#-o Please don't post next time until you know what your saying. Previously white partyhats wouldn't even sell at min they had to be added with 3rd age to sell. So them selling alone without 3rd age and even at mid meens a rise. Kthxbai.

You didn't contribute anything you said partyhats are junk and just restated everything else. You could have offers some insite on prices or even marketing. Sure 3rd age has stats but I can get much better armour for cheaper and easier. Sure the 3rd age mage hat and ammy have the best mage bonus but tell meh have you ever seen anyone maging in them? 3rd age is just for show as are partyhats. So 3rd age is basically the same as a partyhat because noone ever uses it for combat neither do they with parytyhats. So you can't say you buy 3rd age just for it's stats because it'd impractical to risk that much on it's stats. Anyway the people with the 100M+ usually like to spend and invest on something that there will always be rare and there will be no more of them then there already was. Since 3rd age can be brought into the game it won't be rare forever and is not an investment.

Street going up, not GE.

 

 

 

I predicted this about a week ago -- purples getting closer to street and all. Purples and yellows being the lowest and most common, I'm not suprised they were the first to turn. Now that the GE has updated and have shown purples and yellows turning, everyone is starting to buy phats.

 

 

 

Friend sold her white overnight, so they definitely are being bought. And I'm sure they will be going up soon.

Thankfully, got my friend to take out his 3a legs offer early -- amazed he didn't get them, lol.

Started free trade with 1.5m cash. 2 weeks later, have hit max cash 2x.

Lol everybody could have foreseen this,

 

 

 

I really didn't understand all those people trying to downgrade/sell their partyhats, after purple fell beneath 100m.

 

 

 

I just bought my purple slightly to early, I paid 94 mill for it :mrgreen:.

 

and if I hadn't sold al my guthix pages I could have upgraded it by now.

 

 

 

Stupid of me :?

 

 

 

But they won't be stable soon, after a few weeks skyrocketing,

 

they will fall like crazy again.

 

 

 

now like with the animal masks; the ultimate goal is to sell them just in time \' .

And there-in lies my little issue with all this.

 

 

 

I honestly don't have any problem with merchanting via the GE. I just know that threads like this are tempting for many folks with a cash pile around or over 100m to jump in and buy these items. But there is huge potention for LOSS here, not gain, in my opinion.

 

 

 

There are those who drive these prices and there is everyone else who is one step behind them. This is just a word of warning to those aspiring merchanters who aren't in a clan or irc or some other group which buy/sell en-masse. Be careful.

Excellent advice! I'm not in the ph market -- don't have enough money. But I do buy and sell things in the 20m and below range, and knowing that people are out there manipulating prices, I apply one simple rule to stuff that I buy with an eye toward selling -- I never buy anything if I'd be totally bummed if I had to keep it forever. If you want to be a real merchant, you better join a group that has the power to manipulate prices. Otherwise, you're better off buying what you like, selling it if it goes up, and buying again if it goes back down. I can't tell you how many people I see begging me to take items off their hands because they sold everything they had to get it, and now the price is crashing. Don't be that guy!

You have no right to say that.

Great news, though i doubt it will last- as someone clearly and very elaborately explained on the rs official forums a month ago, that because partyhat price range is stuck at 1%, merchants, who are only in the partyhat business for profit(and control atleast half of the market) will soon become tired of the endless waiting for the prices to update and realize that they could make so much more than +1% of their money a day by merchanting items that have a 5% price range.

 

 

 

3a crash? Don't know if this can actually be described as a crash rather than a slight panic and stupidity among some merchants and a general awe of 3a being traded for what just yesterday was considered as junk. At this moment partyhats are very nicely coinciding with 3a as i already had predicted. The 3a price drop has little to do with hats and is mostly because of it being sold with the worst of junk- spectral/arcane/elixir, pvp armor and dfh-s.

With past items that had a higher street value than market value, there were multiple ways to obtain the item if one wanted it badly enough. You had the option to place an offer in the ge and hope that it eventually went through or you could do clues, go to god wars dungeon, kill mithril dragons, etc. until you obtained your desired item.

 

 

 

With partyhats however, there is only one way to obtain one and that is by purchasing it from another player. This combined with the fact that there are no more coming into the game means that if partyhat owners are smart they could in fact hold out for a very long time.

 

 

 

The thing that's been the problem up until this point is people were scared that they wouldn't be able to sell the partyhat later on if they purchased it, but now that there is a live market the demand is going to flourish.

 

 

 

Who wants a super expensive item that is only useful for looks and can't be sold if ever you decide you want to spend some of that money? Very few players.

 

 

 

Who wants a rare partyhat that is rising by millions per day and can be sold in an instant? A lot of players.

Without an indicator of trading volume, those graphs are pretty useless.

 

 

 

It is one of the great flaws of the GE - you can't see how many of something changed hands. There's no way to snapshot demand for any item - coal, uncut gems, party hats, etc.

 

 

 

You guys aren't so much "investing" in rares & virtual commodities as you are gambling on whether they will rise and fall. There's a big huge difference.

 

 

 

You might as well be flipping coins to make your buy/sell decisions.

With every up there is a down.

 

 

 

 

 

This is just panic buying. Soon there will be panic selling again and they will go even lower.

 

 

 

Those that bought today will see that no one is buying again, and panic sell them lower.

 

 

 

Stock market works the same way.

Does anyone have a reasonable explanation as to why this is happening? Is there some huge GE-manipulating stunt going on or is it just PvP slowly bringing back what used to be?

 

 

 

I personally think it's PvP, but don't really have much evidence to back it up. You're all saying that it's happening but anyone can look on GE and see that, I want to know why.
