It does actually, logically think about it - and i've seen it in help desks and trade rooms. If you have an item (or if a newer member has acquired an item) of seasonal furniture which is rare and barely ever on marketplace, then you won't know the price because these items are never listed as much as popular normal rares such as Ambers/Petal Patches and Samovars. This leads to a lot of them either underselling their rare or trying to oversell it of which other newer players often fall for it.

So if Habbox is to act as a guide against the marketplace, it's strength will be in areas which the marketplace doesn't cover.

I understand the post-marketplace rares market, whether i'm in the department anymore or not is completely irrelevant.

if it's so irrelevant then you wouldn't be trumping it like it makes your opinion worth double or shine with gold or whatever. you would have left it out of this thread. even just said you worked in the department, not WHENNNN IIII WASSSS MANAGERRRRRRR.

anyways, yeah, no — when there is actually time going in to changing the value of a furniture barely traded and not for habbox price when it is between one and two credits then you know something is wrong.

Sorry but simply put whatever the mp value is the values we get our based upon it anyway, as a veteran mercher myself I know that 9 cases out of 10 u sell -1c from mp value now.to get best money, therefore since reports come directly from shop values effectively ur effectively getting values based upon mp anyway. Simply put doesn't matter if mp average had become rigged, you can atill sell at the new rigged price because simply put, if a buyer doesnt like your price they can **** off, therefore there's no point saying the values are useful when mp is rigged cause quite frankly people will be selling with new rigged price till its fixed anyway.

I use Habbox to check all prizes in rares. S:

Agree to a point with Seasonals, however, if someone has acquried a rare they can just click 'put in marketplace' to get an average. I know I would often use the values on Habbox if I needed a furni not in mp so that's like what you were saying too :D.

Btw thanks for the feedback. The marketplace is making the job difficult but I still feel there are things that Rare Values offer which are appreciated by users. We are taking the feedback into account to make sure our values are more up to date as well as adding furni quickly.

Our list of coding requests is huge, we have big ideas for V7 so hopefully that will enhance our role at Habbox :P
