    Default Habbox Set Values

    I dont play habbo much anymore. its turned into a bit of a joke of a place. Most people i knew have left or sold up etc. As did i but i came back to see how things were going.

    Cant believe how bad its gotten and i partially blame habbox for this. I opened a rare shop and most people wont even offer me when its my shop. They say "i dont offer soz" or "let me check habbox" then say "NO WAY ITS 1.6345 hc on habbox"

    To top it all off is the samovars. Who is actually paying that price to raise them? nobody is the answer. Habbox have decided they are now super rares as they havent been released. Took how long guys? 3 or 4 years to increase nearly 5 or 6 times their value.
    Neither the samovar or the holopod have ever reached over 5hcs before and now both are way ahead and seem to be going up.

    Anyways my rant is that habbox ruins habbo. Im not sure if many of you remember habbo before habbox had their rare values but it was a much nicer place where people didnt get ripped off cos they just traded what they wanted. They single handedly have made people greedy about richness and values.
    One website holds the power to raising or lowering the rare values which shouldnt be the case. Alot of people need to think for themselves and not let a website tell them how much something is worth. I know the rare reporters are supposed to report on how much they are going for. But in truth i have known previous head rare trader value reporters to collect a certain rare and then up the price and then sell on. Wont name name's but i know this for myself which is half the reason i dislike the whole idea.

    Just wanted to say that. All is my opinion of course

    There are 2 sides to this story, although some people might abuse power, its us who decide. Rare Value Reporters go scouting around for how much people are selling rares, and when they see a common trend, they change the value.

    I was a trader well before habbox rare values and it was so much easier to make good profits from the noobs who had no idea of values.
    I think habbox as a guide helps everybody but there isnt much profit to be made anymore.
    If I need something I will pay more than habbox values but if i dont need a item offered then i offer less and lots seem to sell for less.

    Russian Samovar, Holopod and Throne should of been Supers A LONG TIME AGO, All we did is posted a Poll seeing what people thought about us maybe correcting them.

    It's all your fault that they are rising as you are the one's paying more and more every day.

    Incase you haven't noticed Russian Samovars are harder to find than Dino Eggs so it makes sence people paying more for them.

    Please name the Head Rare Values Reporter who apparently set values, then again there probley isn't one.

    You all pay 3T+ for Dino Eggs when they are easier to find than Samovars, so what is the difference?

    People want to pay 20 CS+ for Samovars, let them! is it because you haven't got one that your upset or something?

    I don't have a White Smoke and i'm not moaning that it's 23T

    You're being hyprocritical, you're saying that Habbox values are bad because everyone is greedy with them, and that it was better before they came because it was easier to make a profit?
    I think Habbox values are definately needed, okay, it's annoying when your rares go up and down like a roller coaster but it's better than not knowing what they're being sold for and being completely ripped off. The values were a mess before Habbox started valuing them.
