geesch Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 ok, well i bought a green mask for 20.5 a few weeks before halloween thinking the price should go up. it should have and i have been told it usually does. Now why the hell are they selling for 19.2, 2 days before halloween? manipulators? anyways, will they go up quickly after halloween? i dont like losing 1.3m for nothing. does anyone have a tip for anything regarding rares? i just am confused as ever about this. supply and demand should not be like this. when supply is down, price is up. the amount of masks couldnt have increased, so why would it drop, and by so much...?

davidium Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 cause you arent the only one who has the same idea duh. so everyone bought it before halloween and sold it together during halloween causing the supply to increase and price to drop. maxed out melee on 10/10/08, current goal: 94/99 cookinglife may be unfair, but why can't it be unfair in my favor?my fake plant died because i forgot to pretend to water it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yohbilleh Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 At least you have a rare.. They will inflate even more If something drops, it comes flying back up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sk8_tolivv Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Don't depend on rares to make you money, there are way too unstable tbh. They are always going up and down, up and down. Everyone is always like "buy them before this (day) because there going to shot up in price!" but it rarely happens. The only way your going to make money from them is over time or if there is some significant event in RuneScape that causes the prices to go up. Also it has to do something with what David said, tons of people think that the price will rise just because of the time of year and really, it doesn't matter. Who says to them self "Oh its Halloween so I have to get a Green/Red/Blue Mask" or "Its Christmas so I want a Santa now" People buy rares usually because they like how they look or it makes them feel rich, not because of the Holiday.

no_way2go Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 The fact that other people are selling it at 19.2M now doesn't mean you have to sell it at that price now. Just let it sit in your bank untill prices go up again due to a higher demand : - Back to casual f2p scaping due to limited time (university and girlfriend ) - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nul_Oblivion Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Lesson Learned: Don't play the rare market! Especially during the holiday seasons when they're the most unpredictable. That's just a no-no. Retired Member Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerDally Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 they usually go up the day before halloween or on halloween. the best thing you can do is sit and wait...just see what happens, after all you are right there aren't anymore coming in so they can only get rarer :thumbsup: and to the person up above: Yes, some people acually do buy rares just because of the season, have friends that do it and then sell to continue skilling ~ I farm, there for you eat ~ Got food?

Generally speaking yes, and then fall soon after the holiday is over. Lesson learned? Buy you rares a year in advance :P ~ I farm, there for you eat ~ Got food?

geesch Posted October 30, 2007 Author Share Posted October 30, 2007 this was my first time buying a rare with the idea of making money, just to the person who thought i made money like this :P also, i talked to a lot of people and they all said its a good investment for the season, and i agreed with it myself. my lesson has been learned; never sell rares on a holiday, only buy them. oh well, first time experimenting with it, and at least i got knowledge out of it. thanks for the ideas :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
