    once habbos start to realise how they over paid for items. then try to sell for more or what they paid for them..
    we'll see prices being flushed down the toilet.

    I was looking at prices last night... absolutely amazing the scale of the rise. That said, the question of whether prices can sustain themselves depends entirely on he amount of credits (inflation) put into the system. My guess is that although rares have doubled in prices, the amount of credits in the system haven't doubled which means the items are overpriced and will come crashing down.

    Thinking back to a similar situation. If anyone remembers on the 10th August 2012 when Sulake accidentally made it so you could get discounts in the Habbo Exchange (5gbs for the price of 4) a number of people took advantage of this and suddenly there was a huge influx of credits into the system - and what happened the prices? Thrones jumped from 400c to 1000c, then just to pretty much plummet back to where they were previously once Sulake fixed the Exchange. However now it is slightly different as its over a much longer period of time..

    I can't see prices slowing down until double credits ends. Although once the credit pool has started to dry out maybe a week or so after the promotion ends, the economy will begin to stagnate and eventually see an inevitable decline in prices.

    Thats my take on it all anyway.

    Accurate description, but still can't help but laugh at the idea of hyperinflation on habbo lol
