Ranger set falling or raising in price?

[Old_Mage501]

I recently bought a ranger set for two reasons

 

1) I believed it was raising in price

 

2) I am training range

 

 

 

Please tell me if these were falling in price, i heard they were rising

 

But then someone told me they were falling :shock:

 

 

 

Please help me lol

In RS never buy something for training if you plan on making money off it later. They go up and down every day. If you want to look at the prices over the last 2 months, they are going down, but if you look day to do they might go up today, then back down tomorrow.

I don't see any reason for them to go up (overall I mean, not through regular fluctuations).

 

They'll most likely only go down.

Ok, well i heard from a few people that they have gone up over the years, and these are big RSC players and and irl friend who has played for many, many years

Well those price increases were due to numerous factors. One big factor was the introduction of new rewards to treasure trail, meaning the chance of getting a Robin decreased. They increased the price twice (IIRC).

 

 

 

Then there was the stupid price increase when Jagex had an update, and their update said "Hold onto your Robin Hood hats" or something to that degree and people played off that saying that they were to be untradeable. Of course Jagex meant no such thing and it was just a saying. Nevertheless, the price still jumped up.

 

 

 

So unless something like that happens again, I don't foresee any price increases.

Greedy merchants like me don't make the price go up, we just rip you off one person at a time. Whether he decided to sell at a loss or be stubborn and for the same price is his decision 8-)

If there are no new factors added, they will definitely drop. Although, factors are added constantly, as has been stated in previous replies, and the smallest thing can make a portion of the Runescape population hoard them for reasons unknown..

 

 

 

I would suggest that if you want to use them for training, then do just that. Don't expect to make a profit selling them later, although, at times that can be a nice perk. :

I always wanted a robin but never bought(had rangers and died...) even when I could so I have watched their prices over the years I have played. They used to be much lower and have had jumps with the new treasure trail items. I am not buyin yet cause I think they are about to go down from the increase in TT chasers
