Rags 2 Riches
This is a chance for you marketeers to put your money where your mouth is, and, battle it out to earn the most TC! If you're the best, surely you can go from Rags to Riches, right?
Each participant will be given an account with 20,000 QI (so you can acquire any item you need), and you will use this account to facilitate your marketing. A special character will be applied to the beginning of the username to restrict the account from being used in-game. Once the event has come to an end, the account will be permanently banned. You will be given 5k to start marketing with (provided by you as an entry fee). From there, you will receive a PM with your R2R account information. This account will be used to buy and sell items in order to gain TC. At the end of the event, your placement will be based solely on HOW MUCH TC YOU HAVE ON YOUR R2R ACCOUNT. Items will not be taken into consideration, so make sure to sell all your things!
To compete in this event, post in this thread indicating that you have sent 5,000 TC to Marketeers
Signups start July 10th and end July 15th.
1. You may not acquire TC from any source except from selling items, this includes asking people for substantial discounts due to the event.
2. You are not allowed to market using textures (art) due to the fact that they're non-verifiable and will be difficult to keep track of.
3. Any transactions made should be completed through either: a) SafeTrade, or, b) through the market. (You are not allowed to send TC directly, or, receive an item directly to or from a user). (Except for sending Lucci items for achievements)
4. If you receive 3 infractions on your R2R account, you will be disqualified from the event, and, any TC and items accumulated will be confiscated.
5. You are not allowed to use PayPal or any other form of real-life money transfers in order to gain items or TC.
6. Do not post anywhere other than the Items and Flame Particle Boards, it will be deleted and you will receive an infraction.
7. Only one entry per person. Users who attempt to enter the event on multiple accounts will be disqualified and subject to further punishment if deemed appropriate.
*Please note: any users found transferring items to or from their event account for any reason other than legitimate marketing within the confinements of the event rules will face immediate disqualification and an account ban on their main account.

We are monitoring everyone's TC balance and where the items come from that are on their accounts. We have noticed some "strange" transactions that we cannot confirm or deny are a bit suspicious. We'd like to amend that any sale must be finalized through the forums! We would like to be able to track any and every transaction from the inception of the deal to the deal being completed. You may use discord to chat, but the final decision must be in a market thread. Failure to follow this will result in that transaction being null and void, resulting in a infraction on your R2R account. Thanks for understanding and happy marketing!

There are three types of auctions that Market Squids will host during this event. Some will be normal auctions, and some... a little different. These auctions will be for Rags2Riches accounts only. Here are the different auctions you may see:
Regular Auctions - Normal auctions with normal items,
Silent Auctions - A normal auction except all of the bids will be done via private message to the account AuctionHouse, but please be aware that people are allowed to say what they bid on the thread(and it may not be true)!
Blind Auction - Participants will not know what item is being auctioned, only a starting price. However, you will get a little hint of what the item might be!
The daily trades are trade offers that any R2R player can redeem once per day. Every day there will be a different offer, so if you find one you like, send any MS member a PM to let them know you are redeeming your daily trade, and send them your half of the offer!
Todays Daily Trade!
Send: Velvet Force - Receive: Anime Bow
1st Place Custom Item!
THE EVENT WILL END ON AUGUST 7TH AT 2359 +0 GMT
