Large Drop in Rare Prices

[DRUMINATOR17]

erkid"]Ya that's about it. More people are focusing on getting a skill cape to show off. Before skill capes everyone wanted rares to show off. Bought a red 40m just before skill capes.. now like 36.5m :x

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I did too :evil: Payed like 39 mil or something right around the skill capes realease #-o

Skills capes --> People sell their rares to buy 99s --> Rares have a larger supply --> Rares drop.

Skill capes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Third Age.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Other high-priced distractors.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Leads to -

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lower consumer confidence. (As evidenced by this thread and others like it)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lower demand.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Therefore -

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lower price.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That's how I see it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Can you make that into multiple paragraphs :P

 

 

 

i think the arising updates which have recently been bought into our economical game system such as the 99k per cape, skill capes, the extremeley overpriced third age clue scroll armour, which is very rare and has cause outstandingly influencual prices straining the economy, other high priced distractors such as already rare items, like party hats and kind runescape players, has also repeatedly put strain onto the economy.

 

 

 

therefore this has caused lower consumer confidence, should i buy this item, how do i know it won't drop in price, but how do i know it won't rise? is god real? can dogs look up? questions such as these have caused further worry amongst the buyers, also causing the suppliers to become substantially worried about their items and wether anybody will want to scam, sorry buy, them off of them. therefore less demand has become, less people killing heavencats, sorry hellhounds for clues, less people bothering to kill dragons etc for money and also a rise in autoers, the pea brained people who make endless accounts to make money to not only mess up the economy further but to also buy the items that noone wanted, then making the demand rise and everyone get all excited and run to the hellhounds/elves/wherver this item everyone wants is.

 

 

 

to conclude, none of that made sense i basically consturcted a framework around swamps facts, whilst pleasing the authours [specialInterest] for long paragraphed answers, and seemingly making me seem intelligent by using massive vocabularitical sentences, whilst also making anyone who know and understands english hate me for killing the language.....thank you

[mrmyk]

not sure why i'm hoping to see some stability in the rare market now so i can work my way up to a phat :P

[pati]

Damn...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

First rares are going to drop, then rise, then drop, then rise, etc.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Who cares?! :shock:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

merchanters, people with rares, people who want to buy a rare and people who don't want to buy a rare and don't have one but are interested in the rare market like me :D

[jonno53]

here my version :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Skill capes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Third Age.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Other high-priced distractors.

Lower demand.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Therefore -

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lower price.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That's how I see it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Problems

 

 

 

Skill capes. (rich peeps want a cape and are putting all there money from rares into getting one)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Third Age. (rich peeps want 3rd age and are putting all there money from rares into getting one

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Posts lke this. (causing the poorer (but still rich) peeps to panic about a total price crash or a scam or sumthing, and are selling all there rares as quickly as possible to get their money before the rare presumably becomes worth the paper/red felt/pumpkiny goodness they are made of)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

my oppinion

 

 

 

the price of rares goes up and down, its no big event, could have been started by some idle chat by the phat sellers. so the drop is about 20% more than normal, itll just be a little bit longer to go back to normal. there maybe rumours of scams and stuff which means the raise will take a little longer, but ill say this:

 

 

 

rare owners, keep ya rares. richish non-rare owners, buy a rare and wait for the money back...

[luker2d2]

anything supidley over priced for a small +

[bbalking]

i guess noone was told what i was told... but okay here is what i heard, and i trust this guy and his info.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i heard some guy found a bug in staking and abused a few blue phats out of it, he then sold several for 360m ea, creating a scare of a dupe because it was like 50mil(i believe) less then normal market price.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

hence why the "drop" the scare of the dupe made people panic, people who dont know this story are like well if santas drop ill only pay what they are now making it hard to get them back to pre-scare prices.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

yep this is the current reason for the drop in rares atm, all other reasons such as hunter, construction, 3rd age have all been out long time before this current drop, and the guy who won around 20 rares by using a programme sold them all on the cheap is the one who caused this drop

[mchainmail]

 

 

 

Chinchompa's anyone? Easy to get and can give ownage range xp. Selling them could get you some money.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes, but no NEW money.

 

 

 

Mining: Alching smithed items

 

 

 

WCing: Making bows, alching them

 

 

 

Combat: Money drops, alchable drops

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

in essence, more money is being introduced into the game. But hunter is a very slight money drain (cost of making clothing, buying stuff).

[Lep]

Tons of people are now buying rares to hold for when the price rises again. It'll be soon since there will be low quantity again. Can't wait since I got 2 Santas and 2 Green Masks. :D

[Shaddd]

I'm guessing that there is a lower demand. With the release of skill capes, seeing as there are quite a few that are flashy (that require money), people are skilling. Third age is also another factor. Many high-end stakers and other "richie riches" are buying them to show their status. Construction started this all, and Jagex keeps adding things into the game (on purpose?) to diminish the rare prices. Something has also come up recently - chinchompa ranging. At a 200K and even 300K EXP per hour at level 90+, chinchompas are raising fast with that comes more hunters. This all plays into the little "market game" so, sorry investors. Remember, rares were supposed to just be a little bit of fun that should be worth 25K-100Kea. Apparently that's not the case now, so I hope that helped.

[tewas]

I think this is because of recent money drain, constructions, skill capes and kingdom. for me? it doesn't make difference, for merchanters, well i don't wanna be in their shoes right now ;)

[Poddy295]

Skill capes lowered the rare price. People have been selling there rares and want a 99 skill quick, they can't get their price so they sell for much less. Thats why I think rares dropped.

[icecube]

Hm, am I missing something?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Was this a gradual decrease in the price of rares recently that you guys are talking about? Or was there a sudden drop that's actually new, because the whole rare prices dropping has sort of been going on for a bit.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have not played for a 2 months so I don't know what's going on.

[fx1970]

Anyway, they will start increase agian.. The only question is when...

[Fredz]

Nice try. ...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To the guy that asked if it have been a sudden drop. The answer is no. It has gone down since the last 6 months. Just a little bit more the recent 2 weeks.

[Bouwzie]

Is it just me or are prices going up again?

[Straw_Hat]

i bought like 8 santas yesterday morning for 19.8-20M ea

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

last night i checked people were buying 20.5 ea

[Kenshinjapan]

I guess people finally realised that rares are poiuntless and stopped caring abut them/buying them. Seems logical to me :

[killmenub]

Someone who had a large amount of rares, who actually had a very large amount of rares... sold them to buy pray experience and other things... but i'm not aloud to name names, that what i know anyways :roll:

[Aresgodowar]

just a question but which hat should i get to match my quest cape?

[anonymouse_]

I'm sure prices will return to normal soon.

 

 

 

just a question but which hat should i get to match my quest cape?

 

 

 

Black.

[Triquos]

man i wish i could remember the guy that said this quote, it was from runescape forums a while ago, and i'm sticking to this evidence!:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Pfft.. Rares only drop when the 13 year olds in rs get dumped by their girlfriends... duh"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

:lol: :lol: :lol:

[jedidude77]

i honestly didn't notice, but ur right, i just see it as a temporary fluxuation :

[ValaraZ]

"Pfft.. Rares only drop when the 13 year olds in rs get dumped by their girlfriends... duh"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

:D

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Classic sigstuff.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I heard yesterday or the day before that the prices of masks and santas are going back up again.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Not by much but they did, i went to w2 yesterday to buy some runes and didn't see much of an increase in the prices. i suppose the no-lifers at fally park enjoy when price goes up by 200k. :?
