It's really weird how the eggs have gone down in price. During the event, I sold two of mine for 2.5k and 3k. Now they're all less than 2k! You'd think they'd go up, really.
Man, this system is weird, but it's truly, hands down, one of the best aha.
 
This is kind of irrelevant, but when you give a rare collectible to someone for free (not a raffle of anything, just giving it to them because they want it) and then you later find out they sold it for a really high price...

They've gone down because nobody has enough TBT bells, the rates have gone up ever since Easter, now people trade 5 M for 100 TBT and before it was like 1 M for 100 TBT. Just to get 1000 TBT, you'd have to trade 50 M Acnl which is an insane amount to trade and it takes too much time.

Those people aren't genuinely interested in the collectible.
I personally would be able to sell the ones I've earned/bought, but never the ones I was given. It's a question of principle for some people. Some people would careless since they're just pixels after all.
 
i have to say this guide also somewhat affects the prices. i remember trying to sell some collectibles for a little higher than what this guide suggested and basically all the replies were:

"you're selling for too much, Lassy's guide said its blah blah tbt"

its very hard to sell higher than what this guide suggest bc so many people follow this guides pricing to the penny.

Oh I wish people just took it as a suggestion, not as an excuse to lower or higher the prices. After all I base my guide on those trades, so if the stuff are sold more expensively (like chocolate cakes ) I change the price.
 
I'm also starting to see it happen in the Villager Trading Plaza with Hound00med's Villager Popularity thread where he now added the pricing for tiers.

Yeah, it's sort of the chicken or the egg kind of thing though. I've also had this happen when I was trying to sell, and honestly, I feel like people use guides as a negotiating tactic. Instead of being forthright and saying, I want a lower price, they hide behind the guide and say, well, the guide says it should be lower...

It cuts both ways, I think. Just as there are stubborn buyers who won't buy higher then the guide, there are also sellers who won't negotiate lower then the guide (even though there are no other interested buyers).

I think Lassy is doing a good job of just reflecting the market, to be honest. For a long time, Lassy priced choco cakes at 3-3.5K, but there was more then one buyer willing to pay over that, so over time, the guide caught up with the current market price. The guide also placed feathers at 10,000 or more, sellers began to lower the price and the guide caught up with that too. I think this guide helps more then it hurts.
 
Lassy, by the way, congrats on the winning design! Very, very cute. :)

Thanks :D
Such a a shame though I can't start an army of my own collectibles since it was 2 am my time ;-;
 
Erm, I don't think yhe yellow letter should have dropped 2k. Only 1 or 2 were restocked. ;-;
 
I think this guide is an excellent idea, it is not setting any prices in concrete but does give everyone some sort of ballpark idea of what a collectible might be worth. Well done Lassy for trying to keep it up to date, not an easy task.
