Ok on 6/17/2014 I sold a "Petrified Log" for 85,500 gil and a "Cashmere Fleece" for 79,800 gil which equals 165,300 gil. However my retainer only received 113,000 gil. That's 52,300 gil in taxes, very unlikely. If this happened to me I'm sure it is happening to others. Both items sold at midnight roughly and I was sleeping in real life, so it's not possible that I bought something and didn't realize I spent the gil.

Playing with my money is like playing with my emotions....

PS. I know taxes very depending on where you buy from city wise however that's half my profit in taxes, I don't think so.
