40% sale on gems - great

Box items available for gems - not so great. Once again I feel that my special items are worthless.

I wasted 275 gems a few days ago opening boxes just to get useless items. Of only I'd known..........I'm melting inside. I want the Mediterranean house! The butterfly house! No, the lotus garden....why.....why iTunes why....?????

Whatba ripoff! The "impala" is selling for 40 something gems. It's in the box for 24, a fourth place prize I think. I got it and don't want animals on my farm, and was annoyed, so I sold it. For all of 300 coins.

The cheetah cub is 40 gems too, got it in a box, second place. I won't sell it though, since it seems to be a hot commodity.

I do thank TL however, because they have me the items I'd been longing after since forever. I'm hooked. So much so, that with itunes not working I nearly had a heart attack, but instead of going through with it, I switched my accounts over to android. Then after purchasing the pond, and two homes, thus becoming a happy camper, I went back over to iPad.

And I fiinnnnaaalllllyyyy have my barista counter. YES, the dork wins. Now all I need is the 1000 gems and ill be complete.

Thanks, teamlava, for the nice offers on this Black Friday !
I just miss an offer for the wonderful dogs St.Bernard and shepard. I started in farm story too late to get them regulary. And last year at Black Friday I did not get the offer. So I hoped the whole year long, this would be the day of the day.
Please offer these dogs. We don?t need dogs in clothes or with other decorations. Pure St. Bernhard is the best.
Greetings from my little gnomeland to all farm story friends!

I purchased some gems and get some of the items I hadn't had, I'm pretty happy that TL did this for us. I finally got the Sheriff's place, as tried that box a few times trying to get it, and now I finally have it!

Not a fan of the items...
I might get the fishing pond though. I don't fishing but I like its size proportioning. Buildings look so little next to other items so I love anything that makes the building look bigger in comparison.

I was looking at the fishing pond and sawmill but needed to wait for some crops to finish so I had a place to put them. The fishing pond is no longer available and the sawmill was lowered from 70 to 40 gems.

I understand the sawmill, waterlily pond and royal palace have gone from 70 to 40 gems, but I still have the fishing pond available...

I found the fishing pond. It's 64 gems. I thought is was less this morning,, less than the lily pad. Not sure.

I got the sawmill.

Okay, I knew the fishing pond was less than the lily pond and didn't realize the price of the lily pond dropped. So I guess there was no change to the fishing pond.

Between Fashion/RS/Farm I lost at least 200 gems to this fiasco. Oh well, that is the way TL works. Unethical, definetly, but they'll never refund the difference. *sighs*

Thank you all for reporting this issue. We looked into this issue, and would like you to submit an email to support@teamlava.com to correct this matter. Please note that due to the holiday break, there is limited support. Thank you all for your patience! :)

Thank you for resolving this issue. While TL's business practices initially made this look intentional (and it may be), I can see what might have happened to cause this problem. I bought the items for 40 gems rather than 70, so was not negatively affected by the price change. I am happy to have been able to get 1st place box items for the second place value of 40 gems rather than the 1st place value of 70 gems, and consider this a good Black Friday deal.

The big deal was the sale on Gems and then having the box items OUT of the box for purchase. :)

Those box items are also for a very good amount of gems in comparison to everything else :p :

Sorry about the inconsistent prices everyone! Some of the sale prices were not updated correctly when they were first released on Friday.

If you, your friends, or anyone you know purchased items the first day they were on sale and the game was updated with a lower price, please check out the respective threads for your games.

They are a sale, considering many are first and second place items from the boxes. Or previous LTOs released. I'd spent numerous gems opening the Mediterranean box because I wanted the royal palace! Now it's resting comfortable on my farm. Many other items are now at a steal, since they lowered the prices. But that will all be over in under five minutes. The fairy grotto is a steal at 40 gems.

I'm disappointed that everything cost so much anyway.. I've saved my coins and I have nothing to spend them on.. everything cost gems.. I buy a few gems here and there but not 100$ bucks worth .. I'd like a cute little pond or something but can't afford it..

gaclack
11-25-12, 03:19 PM
I just hope they don't open up any more boxes for Cyber Monday... because then I would get so angry that I got the royal palace and not whatever else they offered, and AUGGHHH.

Unless of course the gem costs are even smaller and account for 2nd prizes.
