View Full Version : [Bobba] Habbox Set Values
Revelate
16-03-2007, 11:30 PM
I dont play habbo much anymore. its turned into a bit of a joke of a place. Most people i knew have left or sold up etc. As did i but i came back to see how things were going.
Cant believe how bad its gotten and i partially blame habbox for this. I opened a rare shop and most people wont even offer me when its my shop. They say "i dont offer soz" or "let me check habbox" then say "NO WAY ITS 1.6345 hc on habbox"
To top it all off is the samovars. Who is actually paying that price to raise them? nobody is the answer. Habbox have decided they are now super rares as they havent been released. Took how long guys? 3 or 4 years to increase nearly 5 or 6 times their value.
Neither the samovar or the holopod have ever reached over 5hcs before and now both are way ahead and seem to be going up.
Anyways my rant is that habbox ruins habbo. Im not sure if many of you remember habbo before habbox had their rare values but it was a much nicer place where people didnt get ripped off cos they just traded what they wanted. They single handedly have made people greedy about richness and values.
One website holds the power to raising or lowering the rare values which shouldnt be the case. Alot of people need to think for themselves and not let a website tell them how much something is worth. I know the rare reporters are supposed to report on how much they are going for. But in truth i have known previous head rare trader value reporters to collect a certain rare and then up the price and then sell on. Wont name name's but i know this for myself which is half the reason i dislike the whole idea.
Just wanted to say that. All is my opinion of course

There are 2 sides to this story, although some people might abuse power, its us who decide. Rare Value Reporters go scouting around for how much people are selling rares, and when they see a common trend, they change the value.

I was a trader well before habbox rare values and it was so much easier to make good profits from the noobs who had no idea of values.
I think habbox as a guide helps everybody but there isnt much profit to be made anymore.
If I need something I will pay more than habbox values but if i dont need a item offered then i offer less and lots seem to sell for less.

Russian Samovar, Holopod and Throne should of been Supers A LONG TIME AGO, All we did is posted a Poll seeing what people thought about us maybe correcting them.
It's all your fault that they are rising as you are the one's paying more and more every day.
Incase you haven't noticed Russian Samovars are harder to find than Dino Eggs so it makes sence people paying more for them.
Please name the Head Rare Values Reporter who apparently set values, then again there probley isn't one.

You all pay 3T+ for Dino Eggs when they are easier to find than Samovars, so what is the difference?
People want to pay 20 CS+ for Samovars, let them! is it because you haven't got one that your upset or something?
I don't have a White Smoke and i'm not moaning that it's 23T

I suspect that someone is trying to up the samovar value.

This is correct but in some cases a loud of **, well done. and not well done, Rvr's work hard doing there job, they don't need this criticism.

You're being hyprocritical, you're saying that Habbox values are bad because everyone is greedy with them, and that it was better before they came because it was easier to make a profit?
I think Habbox values are definately needed, okay, it's annoying when your rares go up and down like a roller coaster but it's better than not knowing what they're being sold for and being completely ripped off. The values were a mess before Habbox started valuing them.

I agree with you that it is annoying when noobs go 'NO WAY YOUR 0.567895 HCS OFF HABBOX VALUES' but its not all habbox's fault, they just type what people are sellling and buying their rares for onto the page.
I would like to see what would happen to the rare market if habbox deleted their rare values page for a while. Would people just use what it last was or would they make there own values?

Well the way people are behaving over a Pixel rising is very strange, HABBOX SKENM,ZZ11! CAUSE I HAVENT GOT ONE11, Ive got one. So?, If I was in it to bump the price up then wouldn't I have bought more like 5 of them?, I am not selling it because I like them.
and we can move them to supers because that's were they should be, the Poll CLEARLY shows that public want em' moved.

No I can't do what I like.
Me like a kid?, who are the one's moaning about Russian Samovars going to 22 CS and jumping to conclusions.
If you want someone to blame for them rising, speak to the public.

okkk im sorry coz i posted about your decision to move the samova to a super 4 years later, in my opinion you should of just left it where it was
im not having a dig at you:)

17-03-2007, 08:57 PM
well the Samovars worth around 2.5hc So why didnt you just move it to the Super Rare page. Rather than changeing there value?
people are only buying them cause they suddenly jumped by 20 hc in value.
Like you said it dosent matter what there value is to be a super so why increase it.
Before it was increased i am sure you never saw anyone buy it for 22 hcs
i think they should b decreased to orignal value and then just put them in super section. THEN They might RISE normally

They were updated as habbo's started to pay more.
If Habbox put them back to 2 CS then that's fixing the values.

17-03-2007, 09:10 PM
so you are saying habbos startd paying 22 CS for a rare thatwas 2.5 CS
thats pathetic

No.
It went like this.
2.0 - 2.5 - 3.5 etc then people relised it could go even higher so they kept offering more and more.
Very simple.

If thats what happened then yea but wow they were so hard to sell and suddenly they are one of the most popular rares.
Anyway move it to supers So all this can stop lol :P
Also i would like to say HC gift where never realesed So they arnt normal rares thy should be in a different section. But i dont care. its only pixels
-:Undertaker:-
17-03-2007, 09:25 PM
Because you can buy HC Rares :)
Also I agree, move em to supers.
TopManTim
17-03-2007, 09:36 PM
Well I think the reason they are going up so much is because of that 'should iones gifts be supers?' thread. As people read that then they thought it would jump if it went into the supers so now they are trying to buy them all but the sellers are raising the price so now its going up and up and up.
mlp16
17-03-2007, 10:01 PM
Well i thnk her should be section ForIones gifts and HC gifts as none are
normal rares are they
Just make a section called
Gift Rares

Habbox is a guide, you can't blame the majority of Habbo Traders to follow it. What else would they follow? Their instincts? Doubt it, they're unreliable and would cause a big mess. Samovars have NEVER been released as a rare, I think traders have finally realised that there isn't alot of them, considering the amount of Habbo users has gone up 10 fold in the last 6 years since ione gave them out...
Habbox doesn't ruin Habbo, without Habbox, another site would have Trade Values, and I can assure you that they would also "ruin" Habbo. Also, Habbox are not "ripping off" traders. Simply because you're not trading with Habbox, you're trading with a Habbo :rolleyes:

lmao they started paying more because habbox claimed they're supers, people were alerted by this and now they've gone from 2.5 up to 22 cs

That is the first sophisticated post (barring undertaker's) that Ive seen in this thread, +rep
Ive had this argument 50 times in the staff forums, so Im just going to say:
We dont set values, the public do. They overreacted to a thread about it being put on a different page on the site and decided that makes the price higher.

Samovars give Tea don't they? Pfft the Mocha is so much better.
mlp16
18-03-2007, 12:21 PM
so why have the samovar jumped
from 2.5 to 22.0 to 25.0 and then to 12.0 to 10.0
Something is fishy
but i dont care i wouldntbuy a samovar they dont look nice or hardly do anything.

18-03-2007, 04:34 PM
I think the Samovar is a Super Rare. Infact, it is with Habbox's idea of a Super Rare. May I direct your attention to the Dragon Egg? There are loads of them on the hotel, they're worth alot and are a super rare. So in my opinion, they're a super rare "/

I suspect that someone is trying to up the samovar value.

and they techincally cant be classified as super because a super could be released at any time, these however can not.
they should go into a special cataglory or just remain in the rare section..
