View Full Version : What's the best bargain you've gotten?
Talking about buying for an ultra low price, then selling for much higher.
Mine was a gold cup trophy, brought it yesterday for 10c, could sell easily 50c :) 40-46c prof!

I bought an Orange tree for 5c once. He tried buying it back off me for 10c (he'd seen Habbox prices.)
I bought a totem leg and a totem head for 5c and sold for 16hc.
Hc's was worth like 13-15c then.

Childline teles, I bought them for dirt cheap of someone and then kept them for a bit and sold them at their peak :)
I sold all my petals just before they were released in the catalogue for the last time for like 4hc per, bought a load more for 2 hc per afterwards and sold them on for 3hc each after a week ish (:

I bought a Green Oriental Screen for 1t and sold it for around 4t.
Another is my ICM set. It's more than one item ofc, but I made over 5t profit from it.
This was before the merge though :(.

How do you get them so cheap? Surely the owners would have seen its price in the MP.

Uhm...honestly, not sure...
Oh yh, I think I sold a little HC rare or something for like 50c :S oh, and I sometimes bought HCs for 1-2c (in those rare, but convenient 1-2c stores that often had a HC in) when they were worth 10c+

That day when green parasols prices went crazy just before the merge.
I sold one that I already had for 1t (I'd bought it for 7c 2 days earlier), and I also managed to buy one off the marketplace for 25c and then sold for another throne about 2 minutes later!!
What a day ;D
In the days after that, the prices fell back down loads as well :)

Credit shops, I have no idea how they both had one. They just look worthless though I think so when you offer like 10c they're like OK !!!!

I remember when in AU, they had the Gold, Silver and Bronze trophies for about 5 - 12c's every Melb Cup.. Wish I had bought a lot then :(
Oh well! Can't remember my bargain, bought 3 Violet Spaceship Doors @ 7c each. Going to wait and buy more and eventually increase their value.. hopefully!

Out of interest, why were they worth so little?

Just got an eco mushroom for 2c. sold it for 14c o.o
mines was a brown fan, 10c and a small silver star, sold for 2050c. wish i didnt sell it -.-
My best deal was back in the day before the merge when i was collecting a Smoke Machine set,
i had recently bought a Saturn (Gold) for 4T, and unfortunetly it was set to go down to 2T due to another trade of it elsewhere
Luckily a savior popped out of the Blue and i managed to trade my Gold Smoke for a Pink and Violet Smoke (Which at the time was worth around 5T)
Then the Gold dropped to 2T the day after :P
That was my best deal :)
Got one throne for my bathtub
Got another throne for my 2 holodice
sold one ages ago for 50hc (hcs were 10c+ at the time)
sold one after merge for 960c
