Is the economy hurting Arte? Look at this! :P

So today when I was hunting for my gems, I decided to try and find the Webkinz Diamond by searching the far left mine. I'm saving up for the colossal movie screen, and I thought if I found it, I would sell it for the large sum that Arte usually offers. I was excited when I actually found it, and was anticipating the large price tag that Arte might put on it. Imagine my shock when I see a price tag of $50!!!!!!! That's the going rate for a Booger Nugget! So I kept the Webkinz Diamond...I'll see if Arte's brother Doug wants to give me more for it!

This really was your unlucky day, or else Arte wants you to keep the W Diamond and not sell it. Although Arte will give you a maximum of 1000 KC for the W Diamond when it is the Gem of the Day (I'm not sure, but I think he'll often give you less), the usual sale price is 50 to 500 KC. Just because you're sometimes lucky enough to hit the jackpot, doesn't guarantee that it will happen every time!

Here's the "going rate" price list:

Oh man Bindidog! I found the gem one day, & Arte actuall offered me $1000...it happened to be the"gem of the day" though....that really stinks-only $50kc??? Yes,-I would have kept it too I kept the W diamond when I was offered the $1000 kc myself....I NEVER sell any of my gems back to Arte anyhow...hes a rip-off to say the least!! Yes-better luck w/Doug

BTW-NO LUCK in the clips lately-just found 1 new zum

Thanks Webberlilly! I've hunted and found the Wekinz Diamond many times, and the least I've ever recieved was $400. So that's why I was so surprised to get $50!
