Rip-Off

So I found a Yum Zum Sparkle today. And Arte goes Hm, you've found a good gem, so I guess I can offer you something special for it (or something to that effect). And then he proceeds to offer me...15 kinzcash! I mean that is the level 2 White gem! How rude! I guess now I'll have 7 of them...

Yes, Arte is not very consistant. he says he will dig deep and comes up with 20 kc, then on a different gem he says he gets a lot of them but he guesses he can offer something and offers
125 kc. I've gotten a lot of slag lately and the rare gems seem to be impossible. I have 3 accounts and one account has 5 Webkinz diamond but none on the other accounts and for months have not gotten a green, yellow, or blue rare. One account still hasn't gotten a crown, but each account has a finished room and the pets don't like that room because it just isn't comfortable with all that color. They do like the pieces in the garden and spend a lot of time out there. On a different subject, all I get on the deluxe wheel is the golden path and lavender hat with a food tossed in once in a while. Is that tapestry really available????

I see where you're coming from. He tried to offer me 250 when the GOTD was the Webkinz Diamond, and I had found it! xD

LOL I was just going to start a thread because I just got the Webkinz diamond and Arte only offered me 50 KC for it!

He offered me 45 for a Webkinz diamond!!!!! I said "No way Jose" I am SO keeping it.

WOW - the recession has even hit Arte and his offers for the gems! He hasn't seemed to reduce his prices in the Curio Shop, tho - LOL.

I love it! It does seem about right. I guess not even WW characters are safe in today economy

I wonder if some servers are luckier than others. I have one account where I always get slap or stinky prices. And on another account I have trouble getting the common gems and get mostly rare. Go figure!

I love old Arte, but he may be showing early signs of dementia. Today he gave me one of his "Whoa, not another one..." schpiels, setting me up for a tiny offer... but he offers 468KC for the Red Ruby Heart. I've noticed that several times lately, his words not matching his offers. Go figure!

[Smog]

I've always been annoyed with that. What I would give for a real gem!
