Im alittle confused... is it my imagination or has the rares market been declining? i might be just noticing this becouse of easter eggs they have been aroudn same price for about 4-6 months... are the other rares the same way? if so why?

People have decided to hoard them all and keep them in their banks. Just my thoughts.

That would cause them to go up :anxious:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anyway, it's because Jagex has screwed around with them so damn much these past few months. Callobrated with the usually market fall around this time. They'll go back up in spring.

easter eggs dont rise very often. masks been staying at its price for 3 months. itll eventually go up.

My opinion is no one wants a Phat anymore as they use to.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jagex couldn't just take the Phats off a players head and say "hey, your ruining the economy, so were stealing this, kthxbye."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Instead, they countered Phats with a HUGE customization of clothing options.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Alot of people have different preferences as what they like to wear. Now that phat aren't the only choice, the price declines or stays where its at.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Back in the past, I did want a party hat.. but I really don't care if I have one now.. there is TOO many cloths out there in my opinion. Besides.. its just a hat :)

Rares haven't been declining. They've just been stagnant. Jagex has been adding new things to the game to continuously lower the demand for them, ranging from the money sink of construction to the pseudo-rares of 3rd age items so people have other places to put their money into. Combine that with the steep prices they're at and the fact that they're so unreachable to the masses, and you get the current non-moving prices we have right now.

yes they have, i got 99 fletching like 2 weeks after skillcapes were out.. i bought both a green mask, then traded it for a santa at 26.9mil and had an east eggs for about 16mil

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

now eggs are in the 10mils and santas are like 23m?

maybe people no longer see phats as an obtainable goal because of the price

Its basically just a shift in desires.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Why pay 200 Million for a Hat when you could get 20 Guthan Sets???

Thats what i reackon, they are way overpriced and people have given up on the goal of getting one, settling for less instead. Full D is alot to go for really, and now 3rd age. They only people that can buy phats now days are pretty much people that no-life fletching or rcing, are amazing stakers or already have one and merchant with it for others.

if i was jagex i would buy all the rares off people at the current market price

 

 

 

make a shop in fally garden that buys all rares

 

 

 

and if buy the end of the week ur rares are not sold they are deleted

Everybody wants a 3rd age item now, not a rare.

They're all saving up for third age now and not peehats

Simple rule of supply&demand; currently demand for rares has been on a downhill. This is because of few different things:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

* People are wanting 99 capes instead of wearable rares.

 

 

 

* People are spending their money on 3a items.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If I now had some loose cash, I'd invest it all on rares. By time 3a items get cheaper and most of the people with big $$$ got their 99 fletch&cook, so the demand of rares will start rising. The rares are most likely to skyrocket within few months.
