The rare values are nothing to do with how many items there are, it depends on how much people want the rares.

If rare traders suddenly think "Oh, the Aloe Vera is really rare" and they start trading it for higher values, that will be reflected in the values on Habbox. People don't like the Aloe Vera because its completely rubbish, frankly, thats why it doesn't have a high value.

I'm sure someone has made a post completely better than this, so I'll leave it to them to explain.

Edit: Sweet_Rosey on the previous page put it brilliantly .

Hi,
We rare values reporters put a lot of work into getting values for all you Habbos. If you don't like them they don't use them. Don't make threads about it either it's just silly. Keep your thoughts to yourself.

Also, and to answer the other debate about "do Habbox set the rare values":

Habbox has a huge influence on the rare values, it is undeniable. The values will never be "set" by Habbox because of greedy people and desperate people.

Desperate people will either sell their rares for too little, or buy them for too much. Greedy people will either sell their rares for too much or trade with a desperate person to get a great deal.

All the time that this happens, the values will change - and it always will happen.

The fact is, Habbox got popular through its rare values and has remained popular for them. In the beginning, Habbox was only known for its rare values and now its known for loads of stuff. The rare values will not be removed for any reason, unless something unexpected happens.

But you HAVE to use the values if you want to trade because everyone else does! And yes, habbox prices are rigged, but it has nothing to do with how many of an item exist, just if the rare valuers want to sell theirs or want to stir something up. THe birdbaths and the nellys have gone up so much its unbeleiveable. And as 8freak8 said above, the aloe vera is rubbish, so how can its price jump from around 1.5 to 3 hcs in a matter of days if you are pricing them honestly?

EDIT: Wrong section dude. Not habbo news or rumours.

RIGHT! LISTEN UP! I AM DIVIDED ON THIS ISSUE AND I THINK EVERYONE NEEDS TO BE FLAMED AT BECAUSE THIS IS GETTING OUT OF HAND!

THE HABBOX RARE VALUES ARE BASED ON THE MEDIAN OF THE PRICE THAT THEY SEE. THIS I THINK IS AN ALRIGHT WAY OF DOING IT - BUT NOT FOR HABBOX (THE LEADING RARE VALUES) BECAUSE PEOPLE TREAT THEM AS LAW SO THERE IS VERY LITTLE LE-WAY OF TRADING MOVEMENT.

I (TRY) TO USE HABBOX RARE VALUES AND FIND THEM (OKAY) TO USE... THEY GIVE A FAIR VALUE BUT VALUING THE SMALLER ITEMS I WOULDNT SAY IS FAIR. I WOULD ALSO GO ON TO SAY THAT THE VALUE-ERS HAVE ALOT OF VALUING THE THRONE - THIS NEEDS TO BE OVERSEEN A LITTLE BIT MORE AND SO THE VALUE-ERS CANNOT EDIT THE THRONE TO INCREASE THERE WORTH SO THEY CAN SELL T HEIR ITEMS FOR MORE...

I THINK A BETTER WAY OF CALCULATING RARE VALUES IS HAVING MAYBE 50/100 REGULAR (TRUSTED) RARE TRADERS CAN INPUT THEIR TRADE INFO AND THEN THE VALUES COULD BE WORKED OUT ON HOW MANY 'TRADES AGAINST THE SYSTEM' THERE HAVE BEEN AND HOW MANY 'TRADES USING THE SYSTEM' YOU CAN THEN WORK OUT THE MEAN AVERAGE - THEREFORE GIVING A 'FAIRER' AVERAGE - BUT THESE TRADES MAY STILL BE INFLUENCED BY HABBOX VALUES - BECAUSE 95% USE THEM NOT AS A GUIDE, BUT AS LAW, THEREFORE MAKING IT HARD FOR THE VALUES TO CHANGE PROPERLY...

It's probably best to PM sierk about specific problems with the rare values (but not general problems like Cheezy2's point).
