(prenerf) Circlet of Shadow Market Speculation

[DayForz]

I think it was last weekend I saw an auction of someone trying to sell one for 17k which seemed rather extreme. They do seem to be slowly trending up; seems like most auctions I see with prices are in the 10-12k range. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside that I bought mine for 8k several months ago.

This is how the fat cats manipulate shit up. Auction it for 17k from multiple different toons constantly for a while, then log on another toon and auction it for 14-15k. Some poor schmuck will buy it thinking he's getting a deal "I've seen em going for 17k lately!"

Not related to CoS, but it's funny to watch people speculate on shit that still drops. Bet the people that paid 50k+ for a T-Staff 6 months ago are really enjoying the return on their investment since "the patch is coming any day now!" (6 months ago).

It may be temporary, but the server population has taken a pretty significant drop lately. There's almost always at least 200 fewer people online than there used to be during the hours I play. A general rule of thumb is nothing that still drops should be going up in price unless it's impacted by a patch. T-Staff will eventually be impacted by a patch, but price nearly doubling over night was still absurd. Not like monk triple attack patch was a secret on this 18 year old game.

Need Schinkiccarsus' perspective on this.

He'll tell you the market is about to crash on them because of the new server coming, and offer to take them off your hands for 2k, but then turn around and sell them for 15k in the tunnel.

I don't see the price changing much. they bounce from 8-10k and have done this for 2 years now? For them to increase in value, I suspect many years will have to pass.

100% profit in a year wouldn't be a bad investment. Better than my plat sitting in a freeport savings account. I own one. Might have to own another.

the new server will double the current price for sure, and the huge amount here will pressure the price lower on new server. My guess is 50-75k on new server 15-25k on this server. The closer the merge the closer to 40-50k this item gets on blue1. Up from 2k per CoS this becomes the very best investment even better than elder beads. Ive written it before ie that CoS is and will keep being the best % investment ever on p99. Necro/SK> all so no need to mention the demand[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] i got 8x CoS still and will try sell them at 40-50k after server merge. Selling now is really the worst thing you can do unless you have a good chance at using that plat better. Id still prefer a safe investment over a risky. Soon 15k so dont worry if you bought one at 15k right after the removal happened.

You're like a guy in 1907 investing in horse whips.
