Yeah. I have just returned to Rs from around 4 years of break. And I was just thinking what would be the best investment to buy right now. The one that would make most money in some time.

There is only one type of item which will have an increased price over item (mostly) which are discontinued items.

 

 

 

Low cost rares (santa, mask etc..): Cost less and smaller price increases but as you can buy more it mostly adds up.

 

 

 

High cost rares (party hats, cracker etc..): Cost more but price increases can be more often and much larger so usually prefered.

I've been watching the prices of santas since I bought one on 06/15/06. I quit playing for quite some time, but have started to update again.

 

 

 

06/15/06 : 11.1 mil (prices dipped due to addition of construction skill)

 

08/15/06 : 20.0 mil

 

08/24/06 : 22.5 mil

 

08/28/06 : 25.6 mil (santas skyrocket on news of cursed_you ban)

 

08/30/06 : 26 mil (it'll be interesting to see if we see a slight dip as the cursed_you news gets old)

 

08/31/06 : 25 mil (suprise, suprise)

 

09/05/06 : 25.75 mil

 

09/07/06 : 25.5 mil

 

09/12/06 : 25.4 mil

 

09/15/06 : 25.4 mil

 

09/20/06 : 25.25 mil

 

09/22/06 : 25.5 mil

 

09/26/06 : 30 mil! (what happened?!?)

 

10/02/06 : 27.5 mil

 

10/12/06 : 25.8 mil (I'm guessing they will start going back up shortly)

 

10/23/06 : 26.3 mil (I guess I was wrong.. :))

 

11/13/06 : 22 mil (I thought rares would take a hit when the lvl 99 capes came out. It didn't happen immediately, but I'd guess this is the delayed reaction to the release)

 

 

 

After a long layoff, I've decided to start updating this section again. Over the past several months, I've seen santas peak at 25 mil. When the new shop update came into play, santas took a bit of a hit resulting in current prices of:

 

 

 

10/11/07 : 22.8 mil

 

10/18/07 : 22.8 mil

prolly a rare becuz as the rs population grows the more rare it bcomes and more value it has

Woah Santas Cost that much now?! I should have bought one when I left. I would be so rich now.

 

 

 

I quess there aren't any new rare items? Theyre all non-tradeable?

phat owns all.

From 2003 on all holiday items are untradable.

 

 

 

The lowest rare in the pimkins/easter egg at 8M ish but noone buys them.

 

 

 

I'd suggest runecrafting natures for money.
