What happened?

[Will-]

Just got back on habbo, only been away for about 1-2 months. alot of things have shot up in value, i was wondering if the're was any reason? i see a hc is now 10c so did that effect values?

[Mr-Trainor]

Possibly. The reason the credits went up was due to the new marketplace which requires you to have credits in order to use it. This may have then had a 'ripple' effect and caused the rise of most other items too!

Habbox over-prices alot of things. But alot of rares have increased due to the marketplace, the HC's demand as a pose to the credit has dropped, as credits are now more useful with the marketplace.

Habbox doesn't essentially over-price things. Habbox rare values staff are closely watching the market place and trade rooms. The prices that are on Habbox are what the items are currently being traded for at this time. They are updated as the values change accordingly.

But yes, the marketplace did cause the values of most rares and credits to rise. Although, I feel like the marketplace has caused a lot of the supers to drop in price.

To document and his supers comment: imo it seems kind of half and half really. Some supers have risen quite a bit, particulary drags and icms, whereas some items have decreased, like bbs.

The marketplace doesn't seemed to have affected the t price though (that's throne price, not tarantulas ;)).

By that I meant over-pricing as in they're too high for what they do trully sell for.

Examples (cause these are common so yeah) -
Totem Poles - Been selling for 20 HC or in some occasions less. :)
Silver Pillow - 3.0 but selling for 2.5 (an example of this is in the marketplace atm for 26c.)
Gold Pillow - 3.5 but selling for 3.0 (an example of this is in the marketplace atm for 31c. :P)

I don't mean they generally over-priced everything to the higher prices they are now. ;)

[Mr-Trainor]

I sold my totem head and planet for 20hc though ;). But i haven't seen gold pillows at 3.5.

Saw someone it trade city sell for 18 Luke. :P

And while we're ont ehs ubject, a silver pillow is now on marketplace for 24c. haha

[-:Undertaker:-]

Marketplace changes all the time AJ, and the White & Gold Pillows have decreased/increased many times over the past month by a margin of about 0.5 CS to reflect when the market changes. Pillows always move, it all depends on what colours a certain casino owner/room builder is mass buying and if anyone is selling.

I can't change the value to below 24 C just because on marketplace theres one there for 24 C, if it sells then yeah that counts and we continue to look at it.
