    What if I had a rare, that only me had. I was 'selling' it and then I get my 'mate' to buy it for '25t' would the price soon shoot up to 25t? Then my 'mate' could sell it onto another 'mate' for 30t then he could sell it back to me for 40t. I've just made a 15t profit effectively by pretending to sell it with my mates in order to get the price up.

    Does that make sense?

    Well you haven't really made a profit as it''s just you and your mate trading, also once you try and sell it to the general public I doubt it would go for anywhere near 40T, Look at the White Smoke how rapidly that fell.

    I dont agree with it shooting down to 6T, i think Habbox have had their rare values wrong ALOT of the time lately. For example. Moon patches are alot more exspensive then what Habbox are putting them at. Bring Dan back. Habbox rare values seemed correct and good. (No offence to the rare value guys at the moment)

    Hence why I said 'effectively'. But then Habbox would consider valuing that rare at 40t and someone may buy it.. ?

    I don't really care about it anyway !

    This thread is quite interesting.

    It is sometimes really hard to get an accurate value for Super rares that are not often traded because when their is very few and people who have them get permed, the value in an ideal Habbo would increase however this isnt often the case.

    We try to look very carefully to get the value as accurate as possible and bearing in mind that habbox values is a guide i hope that most are fairy accurate to what the public are buying at.

    This comes to my final point, there is possibly around 15-30 reporters mostly in the Rare Values Department and obviously we cannot watch the 1000's of rare trades per week, so if you help us by posting in the Report Rare Values forum especially with rares and stating who sold them it helps us greatly.

    Need a domain but dont have paypal... not to worry. You can purchase a domain via text or home phone at XeoDomains.mobi.

    Which brings me to this conclusion:

    Why dont we price super rares on the amount that are on the hotel?

    Yes there are around 15 - 30 Reporters, so why aren't values top notch anymore?, it's like since the old team resigned; DaWnOfAaRoN, Kaytti, Holo-Jonny and so on, it's gone downhill since they left, and onto the point of super rares it isn't that hard. Jake has added a few supers which has made it much better from a few weeks ago, but Habbox is still missing Urban Iced, Rural Iced, Romantique, Minibar Safes, Yellow Mode and there's more and more of it which is not on Habbox. Some like the Solariums were released months ago and are still not there.

    No excuses to be frank.

    That isn't rare valueing, firstly we don't know how many Dino's, Gold Ambers, Purple Dragons, Red Birdbaths, Blue Birdbaths, Security Fences, Army Plasto Chairs and more are on the hotel and that changes all the time, and what method would you use?, would 100 mean 5 CS or 5T?

    If you think about it, you look for the amount of traded taken place over say, a month. Then, you could collate the prices traded at and calculate an average. You could quite easily stage a fake trade with a mate/clone while a RVR reporter was in the room with the current system.

    You: Wanna trade (e.g) Dino for 50T?
    Clone: Sure.

    RVR Reporter: "!!!! its 1OOT!!"

    Yes but hardly anyone does that and we knew when people were faking trades. Also you say collate an adverage, but what if 100 Dino's were just sold by 1 person, it floods the market.

    No one would go by it anyway.

    Of course it would go downhill since those three left and then joined HHGS. :rolleyes:
