Have you ever gained profit from the catalogue?

[Samantha]

The question is a little odd, but with the deals they do have you ever gained profit from buying from the actual catalogue? When Short Grass was 3c per I ended up buying 198 (as 200 would have made me buy one for 4c each time) which made it 2.6c with deals and I sold for 3c per, pity you can't do that now, but have you ever done it? I think offers are great in the catalogue, but sometimes Habbo aren't that smart.

When that wired competition was announced, I realised the give points wired boxes were no where to be found other than in the catalogue at 10c per. I bought bulk of them using the deals, paying 7.5c each, and sold them 8c per - other than the 1 I kept :P.

Also, when grass patches and cobbled stones were reduced in the catalogue I bought bulk, kept for a while, then sold when they went up to 1.5-2c per.

And a few years ago, the Shishi Odishi was released in the Habbo Catalogue as a normal rare.. But Habbo exchange was disabled meaning people were paying more than catalogue price for them, and so I bought them and then resold for these higher offers.

I don't think so :( I've always found this story about massive profit from the catalogue amusing though:


With Zen furniture popping up around the world, it was only a matter of time before they were released in the Dutch hotel. This Driday it was, only a little bit too soon… At around 11.00, the Zen Rocks popped up in the ‘Country’ section. Habbo’s who noticed this, quickly bought these (5 rocks for 9 credits), and - clever as they were - started to sell them. Rumour has it, one Habbo received 15 HC Sofas for one (!) rock.

The rocks got removed 5 minutes later so the price went up obviously (lmao at people paying 15 HCs omg... isn't that around 225c) and then they appeared under the proper 'Zen' section later on that day. guttedd

Yeah, the biggest one was when petal patch was last released for 25c and club sofas were at 14c so I bought quite a few and sold them all 2hc per. Easiest profit I've ever made!

[Kardan]

Nope, but I presume anyone that bought any of the rares when Callie released them into the catalogue, or any of those 5 minute rares (Orange Parasol/Green Pillow?) would have made a healthy profit.

i swere hc's (club sofas?) are like 2 for 3 or 2c per..??

Years ago they weren't :P.

[JACKTARD]

I remember thinking the collectibles would make a profit haha, how wrong was I!?

[Paige.]

yeah quite a bit from when things were reduced that time like grass patches and wild cascades etc
also from black sofas i bought them 2c per from catologue and sold some for 5c per and some for 4c per

Architeuthis is the only one I can think of from the top of my head that's quite higher than 25c.

bought lots of glass dividers with deals when they were released in cat for like a day not that long ago. obv its risen in price but i dont think that is particularly amazing, so am i missing the point :S

[Mr-Trainor]

Totem Spirit Head, Totem Planet.
Oh yeah, forgot they were Collectables (A).

[Zelda]

I've done it plenty of times tbh, best one was with that new garden rock furni though when monster beds were accidently removed, cause I ended up sellig 40 odd at like 25c per after only paying about 3ish LMFAO then they wer in again the next da

Done it a lot of times with most stuff tho, like the gothic cabin castle furni etc, just spent hundreds and made stupidly large profits with every release.

[Plebings]

anyone remember when the disco sign was released? almost EVERYONE was trying to buy one, which caused a huge lag for the item to actually appear in your hand. anyway some people managed to get them before others and would be selling them for quite an upscale.

[e5]

Easier to do that before habbo exchange came into place

[Daltron]

Not too long ago they did a half price weekend or something I can't remember but I bought loads of rocks, rock corners and grass 1c per and sold later for 2c per :D
