Hey, I have a green mask on one of my accounts and I've been keeping it as a long term investment. But recently it's dropped in price a bit, and I've been wondering if it's just a small thing or if it is going to go down a lot more and stay there.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Opinions?

consdering that it's a rare it will go up.. you might have to wait but it'll go up.

Rares fluctuate wildly at times: just stay the course

I remember when i bought my blue mask and it was 1.4millgp, imagine if i asked the same question back then? just wait : ) it will go up! in time : )

From reading a few threads around here*. Currently rares seem to be in a "stable" mode right now. With the release of construction last year, since then, they've got the economy to sort of level off for the time being. This won't last forever (unless Jagex has more of these kinds of updates planned at certain intervals) and rares and such will start to go up again. But when that will be is anybody's guess.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

* This isn't my theory/idea. It's a from posts by SwampJedi and Duke Freedom that I've read.

I asked myself the same question after i bought mine, but I'm sure it will go up, even if we have to wait a couple of months

I think rares will either stop going up or dramatically slow. Previously, rares jumped as people were introduced to the game, and there were greatly more people than rares. Now, not so many people are being introduced to the game because most already have tried it, so the prices are much slower to rise. Take this estimation (in no way even close to real data)

 

 

 

In 2004, say there were 60,000 santa hats and 600,000 people higher than level 50. That puts 1/10 of the even somewhat experienced players with a santa, making them pretty easy to obtain. (600k)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In 2006, I would say there were about 20,000 santa hats and 8,000,000 people above level 50. that puts an estimated 40x price increase on santas (24m)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now, most people who play the game and are dealing with rares are above level 50. There is not much increase in people, only the slow decrease in santas through bannings and the such. I hope this made sense and wasn't too repetitive.

keep it for 2 years, and come back. same thing wil probablly happen like a phat.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

that'd be nice? :

I believe the introduction of 3A plays a part in it :-k

I bought 10 santas, 18 masks (8 being green because green is my favorite colour) and traded a rune 2 hander for a green party hat. The masks and santas i bought for 50k each. The rune 2h and party hat were both 300k at the time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

They will go up.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

No I dont have any of it anymore, it was all stolen from me in a complicated situation. I hate money.
