I like the items, but the thing that bothers me is that they say the 'fish' are a bonus. A bonus item implies that if you buy this you get this for free does it not? So when both of the actual items together cost $7.00 then why does the bundle cost $9.99

Made me wonder too. They may be cheap for being mini monster fish, but they are no bonus. Usually their bundles are cheaper than the actual items all together, PLUS the bonus item inside for free neutral

299 Cash used to be the price of a small EI. I know Gaia is hard up, but since the manufacturing cost of pixelated items is zero, wouldn't you want to make them as cheap as possible to sell as many as possible? For every item they sell these days, there are 5 or 6 users turning their noses up at the prices and spending their disposable income on other things.
And who can blame them? I'd never pay this site's ridiculous Cash Shop prices, no matter how beautiful an item was; I could buy an entire GAME for three bucks if I knew where to look.

Lady Psycho Sexy 299 Cash used to be the price of a small EI.

For every item they sell these days, there are 5 or 6 users turning their noses up at the prices and spending their disposable income on other things.
And who can blame them? I'd never pay this site's ridiculous Cash Shop prices, no matter how beautiful an item was; I could buy an entire GAME for three bucks if I knew where to look. I think 9.99$ is outlandish, i could get a months subscription to a few good online games for that price and have much more fun, but at the same time i am tempted i want my avi too look nice, i don't really know why but i just do. As of late it seems like the only way to make gold is to buy cash cards, Of course i could vend or booty grab, but that isn't gonna compare to anyone who can afford to spend 100 bucks a month on gaia cash. I also want more 499 ei's and possible more 299 ei's, but you know of the current ei random schedule, i don't even want to remotely spend my money on Gaia cash. I Hope that doesn't come out too ranty, when i rant i get incomprehensible

Bundle pricing...its a good marketing strategy, except that when you use it:
1) you either DON'T sell the bundle items separately, so nobody knows how much they cost, or
2) you actually make the bundle CHEAPER than the sum of its parts.
Clearly, someone dropped the ball on both counts here. That, or they REALLY believe that we the users are THAT stupid.
