Do you think their prices will increase as it gets closer to xMas and whats the maximum it will reach?
Also will it drop AFTER Christmas?

Thanks.

Whenever a special occasion is near (e.g. Halloween, Christmas, Easter), the relative rares soar in value due to high demand. This is because people want to make themed rooms for the occasion.

I think the highest Snow Globes will go is around 2.0 to 2.5 CS, but after Christmas, they'll probably drop back down to around 1.5 CS.

i would agree with that, although maybe not with the Easter part of it...

i could'nt even give Easter stuff away when i did some Easter giverways lol

Okay, maybe not Easter, then.

Easter rares don't soar because there's never easter room comps.

The snowglobes will peak a week or two before christmas, then the market will be flooded with sellers and thus plumet. That's what happened last time they soared like this a few years ago, 2, i think.

Last time (2007) they collapsed on themselves, and did the same in 2006. There were too many in supply and not enough demand, they dropped from around 2.5 CS back down to a mere 0.8 - 1.2 CS around 1/2 weeks before Christmas Day.

Christmas furniture is a very risky business, if you don't get it right then your only hope to sell them without making a loss is one year later.
