Rare Rankings

I know there is a party hat thread, but I wanted to continue the conversation from an old post several years ago since Yellow surpassed Green.

 

Instead of bumping it you can find it here:

http://forum.tip.it/topic/72039-position-of-party-hats/

(From 2006 where you can find posts by the greatest merchant Duke_Freedom and others arguing if party hats will ever reach 1 billion...)

 

Basic question is if you ever think the order of party hats will ever change, as in:

Blue

White

Red

Yellow

Green

Purple

 

Of course the dupe had a profound impact, but after the event the general consensus was the order would never change.

Yawn.

 

People pay way too much attention to Burger King hats.

Yellow surpassed Green? Wow, I have been under a rock for the past few months.

Yeah, they passed them very shortly after the buyout happened.

 

I doubt that they will ever switch. They are more or less in order of rarity right now. The top 3 are definitly in the right order. I am not too sure about the lower ones. Purples are quite common so I'd say that they are always going to be at the bottom. The only thing I am not sure about is green and yellow. I still think that green is more rare then yellow (I see yellow 10x as much as green, unless I'm seeing the same person over and over).

The only way that I see this order switching is that a clan targets one specific hat and dumps all of thier other coloured hats, which is VERY unlikely.

No it's just that no one cares. *yawn*

lmfao.

Eh, you can thank me and a few others for white surpassing red not long after the dupe. :D

 

But will they change? I'd consider yellow/green as permanent contenders. I'd also say that white and red COULD change places, but it's unlikely.

 

Interestingly, I'd also put out that the purple party hat has the potential to move around. See, when there's a really high demand for items (like party hats) and there are more purple ones, the purple ones have a better ability to change their price because more are changing hands. This is by no means certain, but it's a little pet theory of mine.

Hasn't white always been more expensive than red?

 

Red used to be the cheapest.

I remember for a few months a few years back blue and white were slightly more than crackers.... then people would try to "risk it" in attempt to get a white or yellow....
