Since no one answered me last time, I'll ask again:

 

You put an offer in for divine at the current max (let's say 550,000,000) right at update.

Ge updates again. Divine falls a few hundred gp. Your offer is now out of the price range, but you leave it in.

Ge updates again. Divine raises 10k.

You are back in the range.

 

Is your offer still any good? Or do people that put in the new max have precedence? Does the fact it's a CS item make a difference?

 

See it this wayy. You put offer in for max for a divine sigil, g.e updates the sigil loses a few hundred gp value. Now you have a timerglass on your sigil offer. Your offer for the sigil is valid so long as you have that timerglass on. Once the timerglass gets removed, you have to abort your offer as other max offers will preceed yours.

Don't think so. I remember Master_Smither sniping either a divine or an ely after his offer had been "hourglassed" for some time. He also got back 14m gp IIRC.

Slightly OT, but I've been playing some casual FOG, and was wondering if anyone needed a B robe hood. If so, PM me, and I'l get one and sell to you. Tokens not doing me any good in bank.

Just wondering how do people figure out the street prices? I know.. iv been around since 2003, yet I still can't figure out how people determine the price on the street.. I look at the forums and its either scammers or trading for different items... I hava yellow phat and red mask (i am not looking to sell these) but was just wondering how to figure out the prices... thanks (im f2p)

[Bladewing]

The street price is determined by the ratio of junk to cash used in the trade.

 

Red H'ween: People trade these for about 90-100m cash and the rest junk. Therefore their street price is 90-100m (which is less than their GE price, indicating that the item is crashing).

 

Yellow partyhat: People have been trading these for about 4-5 pumpkins (before they dropped in price! no longer accurate). These pumpkins could each be sold with about 400m junk for pure cash. Therefore, trade limit permitting, you "could have" sold your yellow partyhat with 1600-2000m junk. This makes the "technical" street price for the yellow 2000-2400m (adding the GE price), but the important thing to know is how much junk you can sell it with.

Very interesting to read because i am myself looking very long for a yellow partyhat. BUT buying a bulge of junk with a value of 1600-2000m you can't sell for only to get that precious partyhat is insane. Only thing you can do is trying to shove that pile of junk again in somebody elses bank. 'Ha! Now it's your pile of [cabbage]!' Is that what i want? No thank you.

It might not be what you want, but it's what you have to do atm if you really want that Phat. Unless you get lucky and snipe/have a friend sell you one for market/sudden Phat crash happens...

[Bladewing]

Yup you can either do that, kill corp beast for a divine sigil, or snipe a sigil/partyhat directly from the GE.

Well you can always complain to Jagex to fix the GE so that they actually reflect Phat prices at the real level, but we all know how diligent the Jagex team working on the GE are.

hey i haven't played in about a 2 years and was curious what the street value of my red phat would be worth now?

[Unb34t4bl3]

Red partyhat has a street value of 3 billion or so right now. But that's a really meaningless number, as are the rest. it just means you are entitled to that much in street value of other items (such as a divines, elysians, etc) without having to deal with the junk trading system. ;)

[Evil_Sabre]

It's pretty irrelevant because if you haven't played in two years you probably won't have enough junk to take advantage of the street price, unless you trade solely with items like pumpkins and disks and such. Most likely the best you could do is sell max on ge, which I most definitely do not recommend.

I guess my post didn't make sense fully, if he DID have the hourglass then that means he HAS a chance at sniping.

Why have yellow phat's dropped below green and almost purple now in g.e price?

[Bladewing]

Why have yellow phat's dropped below green and almost purple now in g.e price?

Purples are the most common hat, so that first off gives them the "advantage" in that they will be traded more often in GE. Also, they have the lowest street value, so if a player were to dump a partyhat in the GE for cash, and had to choose between all of the colors (assuming he has a set), he would dump the purple.

 

They dropped below green a long time ago...

Back in the day, it used to be Purp<Yellow<Green<Red<White<Blue; even before, it used to be Yellow<Red<Green<White<Blue<Pink (i think)

Actually, red used to be the cheapest, (even more cheap than the red mask!) But the dupe "changed" the order of rarity and somehow the demand

too. Also, green was more than white by a few mill.

Ok thanks guys. My offer has been in for about 2 weeks. Nothing yet. I'll keep it in for now.

FWIW, Spectral SS is bought out atm. I needed the cash and rarely ever do arma (and when I do, the DFS isn't that much different), so I put mine in the GE and it sold for max instantly.

I don't see a point in spectral ss. I find dfs to even be more useful @ arma.

Once you got good mage defence to at least 120+ than another 20+ shouldn't really kill you.

Eh but in all seriousness... my friend who remember his old pass from ages ago has like 2 partyhat sets and offered to sell me one of them. Which would I need to trade it simply for a divine?

A blue... to trade to me for red, which you can trade for two divines, which you can sell one to me for cash.

 

Yellow is a bit under divine, green is easily a divine.

 

PS: introduce me to your friend. I need a blue.

How are Santas doing atm?
