Err.. I've never really been a big trader but I remember the days when I got thrones for like 95 HCs.. woo. Well of course I remember when they were 15 HC but I never had the furniture to spare! :P
I managed to get a Organ for 1c due to the fact the person was leaving :)

Haha it would take alot of HCs to buy one now
Well as I am a big trader one of my weekly news articles is about my trading habits and the good deals I have got throughout the week, if you fancy reading it you can do so here: https://habbox.com/#!/News/article/1102
One of the greatest trade is actually in that article, 35 black holes for 12c. However, before the merge I managed to get an Orange tree for 5c. I also remember selling my Super Rare Yellow Rug (was about 16 hc at the time) and the Orange Tree was the same price so I traded the Rug for the Orange Tree and because many Habbos were loyal to Habbox values back then, me and the trader refreshed Habbox after the sale and found the Orange Tree had just been updated to 18 hc :D!
HC's were 13-15c.
Your news article was really good, I hate it when you get really good bargains but no one wants to buy the furni from you :@Quote:

Wow thats insane!
I remember I bought a Sand Dragon for 6c , and sold it for about 15. Nearly 3x profit haha

I can't really remember, I think it was purchasing gold cup trophies for 100c each and selling em 250c per
Wow nice!!
probably buying an orange tree off somebody for 20c, it was worth about 90c or something at the time?
Just bought some theatre curtains for 4c :D
I sold a marquee ( dont remember the colour :l ) for like 70c when it's only worth 10c lol
Three trades which come to mind, all on the UK hotel as since the merge, I've had nothing but bad luck :P!
- Buying a green oriental screen for 1T and selling it the next day for 4T (then being offered 6T.. But I'd already sold it :P).
- I did also decide to invest in an ICM set when all ICM prices were fairly low, and made around 10T profit from reselling them not too long after.
- When blue pillows first came out, I collected them and then sold my collection (of about 50?) for 13T and soon after their value plummeted, which was lucky for me :P.
i bought the cupid statue from some1 for 1c and sold it for like 20 to some noob. i know it's not much but this is my greatest trade moment :(
Sounds good to me :D
Back in the day when HC sofas were 14c, they tried doing the quick scam on me and gave me 2 paddling pools which were like 20c each at the time or something and I beat the scammer to it and made a huge profit.
buying a moodi machine for like 70hc when they first came out and making a couple of thrones profit of them with luke lool :P
Oh I sold a Dicemaster other month for 12c, they were only worth 4/5.
Also got a Sand Dragon for 4c (resold 22c.), Volturi Chair for 3c (resold 12c), Love Carp for 5c (resold 7c) and some other stuff yesterday.
in 2005 i won some big competition at habbohut with becs (anyone remember her, sob) and i won like 4 thrones and i sold them off for like 30 hcs when a hc was worth 25 rubber duckiezzzz. was gr8.
Quite a few years ago but buying a load of orange paras when they were worth a lot after they were put on sale by mistake and selling them for a huge profit!
Someone gave me a goldbar for a gold coin 'cause they thought it was worth more and I wasn't about to argue XD
Omg elfie someone said that to me but I kicked them :L
I remember when the black iced furni was only in the cata for a month or something and I bought at least 2 of each and after a while I sold them all for about 50c :D Brilliant profit.
If anyone has received any good deals this week, feel free to post them in this thread and I might use yours in my next weekly article!
I keep getting random deals atm.
1 throne for 100c :)
When I bought 4 petal patches for 4c :)
Oh yea lol, until you decided to sell them without telling me :P! I'm sure ludus or someone told us there was going to be loads more given out, yet there never was.. :P.Quote:

I never really seem to get any fabulous deals, I'm usually the one giving those deals because I'm desperate to sell stuff (like when I did a 24 for 1c shop....). Anyway, I guess I haven't got any great deals other than when I got a petal patch for 14c, but that's not a huge profit. There have been times when I could have got these profits but I just didn't really want to get the better of someone, so I mostly tell people that they're selling it too cheap unless the person it belongs to is annoying and I would like to some how get a profit from that person.
