Do Habbox rare values still have any influence?

[-:Undertaker:-]

It was scary how much power Habbox had. I think you and I are both thinking of the same situation that spiralled out of control!

That's the extreme example of course, but that was something that ran on rumours which upped the price naturally although was still something due to Habbox. I am thinking more of the many examples of when Rare Values Managers accidently put the wrong value in for an item (so say the Eid Mubarak from 7 CS to 17 CS), they'd go to bed and the next day when they came home from school and logged on the hotel, trading was going insane with people selling them for 17 CS.

A simple mistake yet it had a big impact. Could it have been manipulated if you were clever and subtle enough? aye.

I loved stuff like that, I remember back in the day selling my Amber Floor Rug for an Orange Tree (both worth 14 CS back then), and as soon as we traded that the Orange Tree value jumped up to 18CS. It was a great day for me and it was always the place I went for to look at values.

I don't use the Market Place too often, I always use Habbox for Teleport values and then I find out I'm majorly under charging for mine . However, the values aren't just there to see how much something is, Habbox is great in terms of finding furniture you need an image or motto of as well!

Obviously not as they used to be, but still used as a backup as others have said whenever you have rares that aren't listed in the MP, have been manipulated and so on. I prefer it [trading] pre-MP of course, but it was kinda scary/amazing just how much influence Habbox and only Habbox had: I don't think people understand how much power over the whole hotel economy the deparment had, and especially in the earlier days specifically the Rare Values Manager.

It was amazing actually how seemingly non-corrupt the department/individual managers were. If they were clever enough, they could have made a fortune.

I personally don't think Habbox has that much influence anymore.

its a useful guide for teleporters and rarely traded items or no mp avg. still has importance in that area as well.

Maybe it because I don't really use Habbo too much anymore but I've not noticed Habbox being used in conversation in relation to values for years. I do remember back in the day when it was like the bible though. Everyone seems to go by the market place these days... I guess it's different for proper rares.
