Super Rare Valuations

[.trek.]

Many people are getting concerned with the decline in values of super rares over the past few months which seems to be directly connected Habbox’s interpretation of throne/hc/super value and it would be helpful if someone from Habbox could explain how you arrive at the values you have published on the site.

This is an example below of where the confusion is coming from:

If a super, say a gold dragon in this instance is sold for 9 thrones and the value of the throne at the time is 145hc’s then the value of that super “at the time” would be 9 thrones (1305hc’s) - yes?

Then some time later the value of a “throne” rises to say 165hc’s

Now, my question is, is the super still worth 9 thrones “the original price paid” which at today’s values @165hc’s per throne would equal 1,485 hc’s or has the super gone down in value, even though none have been traded since which would be the indication from Habbox.com.

I would be grateful for any imput to this subject from the Habbox team or users which will help us understand the valuation system a little better and why super values are declining without being traded.

I would imagine it is still 9 thrones (your example) but this could just be your example. We find our values by the MarketPlace and what we see it traded as. The values panel is soon to be updated completely so when that comes you should get the most accurate possible.

This is just MY opinion though and I'll get management to take a look.

Thanks for the reply Sharon

I simply used the figures from Habbox.com lol - gold dragon was 9T (1305hc) it is now 7T 150hc (1305hc) so that actually means it is not worth 9T anymore?

How is that worked out if that super has not been traded. Shouldnt it read 9T (1485hc)?

If people start to pay less for the dragon because of the increase in the throne value, that's what brings the value down. As I've seen with other rares and such, once the hc/throne/credit, value goes down, if people starting paying less for it then that's what makes the values go down.

I will also redirect this to management so that you can get a managers point of view

You obviously don't understand what the thread is about MILLWALL hence "trialist" The thread isn’t about what furniture is trading at.

That's what makes the values go down or not... Values of the trade is what makes the values on the site go up... Also as you said in your first post, if there is none traded, then the value of the HC stays the same because HC's have dropped to 5 credits

Exactly!!! I agree with you 100%, so why has Gold Drag gone down without being traded? (You can refer to my original post if you like for figures)

To be honest, in this case I am not sure... The only thing that I could be thinking it is, is that the HC value stayed the same, and the throne value went down... So I imagine that in this case, they were going by the value of the HC's and not the throne, so that is why the throne value is down. I will ask Elle (Faboosh) why this has changed and get her to post in here

EDIT: I have just looked at the value on the site, and by the looks of it, it looks like they are going by the value of the HC sofa, so the decrease in the HC sofa has affected the value in the throne side

The values are worked out in HCs, not thrones. If the value of the throne goes up it won't affect how many HCs the throne is worth, just how many thrones. So in this case the dragon was 1305HC but supers show the value in thrones too, so it would've also shown as 9T. The throne value then went up meaning you can get less thrones for 1305HC . The rare is worth the same, but because of the increase in the value of thrones it looks like the rare's dropped.

I *think* that's how it goes anyway

I agree tbh thats what I *think* also
