High alch of rare item likely ?

[noobnoob]

I have heard of it before but i think it is all [cabbage].

 

 

 

How would someone of the right mind high alch their rare just to reduce the total rare in rs so as price will appreicate faster ?

 

I would think it is a trick to con other 'no brainer' to high alch their rare.

 

 

 

By accident maybe true, purposely i dont believe a cent of it.

 

 

 

What do you think ?

 

Hereby like to hear for fellow forumers.

its all a hoax me nd my mate saw this lvl 45 in members world saying he alched his mask's so he showed us his mask and then he alchs and then shows us his money...no word of a lie i thought it was real but i noticed the prices never went down..so the trick is he alchs the mask (pretend) and then he goes to the west bank in varrock ang goes i alched my mask's ans im selling my last 1 for 18mil this was a green mask btw so we go to him and ask him and ask him to show us his masks..and this bit made me laugh my head of he accidently put out all his mask's which he said he alched lmao i was laughing my head of and then goes ohh there were my spares..so realli its all a load of "cabbage" lol

[Jarritos]

its happened before, but its not too common

[godsfearme]

In theory it workds. I thou think that the prices will not fluctay enough to earn the gp back. I am not sure but i think they high alch for an amazing 0 gp.

[stealthman8]

people usually alch something by mistake, and the prices wont go up unless many people start doing it

[Tomato]

It makes no sense.

 

 

 

All you have to do is refuse to sell, and you've effectively taken that rare out of the market.

[n64jive]

some ppl would rather do something spontanious then just hoard some pixel gp

[Revenga]

alching your blue party hat and refusing to sell it is pretty much the same thing, wht would you rather do?.. :wink:

[PkMARIO]

You want to know how would someone react? Well, a dude that alched his green phat spammed the rares forum on rune for about an hour posting lots of stupid things, swearing, filling the entire page with topics of: "I ALCHED MY GREEN PHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!", " YOU ARE ALL MORONS GIMME BACK MY PHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!", etc, etc...

 

Poor guy :/

[majinkamahl]

I think it is more common for someone to eat a rare than alch a rare...

[Aus_Fighter]

Had this clip for awhile now its pretty cool :wink: .. Like alot of money gone in a few seconds :lol:

i saw a lvl 80 alch a green phat....he sed he had like 10 of em....i think he lied lol cos when i asked him to show me them he ran away lol

[Gunnit7]

It would very slightly affect the market as one is eliminated and they cant all last forever.

I say make it untradeable! That will show them *sneers* Ive personally seen my friend alch a party hat, as I stood behind his computer chair, I called him a complete and utter idiot and he laughed. Of course, this was a good 4 years ago. :P I hope he's proud

 

 

 

They were only about a few thousand back then. So really not that much of a big deal.

[StinkyKeys]

Accidental alching has probably raised the prices of rares some, but i would think the big thing is people that are banned with rare items, and people that just stop playing and leave rare items in their bank.

I agree with this guy. Leave rares is wrose than high alching. It raise them leap and bounds.

[noobnoob]

I think the price of rare is more dependent on demand and supply.

 

 

 

Disc of return and pumpkin can be fewer then santa or mask but their price do not seems to appreicate much faster then them.

 

 

 

Possible reasons for phat to go up fastest could be

 

1) They can be wear on the head to show off

 

2) They come in a set so much more fun collection as a set

 

3) They are fewer in numbers and most players dream to own them knowing of the possible profit that could comes with it.

 

4) They are the earliest wearable items available

 

5) Many are lost in the earlier days when most do not keep them or just sell them for little profit.

 

 

 

Lastly, I think so far all forumer have agreed that high alch of rare is a stupid crab as a whole.

[E_K]

one of my friend's offered to give me some rare's but i like alching things so i warned him....

 

needless to say he didn't give me anything :lol:

 

 

 

to some ppl this game isnt about pixels

[Dexek]

Accidents happen, but to raise the price just have a mass number of rare owners refuse to sell their rares, then the demand will increase the more the supply decreases. You will also still have a rare to prance around with. :D

[fellupahill]

i high alched a blue hat back 4 years ago by acident.......

[slimysteve]

Actually refusing to sell is a much better option than alching;

 

 

 

You keep it -->

 

You wear it -->

 

You are idolised -->

 

People like how good you look -->

 

People buy a Phat to look as cool as the person had looked -->

 

More demand, less supply (You're refusing to sell) -->

 

Prices to go up. -->

 

 

 

Same purpose as alching is achieved

[gollod]

In theory, If you bought 2 rare items of the same type, then alched 1 of them, there would be an increase in price (basic supply and demand).

 

 

 

But realistly, you would need to alch, I don't know exactly, 100 masks for your 1 mask left to be worth significantly more.

 

 

 

And anyway, if there is less supply, demand will evently lose interest...

[VideoTape]

You only get a few K for alching a phat or mask I think :S

[Kill_Life]

Has no point to do that, unless you alch over 1000 santa's or so...

 

But for 1 it won't raise like 100k...

 

Tough, it still is 1 santa less :(
