Intriguing Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Please note, I'm not looking for a buyer or seller. The last time I checked before this, I think there was about a 6m gap between santas and blue masks, I don't quite remember. To my knowledge, there's about a 3-4m gap right now. So I'm wondering if it's worth me selling about 10k of my monkfish (I'll be selling them later anyway, so that part doesn't make too much difference, except that I could probably get a bit more from them if I sold in mass.) as well as my santa to buy a blue mask. The real factor about this that I want to know is, do you think santas will drop or rise at Christmas time (personally I think they'll drop), and do you think that the gap between blue masks and santas will increase, decrease, or stay the same? Thanks. :) Cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Fray Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 I have noticed they always drop when Christmas comes. I would say sell your santa and get a blue fast before santas drop. They should start dropping down soon. Besides blue mask is way cooler i have two in my bank :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intriguing Posted November 30, 2006 Author Share Posted November 30, 2006 Thanks mate. :) I'm not quite sure, but I believe santas rose last year at Christmas time. But masks dropped at Halloween just because everyone was expecting them to rise like santas did, and tonnes of people were selling them in mass, therefore supply was far greater than demand, and they dropped. I'll probably buy the mask just out of caution. Cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyM Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 I don't see why they would drop... When they were dropped back in RSC they were worth 20k - Now they are what? 30 mil?

Keep it The prices drop because of an unbalance in supply and demand. It's not a major price change, because they'll keep rising afterward.

Keep it Holiday items tend to drop a little bit when their respective events are coming up, not really sure why but thats what has happened in the past. I don't think it has to do with supply in demand because I don't see why the demand would decrease when the event is coming up, if anything it should be increasing. Check out my Pocket Slot idea!

I don't think it has to do with supply in demand because I don't see why the demand would decrease when the event is coming up, if anything it should be increasing. Well I wasn't playing RS during last year's holidays but this is how I figure: During the holidays, rare holders think prices will rise based on past events, which is true. Then so many of them try to sell, that they flood the market with those rares, and it becomes a buyers market. Because the rares are already pretty highly priced, the number of sellers keeps decreases when the sellers all try to sell even higher. The increasing amount of sellers is greater than the semi-increasing demand, so the price drops. This seems like an ok explanation but really only would explain small price drops, and I don't know how large they dropped last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AirlessWig Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Have you read this? http://www.tip.it/runescape/index.php?times=28 Comes from Duke Freedom, and it has a graph of the smaller rares rising and falling, really interesting and might solve alot of your problems. I'd go for a blue mask Less important, The influence of a skill like construction on rares. http://www.tip.it/runescape/index.php?times=44 It has an updates raregraphic, so that's why i included his link as well.

Malhavok Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 From my understanding they rise up until X-mas and lower after X-mas. Just like toys! Geaux Tigers ! Congrats on a great year ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
