What are your trading REGRETS?

Hmm. Possibly buying a number of Pink Marquees which still sit on my old account. Although they've held value, they're very niche items and few in number - meaning selling just one could have destabilised the price. I just checked their price now and they've doubled... but still, it took years for any movement and I was worried about being saddled with them.

It's the classic 'will I be stuck with these and fighting to fob them off' against 'might I be the only one left with these and so setting the price?' gamble.

Back when confirming a trade just involved an instantaneus tick (during the shockwave days I think, not sure if it was periodically like this during flash) I remember quick trading being quite popular. They'd sell some expensive item, like a throne, for an hc sofa. They'd trade you the throne, tick, untick, cancel, and repeat this a few times and swap the throne sometimes for something like a red plasto, hoping they'd trick you. This quick trader was quite daring and did tick the box for a milisecond before canceling the throne trade, and retrading and trying to get me to give them an hc sofa for a red plasto or something like that. They traded me several times, sometimes it was the throne, sometimes it was a plasto. I thought I could outsmart the quick trader and get the throne. Wrong. There goes my hc sofa for worthless plasto chair.

Not sure of the actual items involved in the trade I had, but I think it was something like that.

haha I remember those days. Got stung a few times trying to out smart them

Story Time

It was way back in 2002....I'd gotten a present from an old Hotel Manager, it was a beautiful Throne! I loved that thing.

Unknown to me I'd I won 12 more of them in a competition shortly after! I'd entered and thought nothing of it, I never win anything. A week after I had won I came online, with no idea until I found people swarming my room asking to see them, wanting to be my friend. So I checked my hand and the Habbo News, It was true! I was hounded with trade offers for weeks, which I kept declining. At the time I think I was the Habbo with the most thrones, so honestly I was constantly overwhelmed with people asking me to trade them.

Later in the year HC was released and people were raving about Club Sofas, they were the new 'thrones' and peoples favourite must have item. Because my parents had banned me from using anymore of my phone credit at the time I couldn't join HC. Anyway, silly me ended up trading most of them for things like a few Club sofas each, a Holoboy for one and a Russian Samovar for another as I thought it would be cool to have each of the Hotel Managers gifts. Leaving me with 8 left. I should have never traded any of them or let people see them in my room.



....

Gosh I really loved those thrones and they helped me make quite a few new 'friends'. One of whom was a new fan site owner, it actually got pretty popular back in the day and Habbo linked to it. I enjoyed DJ'in and helping out with the site... but the owner was using it to gain my trust the whole time and one day sent me a link which I thought was related to the fan site. He hacked me, took absolutely everything I had, including my beautiful thrones and later teasing me over it Even though I'm sure there were chat logs, Habbo did nothing and believed the fan site owner over me.

I managed to get my account back, secure and debug my PC, but the damage had been done. I still use that 2002 account to this day and will forever miss my thrones. I will never own one again, not now

Note to self,
Don't trade Thrones for Clubs sofas or trust people on habbo! lol

I don't remember exactly how much and there aren't any in the mp so I'm not sure the avg, but I feel like they'd still hold their value. I honestly just feel this way anytime I sell anything!

You can never truly know with habbo .... it’s all based on luck I guess
