Should I sell santa?

[sparky697]

Okay so...santas are like 23.7m atm. for the past year i think...they've gone no higher than 25m (that i can recall). should i just sell santa now? do you guys think it will go any higher? fill me in i dont know anything about the market.

it will always go higher becasue you can no longer get them from the christmnas event.. you can only get them from other players. Keep it and wait 3-5 months and if it doesnt rise in price sell it.

Agreed to the above person.

 

 

 

There is less and less every year.

 

 

 

It's like a stock... eventually it WILL go up (ignoring that the corporation could crash).

Sell Santa?! :shock:

 

 

 

But seriously, I think you should sell it.

Santas are sweet and rare, but personally id rather have the cash or a h'ween mask. But if u wait a few months like someone had recalled ~ ud have a good chance of getting maybe an extra m or 2. \ Theres no damage in waiting! :thumbsup:

Thanks for the link, it was a great read.

 

 

 

In regard to "should I sell my santa hat right now?" - That's a really tough question to answer. We have been told that the exchange update is coming soon, so given that, how will rare prices be affected?

 

 

 

It is hard to say what will happen immediately after the update, but I am guessing that *eventually* the exchange will lead to an increase in rare prices. I think that the exchange will put more money into the hands of players and, as a result, the demand for rares will increase (and with that the price).

 

 

 

That said, if people decide that they want cash in order to buy stuff when the exchange is released, they may sell their rares en mass (leading to a drop in price).

 

 

 

In summary, maybe rare prices will drop when the exchange is released, but over time will go back up.

You should sell it on christmas day this year ore the next one. Prices goes up a lot on the day of Christmas.

Keep it, trust me I kept buying and then selling back, then buying back again; only thing happened was that I lost a lot of money...

[pinguimmaiden]

I think you could sell me 10M :D

August 2006, a santa hat was worth only 17.5-18m. November 2007, it's now at almost 24m. 6m price increase in a little more than a year :

Keep it

i cant find it on the runescape page...i dont konw where it's at

It really depends on what you are going to do with it.

 

Are you merchant?

 

IF so, you said that the highest it has gone is 25m and right now is about 23.5m. Even if that rise takes only 1 month you could do much better as a merchant. In a months time with 20m+ you could possible gain 25-50% more cash, which 5m-10m, much better than the 1.5m you could be getting.

 

Of course you gotta add in the time, which i am not sure how much you have as well as the unpredictable nature of rares.

 

If you are going to do nothing with the money you just got, then i suggest you just keep it until it reaches a value that you satisfied with.

 

If your selling it to gain levels it depends on one thing.

 

Would you rather have a santa or a 99 in a certain skill?

 

If you would rather have a santa, keep it

 

but if your desire for that certain 99 is greater than your love for your santa, sell it.
