UK Market Decline

[The Professor]

You just admitted that the whole economy is based on these guides, which aren't used as guides, they are used as what they are 'worth' to most habbos, which in turn are sold for 'profit' which is then recorded by reporters and up the price, and people therefore sell for 'profit' again. Tbh, you should scrap the whole HC/CS system, because it just results in inflation as more club sofas come into circulation. You should base it on credits, as they have an exchange rate to real cash.

The economy IS based on the guides in the same way that the guides are based on the economy. The guides report on what people are prepared for an item, the people check the guide to check theyre not being ripped off then trade for what theyre prepared to trade for. Reporters report this, the cycle continues. The guides alone arent responsible for prices, but they help people with less knowledge of the economy get a fair price.

We will not scrap the HC/CS system any time soom because changing a well established system doesnt work. We learnt that when we thought of putting the throne, holoboy and samovar in the super rares section. We really don't want another one of those, and as this system seems to work well I dont see any reason to change it.

EDIT: I agree totally with the post above.

To be honest there are too many rares on the hotel them and rares arent really rare any more and same with supers u see supers in most rooms now this could have something to do with it aswell every week theres something released

Nellys now go for 5 CS each and Orange Parasols are collapsing along with basically everything else.

I wonder if we'll see another summer like summer 2006 in the rares market?

[tinyjosh01]

may i ask what happened summer 2006?

[Flabbyman]

We saw all rares hit there highest ever prices, it lasted all summer

White Birdbath: 17 CS
Green Birdbath: 15 CS
Nellys: 13 CS
Hammocks and Holiday Romances: 4.5 - 5 CS
Petals: 5.2 CS

Many more that had risen during that summer aswell.

I'll definetly be selling for thrones, from reading this thread. I remember when rare furni were rare, and you might only see one in say, every 5-10 rooms. Now, at a quick count, there's over 300 different pieces?

I think you should post how many credits normal rares are worth as well as HC/CSs. That way, you'll set the credits at a fixed rate.

I think Habbo could fix this problem. Simple, release the current recolour's as normal furni. = more people buying. Then, when they release rares say, 4 times a year = more demand = more people buying.
