    I worked to save under 500,000 gold in the bank.
    I've saved like crazy to be able to afford a medium-sized house. I'll be able to afford one in about four days. :p

    I would have had the money already, but I *had* to buy the paint horse and the bay dun horse that are available at the stables. ;)

    I saved up the IRL money to buy the crowns for housing. However my Mother wanted a smartphone I brought her a smart phone. I also brought me a X-56 R4CFPJE.jpg since my X-55 died. Money completely well spent My DC manor will be here when I buy it with crowns next month.

    My savings is under 1 million for Homestead.
    I bought every single rakeipa I could find on the guild traders.

    But why?

    To corner the market and make money of course.

    You know, cornering the market, the one thing the defenders of this broken trade system tell us can't happen in ESO and only ever happens in games with an AH. Yeah... ...right.

    All The Best

    Why do you believe flame glyphs will become popular?

    You'd have to ask the guy that bought them all his reason for thinking that cornering such a market was worthwhile.

    Rakeipa is used a lot in many homestead crafting recipes. Prices have already been rising. Many players have been listing them for 100-250 gold per rakeipa.

    Gonna be buying all 3 manors for 11.35mil, mostly for the Count title.

    Was at like 8mil when the prices were announced, so frantically farmed for weeks and finally made it a few days ago. Running vTrials is so easy compared to intense farming :D

    Saved? If you saved money for this patch, you are doing it wrong.

    I have invested about 1 million in different items. Rakeipa, Style Mats, Purple Tempers/Resins etc. etc. I am expecting to double or triple my investment. Purple upgrade mats are already up 50% BEFORE launch.

    Saved up 800k gold to buy and furnish the medium orc house. The PTS was a good trial to know what to get and where I have to buy it; so many furniture vendors all over Tamriel.

    I don't care about Homestead.
    I care about homestead in that the cost of the island I fell in love with is more than I can justify spending on an in game accessory, so I've bought fallout 4 and am taking a semi-break from eso.

    I've prepared my characters to go into low maintenance crafting mode, so I can do crafting writs, get some master writs and hopefully have enough gold to buy a huge house when morrowind is released.

    P.s. I have enough gold for a large house, and enough RL cash for a crown manor, but for some reason I have decided to protest homestead, even though I know it won't change anything.

    I'm nearly alongside you on that. I don't know if the crowns I have saved are going for the house, but in calculating all the achievement items I want to buy, plus the actual gold cost of the houses, it only came to a little under 900,000 gold. So I saved more than that, just in case. Anyway I don't want to be at zero when I'm done buying it up.

    Haha. That's cute. gl with that.

    They will surely make a little money on it considering Rakeipa were so cheap before and now they will be in demand, but that's just normal flipping. Buying out some kiosks doesn't mean they have cornered the market, because they haven't limited supply. Anyone with a craft bag probably has about a bajillion of them. They weren't worth selling before, so they accumulated.

    The amount of money they make will be limited. Honestly, they would have been better off using their time to pick flowers. Speculation is a risky business that can cut both ways.

    Edit: just realized you weren't the same person that is trying to flip the runes. Sorry. :/

    I don't care about Homestead.
    I have more than enough gold :)
    But I have no need of cosmetic only content, such as Homestead.
    As previously mentioned, after players will waste their gold on homes, furnitures etc, they will get bored and realize what a mistake they did.
    I suggest to buy the small home first and see if it suits you before jumping in and buying all homes at once.
    It gets really boring after finishing the home(PTS experience).

    Homestead is a gold sink, maybe a very nice, clever and long grind but still a gold sink.
    Even whales with hundreds of millions of gold agree that Homestead is a gold sink with no actual use(except RP ofc).
    The market prices will drop so low after Homestead since most players will cast their gold into the void.
    I'm sure Sithis will be pleased >:)

    But that's just me, enjoy Homestead :)

    I may have enough for all the manors, but all I want is the Stros Large home. I love the lay out and design. Plus Stros is my place to hang out since the beginning. Not a lot there for higher players, but still feels like home to me.
