Give him alot of money, and get cheap stuff later.

Ah thank you

Since you gave him money, there are both short term and long term benefits to to his wares. Until Mi'ihen Highroad, his prices will be expensive/cheap in proportion to the amount of money you give him. After that, his prices will drop so he can help supply the people at Mi'ihen, where he sells unique weapons, including a very valuable TKO for Wakka which bears the Stone-Attack customized for Wakka. After that, his prices will drop again, when you find him in Guadosalam, where he sells Thunder-Ward/Proof equipment cheaper than the vendors at Guadosalam. After this, when you find his brother at Mt. Gagazet, Wantz sells restorative items, and some semi-useful equipment. After the battle with Sin, O'aka will have been arrested, and you find him at the Movie Theatre in Luca. Speak to him, and Wantz will be selling Tetra equipment in the Thunder Plains entrance of Macalania.
Investment for restorative items, these costs change for each area you find him (so his prices will be different in Mushroom Rock, than as if you found him in Mi'ihen.)
1-500gil, 2.0x cost of vendors
501-1000, 1.7x
1001-9999, 1.5x
10k+, .9x
The prices listed here will get you the MINIMUM prices as can be allowed at a time, and these numbers are only affected by lending money. There is another requirement, which reduces his prices based on items purchased/money lent. This number is something like 25,656 gil.
His prices are cheaper only if you buy alot of stuff from him, also selling your wares to him while he is selling cheaper items will result in your items having a lower resale value, but NOT a higher resale value if you sell items to him while having higher prices than normal vendors. This means "buy from O'aka, but never sell to".
The Tetra equipment at the end of the game has 4 customizable slots, for all 7 characters' weapons and armor, unlike what Rin sells, which has either +10% magic/strength, but the same name. Tetra equipment is also dropped from Creations at the Monster Arena.
Since you are poor, all you REALLY need to do is stop buying ANY restorative items from ANYONE. Investing 500 to O'aka is enough until you get more money. Giving him money only HELPS the 10k requirement, but its only use is to give him money if he has nothing worth selling. You can lend him money on the two boats, and one last time on the Mi'ihen Oldroad. After this, buying items is the only way to help his prices.
gives 1001 gil for 50% discount for you

i think it 10001 not 1001. and i think it makes his prives 0.7 usual price and not 0.5 but im not too sure about my last statement

lol oaka seems like a bit of a waste then...right? or will the investment be worth it?
He sells the best items in the game. Invest. Save. Buy.
Just like Geico.
0-100 gil = 2.0x normal cost
101-1,000 gil = 1.5x normal cost
1,001-10,000 gil = 1.2x normal cost
10,001+ gil = 0.7x normal cost
He's worth it if you pay him 10,001+ very early on. The weapons he sells are very useful e.g. Stunning Steel, Avenger.

Stunning Steel, Avenger, TKO with stonetouch...
And thanks for the correction on the vendor donations.
He sells better items for cheaper, especially when in Guadosalam. The prices there are based on O'aka's current money given, so they will always be higher than his, unless you did not invest. He also sells Tetra Equipment for all seven characters at the end of the game, 100k each, but worth every penny, if you are one of those crazy OCDs who do everything, and find the PERFECT armor set-ups, like me.lol oaka seems like a bit of a waste then...right? or will the investment be worth it?
They look something like this...

Yeah, unless you level up like crazy, the only way I've found to knock the Chocobo Eater off the cliff is with the Stunning Steel. And for this reason alone O'aka is worth the investment.
I beat him without leveling my characters, and only with Sensor equipped equipment. It's not hard, summon Valefor/Ifrit to overdrive, knock it over, call the Aeon back, and use Fire from Lulu, and Auron. It should knock it back, once you have completed the attack run. But in this way, it requires a bit if luck.Originally Posted by SeeDRankLou
And by my OCD comment, I meant leveling up until you get 255 everywhere... even Luck.
Costco is better, even if it DOESN'T sell insurance. Granted, one day, Costco will rule the world, and everyone will be happy. I've yet to meet a person who hates Costco.He sells the best items in the game. Invest. Save. Buy.
Just like Geico.
Beating Chocobo Eater is easy enough. Beating Chocobo Eater via knocking it off the cliff is a whole different story, which is what I was referring to. The closer it gets to it's side of the cliff, the faster its turn comes. And if you knock it right to the edge, it's turn just magically happens, making it almost impossible to get the final push in unless you have the Haste/Slow combo. Even with this I end up having to heal it so that I don't kill it before knocking it off, but at least it becomes doable. And unless you semi-insanely level up at that point, the only way to have Slow is through the Stunning Steel that O'aka sells.
Im wondering, whats the difference between knocking the chocobo eater off and killing him?
I think O'aka voice is very annoying
