July 20, 200916 yr I'm confused because many peopel selling them ask for edibles+cash? Why is this? Also, i searched forums and people are selling phats for cash+ loads of junk, why is this, why isn't the ge updating to the price people sell? Do people actually buy the phats for these crazy amounts of junka and cash? Please let me know, it's very confusing, sorry if this sounds silly, but i don't know due to a break
July 20, 200916 yr mostly because of inflation. people want to get rid of their money by putting it into rares. sorry if i got the wrong idea.
July 20, 200916 yr After the removal of staking and pking many players quit and when they did they sold off all their partyhats causing a massive increase in supply and a decrease in demand of partyhats to stake causing them to fall. They were frozen in the GE from then on because the buy amount for an update was too large. Jagex then manually adjusted partyhat prices and changed the limits along with the drop rise margin to 1% each update. So they did a slow fall(with a few buyouts inbetween) until 3rd age started to crash and then merchants needed a new item. It was then that they got bought out and 3rd age dumped. This is what you see today and that was a crash course in p hat history after the grand exchange. Basically because of the low grand exchange prices and the high street prices noone is willing to sell them on the GE. The GE updates slowly but surely every once in a awhile and partyhats near their street price but it is very slow. Basically they are worth a lot more than the trade limit allows you to trade so people buy with junk and yes they do pay these prices. Edibles recently got bought out due to their low GE price and low demand. So they are another unbuyable item like partyhats that people use to try and get one.

July 20, 200916 yr This belongs in help + advice. Also the post above pretty much covers it null and void
July 21, 200916 yr Please post all your questions in Help and Advice. I'd try answering the question, but I haven't played in ages. :lol: This signature is intentionally left blank.
July 21, 200916 yr Rares don't have enough supply to fluxuate rapidly to show changes in GE. Also there is a control on the items so people don't merch them up +5m a day on GE. For some reason one person decides to buy it max then the people of forums panic and start buying them until they are worth more then what they are.
