I can't believe that a throne is worth 32CS or whatver. I remember the time when you could get one for 14CS.
I think it would be a good idea to remove the Habbox Rare Values page for a few weeks. See how trade reacts.

True that. What suprized me was that even the super rare traders stopped, as well.Quote:

Habbo would be habbo again.. and not just about the furniture.
I actually want that to happen, All people care about on habbo is furni, furni, furni... Not fun?Quote:

By the time was get it, everyone will have left.

like a hc for things no one would even consider with values.
I don't think it's the recolours that are affecting the market, at the start of the recolour era we had 10,000+ people on our UK Hotel and as we saw from things like Red Pillows and Black Smokes many were bought and then slided down to 0.2 - 0.5 because there were so many of them, then about 1 week later there was a craze on them and they would rise - We don't see this any more.Quote:

What currently happens with new rares that come out is that how ever many are bought they seem to stick and 1 CS and don't move at all, new rares have become unteresting in their value pattens.
And good point about the supers, they seem to be dropping a A LOT, I predicted Birdbaths would hit 2T this year but now that seems very likely.
RVRs do their best to provide accurate prices, so don't start on it. One of the problems is that when Ymo was manager the rare values page was updated rarely, but now we have new management it should run more smoothly.Quote:

People just dont have the furni to buy supers these days, and can only offer small amounts or unpure for supers. Super rare traders dont like this and hang on to the supers, making the super rare trading market stand still or decline further as when they do want to sell, their prices are too high and they have to lower.Quote:

The throne would be around 45HC if certain events hadn't lowered the price dramatically (it being released accidentally and the "orb of doom" vote being 2)Quote:

Why are recolours bad? It just means your favourite type of furniture has a better chance of fitting in with a room you want to make. Re-realeasing old rares will always be a good profit maker by sulake because people want things for cheap, therefore they will buy the rare, meaning there are more of them, meaning the price will reduce and stay there for a while as there is high demand. This will probably keep happening for a while to come, if not forever.Quote:

New rares that have been released in the last year: Sleeping bag, road barrier, traffic light, lazer gate, solariums, moon rug, snow rug, sand patch, shrubbery stuff, gothic range, asian range, new HC furni, inflatable chair.
Add that to: Ecotron, habbo exchange, recoloured mode and iced and new iced furniture, I dont think we've had a bad run of new furnis
its kinda odd tht we are all talking about the callapse of the habbo "economy" when reall all it is a virtual furniture on a computer screen deep in cyberspace...
