You must provide me with a list of names for the invitations to go to.)

Décor (Up to 3000g, depending on how involved the artwork is. Want a pretty thread? This is where you state what you want.)

Party Favours (600g per guest - these may be actual Gaian items, or like the photo in the thread, a thank you card for attending. PM me for details.)

If you also notice, under Guild Rental, I've posted the base price. I'm posting the entire A la Carte portion so you can see what I'm talking about.

Mini-events (500g per mini-event - Want to give away an item to one of your guests? We'll do the work for you! Auctions, raffles, and giveaways are one of the things we do well to spice up your party! You must provide the item you wish to give away.)

Photobooth (750g per guest - this is a place where you can get your picture taken as a keepsake of the event. I will work with you to get your specifics.)

Guild Rental (1000g in addition to a package - must be ordered as part of a package) Want a place for just you and your friends? Don't want anyone crashing your party? Rent out our guild for your special day!

The base price is the Hoopla! party at 1500g.


I think you may have misunderstood. Keep in mind that I've posted things as such so that my employees and I get paid for hosting events, and to essentially gyp us out of that is not something I wish to happen.


Why is it that I seem to get stalked by crazy people who refuse to read? Or have to be about twelve? What I love is how they've highlighted my words just to skew it to their liking. I'm sorry, but if you can't read, or you refuse to read directions/instructions, things just become more difficult. Ugh.
