For my "noob" rares that I want to sell (AKA; Club sofa ect; ) I normally use Habbox, but for some stuff if I need creds quickly, I'll make up me own prices.
I use cheap rares for Habbox but for more expensive ones I use the marketplace as it gives information about the past sales, too...
No, it's inaccurate, although people use it half the stuff is under priced :(
Nope, nothings ever updated thats needs to be.
One trade higher and then its an increase, to be decreased you need loads of trades.
I go by what "I" see.
If i'm selling, and Habbox is higher than Marketplace, I use Habbox.
If i'm selling, and Marketplace is higher than Habbox, I use Marketplace.
If i'm buying, and Habbox is higher than Marketplace, I use Marketplace.
If i'm buying, and Marketplace is higher than Habbox, I use Habbox.
Very simple really.
Everything is updated, the Club sofa change has ensured anyway that every rare has been updated and rechecked - I also go over the values often and compare them to marketplace prices to make sure they are in sync, if they are out of sync then i'll check reports and look myself in trade rooms.Quote:

I usually check habbox then I check the marketplace. :)
When selling, i do the same as MikeyFusion by checking Habbox and then the Marketplace and sell for the highest price unless it is rediculous in the marketplace!
To be honest i've never trusted habbox values, im not been mean or accusing any of the staff of anything but from people who have previously worked here say that the staff vary the prizes depending on their furniture.
Habbox ftw so habbox. :)
I haven't been on Habbox values for over a week now. I use my own judgement most of the time :)
What i tend to do is look at habbox values and see if the furni has risen or decreased recently and also the market place and try to get an average from both.
off topic: I think that habbox should just use credit values on rare items with the price of the Club Sofa (HC Sofa) being so low, but on the super items worth 1T or more having credit and Throne values ... just my opinion obviously - but is something which i beieve could be considered and looked at.
Seems a bit odd when most of those rares are decreasing!Quote:

It has dropped, but does not appear so - the same goes for most rares on Habbox yesterday. Think before you attack.
I have tended to sell via the marketplace, reason being is I sometimes put items on a high price, and they sell because people get desperate and its a fast way of selling or buying. I have rarely ever bought from the marketplace though, as it is overpriced ;). If I was to buy rares, I go buy Habbox prices, or the values that I find when seeing other trades.
I suppose habbox are having a difficult time reporting and making their values accurate because the merge is still have a slight effect on the rares/supers. But in time once the rares and supers have settled habbox will become more accurate again.
I know i am Bias, but this is wrong tbh. I've owned blue lasers, white pillows etc that all did shocking in the merge, i decreased these values when i still have like 20 white pillows and 10 blue lasers left. The rumours of rigging values will never go but i can hand on heart say i have never done anything to the values to benefit me. Cos tbh i don't care if what i buy/sell goes up of down, as long as i push for a good deal at the time.Quote:

If you have loads of information at you hands about this you become an expert at it. You see a certain rare starting to drop so if you have any of them you'll naturally sell, same with buying etc.
Just a little thing is noticed.
Frost Dragon habbox value - 150c.
One currently on marketplace - 111c.
I find it hard to believe this just wasn't updated, given it was increased!
I used to use Habbox, but now I go by the market because that's what most people go by these days.
there are thousands more people playing to the values, alot will chance each time like on the 12th and even today because more people are trading than ever before.
i tend to only use the market place when im buying and selling creds, when im trading rares for rares i use habbox.
