Lately I have been noticing alot of people in trade rooms offering about 1-2 hc sofas or thrones lower than they know what you can get for them. Why? because, if you buy them for 1 or 2 hc or thrones cheaper then you can sell them at 1 or 2 hc or throne more than what you bought it for. Some people call it greed, I call it smart trading with a little greed on the side. Now there are some people such as sweetygirl1 and even rollablader that believe that rares shouldnt have values, so they will sell stuff cheap. Though it is smart to try to save habbo cash(rares), but while you are saving other people are losing. Now for some odd reason throne dropped enormously in the past 3-4 days. Habbox has them at 16.5 and the offers are going at 15 - 15.5. Greed?, or just smart trading?

Im not saying that Habbox is wrong just saying.. Hwo does Habbox get its values? cos ppl sell em for 21 or so thats wut they worth so it shud b more even if ppl offer 15. Notice that furni shop owners want more than wut their furni is. Thats smart and profitous trading

Think of it this way. I trade, I've made profit, but at the same time, every trader has lost somehting, by a bad deal. I think it's kind of both. I consider it a ripoff if in no situation a person with trading knowledge would accept it. Example- hc for my 6 thrones. But it isn't if the person is overpaying for something they want. EX- study for my throne. Depends who asks for deal.

I believe the best idea to have in your mind when trading is Karma. What goes around comes around.
Be good and good things will happen.
Be bad and you better watch out!
I find doing good deals for certain habbos gives me good luck. Also gives me joy that i have made someone else happy
Really, really, do not rip other habbos off-
1. Its not nice
2. It doesnt exactly get you in anyones good books
3. Karma is gona get you for it!

I'm not a Karma believer, but the hard part is knowing the difference between good deal and ripoff.

Well I think Habbox Values is good. For me, someone could get me easily with that because I don't know anything about rares and furni. Well things like no fair trades should be stopped
