I really enjoy your perspective. Keep it up. It's rare to find people who know what they're talking about when interpreting rare values and correlating them to their histories.

I agree with a lot of your statements, although right now I'm pretty much of the mindset that Limited Rares are the only rares worth investing in anymore (perhaps barring Thrones and Petals). I might suggest investments in normal or super rares for short term profit, but the truth of the matter is that there is more than enough supply of these rares to meet the demand. We have seen a lot of the once highly prized supers fall in value within recent months such as the Gold, Silver and Bronze dragons. The economy will only get worse as A) more people quit and B) peoples' opinions on which rares are the most attractive change.

I blame the slump in rare values on the fact that more exciting and lucrative opportunities were made available with the release of limited rares. People find it comforting that limited rares will NEVER be released again. And truth be told, so do I. It is for this reason that I have chosen to sell off ALL of my old furniture in order to invest in the better LTDs, such as Silver Pillows, Cherry Trees and Pink Dragons.

To be honest I think that items like the Gold/Silver/Bronze Dragons were over priced in the first place, and a drop in price was always a possibility. However, I do agree that LTDs are certainly a safer investment. Even with non-LTD rares that Habbo say will never be released again, that doesn't mean they won't be - like we've seen with many items.
