Why items are crashing?

[dilloncyh]

Why most of the popular cb items like gwd item, dfs, barrows are crashing? Is it due to the new skill which Jagex has just announced? Or other reason?

 

thank you

It *could* be because of the next semester of school is coming up and lots of kids are rushing to sell their items.

 

Maybe I'll get that full Ahrim's and Z spear :thumbsup:

No, the end of the winter break has come for most people, so they sell off all their expensive items when they won't be playing much.

 

And the new skill has been known to have been coming for quite a while.

Yeah School is mainly the reason.

It's never school... It's a panic, and items are already going back up now, so I don't know what everyone's saying. It was just a panic sell after the items stopped rising. Nothing more. It'll happen again, and with no relation to the school year starting/ending.

It's just common trends, runescape players have very little faith in an economy. An item drops a few hundred K and a few people start to sell theirs out of panic. This, in turn drops it a bit more, then more people panic and sell, which then causes a big drop and everyone panics to sell. The item reaches it's lowest price, at this point merchanters pounce, driving the price a few percent higher than it was originally. Generally, unless you're merching the item, keep it.

Maybe school, I'm trying to sell a lot of items used in a wide range of skills (farming, herblore, combat, cooking etc) and few of them are selling lowest (most not selling at all).

[HexiledRazz]

Yeah, a few people started selling because of the announcement of the new skill and back to school. And a bunch of other people panicked because items were slightly dropping, and thus sold theirs.

 

...Now I'm stuck with this hunk of metal until the panic wears off *glares at BGS*

Jagex announced high level content of Armour Weapons this year, I think thats the reason why.

[Merre]

Well I don't really watch prices myself but I heard some clanmates complain their ss dropped a mil in a few days.

No real good reason although I tend to believe the end of holidays might be responsible for this.

Luckily we, as working adults, can plan holidays whenever we want and play whenever we want ;)
