Habbox Rare Values are Rubbish!

[Wootzeh]

Habbox don't set them they just report how many hcs/thrones were worth.

Yes ash, but the tubmaster repeats, unlike the HC ;p so thats justified in a sense... However, where the blue plasto set is concerned - it makes no sense. I can assure you, people would rather rare values be judged on how popular they are; how popular they are effect how much people are prepared to buy them - thats why they go down when they are given as prizes in competitions or something. How many there are is the root of all values, long term.

If you look at the bottom of this weeks newsie article, you will see a list of the most rarest catalogue rare furni. However, when i read this, and decided to compare the list with habbox's; it just didn't add up.

According to the newsie article, this is the top 10 rarest catalogue rare items, starting from rarest to less rarest -


1. Bird Bath (Grey)
2. Orange Parasol
3. Hammock
4. Bronze Elephant
5. Bird Bath (Green)
6. Silver Elephant
7. Holiday Romance
8. Aloe Vera
9. Red Pillow
10. White Oriental Screen


Now, lets have a look at the way habbox have theirs in order from rarest to less rarest -

1. Bird Bath (Grey)
2. Bronze Elephant
3. Bird Bath (Green)
4. Silver Elephant
5. Orange Parasol
6. Aloe Vera
7. Holiday Romance
8. Hammock
9. Red Pillow
10. White Oriental Screen


As you will see, the following items are not in correct ranking order - 'Orange Parasol, Hammock, Bronze Elephant, Green Bird Bath, Silver Elephant, Aloe Vera.' Even though the other 3 items are in the correct ranking, you will alos notice that habbox say that there are items rarer than those top 10... For example -

According to Habbox, the Petal Patch of which is a catalogue rare - is said to be more rare than an Aloe Vera - but... it's not because the petal patch doesn't even appear in the top 10!

The Hologirl, according to habbox is more rare than the holiday romance, yet, the Hologirl isn't in the top 10, but the holiday romance is.

The Red and Blue Amber are more rare than the holiday romance too, and they aren't in the top 10!

Same goes for the Red Dragon, Green Parasol, Yellow Parasol, Lappland Greetings, Purple Parasol, Snow Globe, Speakers Corner and Icecream machine. ALL of these items are made out to be rarer than the White Oriental Screen, however... the white oriental screen is 10th in the top 10, and none of these are in the top 10.

I think we should stop following such rubbish, and unreliable rare values - that are judged on what the rare value staff want, not whats best for the habbo public. If this lot are wrong, what else can be wrong - The Super rares... hah, I mean... you consider how a HC plasto set is worth WAY more than a HC sofa - when, it should be worth much more, because it's exclusively 2nd month of habbo club, unlike the HC sofa, which is exclusively 1st month of Habbo Club.

Anyway, thats all i wanted to say, thanks

The values aren't done on rare-ity, but on demand for the item.

May I just say, we dnt run our values on how rare a item is, we run it on what we see traded?

If you guys start selling thoses particular items at expensive prices, and we pick up on it, it will be changed.

You guys can do yourselves favours by trading those rares at higher prices, not us.

i agree

and some people like a rare more than something else so the price goes up

Its just when there is a high demand, it goes up, and when there is a low demand and it goes down

If a new rare comes out in catalouge and no one likes it cos it rubbish and ugly, just cos there is less and no one buys it doesnt mean the price would be high

[Seacat]

I dunno, personally I see alot more Thrones than other rares, e.g. blue ambers, green birdbaths or aloe veras, so does that mean that as the Aloe Vera is sighted less, it is rarer, therefore worth more than the Throne? Would you pay 19HC for an Aloe Vera? :p

[Cheezy2]

Exactly ash ;p ... btw! How did your driving lesson go?

[YellowParasol]

Rare values are random and un predictable. On the habbox rare values page it is clearly stated that those values are a guide.

You may follow whatever rare values you wish to, we at habbox do not command you to do everything our way and it would be stupid to expect such a thing.

Obviously it is hard to maintain a clear view of values, as they change so often. Habbox tries hard to keep an accurate value for each rare but sometimes it just cannot be achieved. If you feel that you have a more accurate view of what the rare vlaues should look like, then please tell the rare values reporters in this forum

I willl say again that Habbox has no control over any rare value, and it's posted values are a simple guide to help the habbo public and stop them from completing in-accurate trades.

I agree with that. Its not like a Law that you HAVE to use them, its your own Choice. Its simply just a Guide for Traders.

[Wootzeh]

And habbos rare chart doesn't help you with trading at all.

[Seacat]

Hehe it went absolutely great :p Didnt crash so that's a good sign, talk on messenger :p

Exactly ash ;p ... btw! How did your driving lesson go?

[Smiddy]

Exactly ash ;p ... btw! How did your driving lesson go?

didnt you just contridict yourself there? :s

the values are techincally controlled by you lot, sometimes you dnt seem to understand that situation.

You do the trading, we just report it
