dynastyfan0 Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 The Discussion is: Do you think it is a good idea to buy one? Does this usually happen? What do you think they will rise to? Ok I recently bought a blue mask a week before halloween for 26.7 million Then I sold on halloween: Then two days after halloween I bought it back: Do you think I made a bad decision to buy it back? I know selling it saved me 2.5m because I got that in cash in the bank, but the mask is now worth 2.5m less, so I broke even instead of lossing 2.5m. Does this usually happen? How long will it be till they rise? Thoughts? 2181st to 99 Runecrafting on 7/28/2009 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icecube Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Do you think it is a good idea to buy one? If you're going to hold onto it for a long time, then yes. If you're hoping for quick money, it's not too great, unless you're merchanting. Does this usually happen? Yes it's happened before. People try to predict how prices will be before, during and after Halloween and all these predictions affect how it turns out because everyone sells or keeps onto, etc. What do you think they will rise to? Hard to say. I don't see any major price changes unless new rares are introduced or something drastic happens to the economy. They probably will return to normal price after a week or two.

dynastyfan0 Posted November 4, 2007 Author Share Posted November 4, 2007 I hope that they rise back to like 26-27m so I can actually make 1m. All I did was minimize my loses to 0 instead of losing 2.5m. the mask is still worth less, so techniqully, I didn't make any money. 2181st to 99 Runecrafting on 7/28/2009 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mugged99 Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 rares price will always rise, i remember when blue phats were 100m. The holiday based ones fluctuate during the year, and peak during the holiday..ex. santa during christmas, they always do. nice profit..i think you shouldve kept your santa though, cuz christmas is coming up! your questions confused me, so im not going to try to answer them lol \ good luck Help Tip.it create a new RANGED MAX HIT CALCULATOR ~ crossbows, darts!

BloodArgon Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Bought green for 21M before hween, went up about 2M, but then spiraled down to 19.7 (as of today, Nov 04) So, still waiting to either make some money, or break even. Iv heard so many stories about panic-ing and selling low, then them shooting up.

Pan_Nx Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 You made a pretty good profit, nice job! And yeah i think around the holidays the rares go up a tad, but not much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superson Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Think of your mask as a mask, nto as money. You had say a mask and 10m before, now you have a mask and 12.5m. So you did make money!

berserking1 Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 it all depends on what new updates do to the economy in the case of the god war dungeon, those who got lucky earned millions and millions from the drops they sold. these people then had millions and millions to spend, and decided a nice party hat would be great. all of sudden p hats shot thru the roof rising 30m almost. in another case, the introduction of construction and several months later skill capes caused money to be drained from the game and players to spend money on skills rather than fancy items. rares took a hit and dropped because of this. in theory your rare will rise over time, although jagex has the power to raise or lower it based on what they release into the game. If you want to have a rare and it pleases you, then you should keep it. If you just want more money out of it, it can take time and i suggest spending your money in a different way.

dynastyfan0 Posted November 4, 2007 Author Share Posted November 4, 2007 I can't really ignore the prices because only 6m in that mask is mine. the rest is from friends that quit. i promised them i would give them their stuff back if they returned. im not even ranked on that account :XD: 2181st to 99 Runecrafting on 7/28/2009 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfhunterXZ Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 I could care less about rares. And I could definetely care less about people who constantly write threads about rares. Sorry, no offense. Rare prices go up and down dependent on Supply and Demand, oh no, not the Supply and Demand talk! Well, sorry, it's true. I'll spare everyone the horror of explaining it all though, so don't worry about it. But that is what effects the prices the most, as well as merchants, and other various things like inflation and whatnot. But if you really are wanting to make money from the rare you have, keep it and keep it for awhile, not just a few days, or a month. I'm talking 1+ years. mmk?

hybrid2hell Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Do you think it is a good idea to buy one? Yes, thats what im currently trying to do Does this usually happen? I believe so What do you think they will rise to? It depends on how long you keep it. The longer the better :) I engineered this thread with precise variables that I know would cause lul-worthy flames. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icecube Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 what :| I believe he means the theory that prices of rares always rises overall is only proved by their price change from year to year. But currently the price of rares has dropped recently. :?: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InkofDeath Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 You probably made the right move up to buying the blue mask back. You should have kept that santa till Christmas. A lot of people just buy it for the holidays and sell it back later, which is known by most people who take advantage of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke_Freedom Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Does this usually happen? Historically speaking there isn't much to say about that, but in general, halloween masks haven't been influenced much by halloween comming up or being over. What do you think they will rise to? Without a time horizon they can go to anything. Even with, it is pretty much impossible to predict. Do you think I made a bad decision to buy it back? Perhaps. You may have been better off speculating in santa's in anticipation of a possible overexaggerate christmas rise again. But other then that - a fall back in the prices of masks after halloween is not so normal so perhaps they'll rise back up soon enough too. Not that I am in touch with the market enough to make any statements on that. On the long-term it doesn't differ much at all. The value of my bank at its height. Estimated value at the peak of the rares market: 250 billion+.Most likely the largest trade in RuneScape ever. Estimated value at the peak of the rares market: 70 billion+.

Dragons_Might Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Like said before, panicing isnt worth it because there's always a chance of a huge [bleep]e. I have a mask set that I've lost a good amount on, but waiting some time is worth it. the trick is to balance all of these methods to get 99 and either play real life or train another skill while farming. 635th to 99 Farming 12/16/07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
