The ione Gifts [Discussion]

[-:Undertaker:-]

Thread closed: The ione gifts are staying in the normal rares category.
A few days ago in the Rare Values Forum DawnOfAaron made a thread saying when were the ione gifts given out, so people answered how they were given out and when, then Aaron said "well shouldn't they be supers" and he is right.

Habbox have had the Thrones, Samovars and Holopods in the wrong section for years, they ARE supers.

Some of you may say "There not supers because they are low in value", well this isn't the case, the Red Knot Poster was once a super and was 0.8 CS, A super can be ANY Price.

For all we know, if Habbox would of classed the ione gifts as supers years ago, Samovars couldve been 15 CS now but have suffered because many people think they are just common normal rares.

I want your opinions on this, Thrones can't get damaged in value if they move to the supers page were they belong, and it will be easier for rare traders to see thr Thrones value if it's on supers as it's the main currency for super rares. - CA have their Throne on their supers page.

sierk says that he doesn't class them as supers because there were LOTS of ione gifts given out. I don't think that's the case, does that mean the dino/gold amber should be a Normal Rare instead of the Strobe because there are less strobes? no it doesn't, it matters on how they are given into the public.

So what are all your opinions on this?, do you think Habbox should correct the ione gifts and move them to were they should of been 2 years ago?

Discuss and ask questions!

The Throne, Holopod and Russian Samovar were the first non seasonal rares ever. They came into the hotel around May/June 2002, when every habbo received a gift and 5 free credits because of ione (the Hotel Manager at that time) her birthday. The gift contained one of these three furni. Because there were so many of them, they weren't worth much in the beginning, but especially the value of the Throne has gone up spectacularly. In sierk's museum you can see two of these gifts that have remained unopened, on the right you can see what the label says.

A super in my opinion is somethat that has not been released in the catalogue.

So Ione's gifts are supers.

[Kieeran]

Doesnt habbox quote something like ' super rares are rares which have never been released in the catalogue. I agree with you.

[-:Undertaker:-]

ione gifts haven't been in the catalogue.

[Nixt]

I would agree that they are super rares, as I believe it is generally accepted that if something has been released in the catalogue (not accidentally released) then they are super rares?

[jackass]

I agree with sierk, as I already said. Yes, its true, they weren't released in the catalouge. BUT, they weren't spawned by habbo staff or given out individually, they were mass given out in a present. So if everyone had them in that time, it can't be classed as a super. I think you we should make a 'Past rares section' where things like those gifts, limited time special things and stuff goes.

Thats completely differant to what I just said. Not everyone had purple ICM's did they? No.

It doesn't matter, just because there are so many of something doesn't mean they aren't a super.

Not everyone got a gift, only those that were online within that month I believe.

And quantity has nothing to do with a price.

There are more Thrones then Green Pillows but Thrones are worth more, because they're more in demand
