The Russian Samovar Scandal

[Art]

There is nothing to discuss?

I would like t know what happened. Like how did he get found out?

Why did he do it anyway? I find the whole situation quite amusing.

That changed fast I would like to know more too.

[Ed.]

This is what I remember of it.

At the time I was working in the Rare Values Team and Dan said "You should buy Russian Samovars, they're increasing in price"

So I bought quite a few.

The general Habbo population could see on Habbox that the value of Russian Samovars was increasing so us Rare Value reporters were reporting on the increasing value of the Russian Samovars.

This went on for a while and they kept going up and up.

Eventually something happened and it happened fast - everyone went to Dan's room and he was selling hundreds of russian samovars for a high price and once he had sold them all, the price of Russian Samovars slowly started to decline.

I think it came out that he had initially boosted the prices after he'd bought a load so that buyers would want them due to their ever increasing price.

As a result Dan was fired and I think that all of us Rare Values Reporters were replaced too because Sierk didn't want the team that had been there during this scandal.

That's my vague memory of it.

Lol I do have reasons of changing mood fast.
I remember being on the values team last year before getting fired. I had a collection of about 18 samovars, sold them when they were like 3hc each then they went up to like 5hc. I blamed Dan for that lol.
And at least Dan saw the error of his ways.

Dan (-:undertaker:-) made a mistake but I'm confidently sure that he has learnt from that mistake and therefore I feel that he does not deserve to have to listen to all this again. I'm sure it's an event of his past which he wants to forget about and we should help him do that.

Why even bring this up. At the end of the day, although it did go up far to fast, the entire hotel didn't help. Considering the whole hotel was like 'SAMOVERS ARE GONNA BE SUPERS. PAY ME LOADS FOR MINE'. Heck I had ten before it happened - made 30hc on every single one.

Leave Dan alone.

yeah, so pointless.

it was just the thought that samovars should technically be a super which made some craze and a few people a lot.
