Guide of suggested median prices for collectibles

[SharJoY]

Members - please back off. I have been following the posts on here and previous ones in regards to collectibles and the pricing and such....it is now repetitive, and stooping to being bullish and harassing.

Some very good suggestions were made (repeatedly) to just msg or post Lassy as to how much you have sold a collectible. Then it is her decision as to when/whether it warrants a price adjustment. Also, members need to stop bashing when someone does post a need for a price adjustment.

Please just stop and allow some calm and peace back in.

Wow you guys partied while I was gone to the hospital :9
I just changed the pricing, the links Daniel has provided are from yesterday morning (of GMT+2) and there were 100 more of each of the collectibles. So the prices should drop. And the current recent sales prove that people don't find as many customers, hence they drop their prices. I just stretched the pricing so that it is more approximate.

this thread is the most entertaining thread ever

Just added this line : "
The lower ends of prices are the prices some BUYERS are willing to buy. The higher ends of prices are the prices some SELLERS willing to sell."

Hope it'll be clearer and better. :3

Yup, much better!

Although, guys, I am puzzled, why aren't sellers bumping up the price a bit for the swirl? It costs a bit more in the store, right? Anyways, this is fun, marketplace has not been this lively in a while.

Sellers are undercutting each others prices

The prices are dropping faster then I thought they would, actually. My guess would be after the very last restock, there will be a bump up for a bit, then it will drop again. After all, not everyone has the multiple obsession you and I have (10 peaches! 5 eggs!). Ha, ha. Most people are just happy with one of each. Eventually everyone who wants one will have one, and then I think there will STILL be an excess.

I agree with you, once the restocks are over and giveaways are over, there may be a bump in prices but once everyone gets one, it'll drop again.

Just reporting what I am seeing here, Lassy, it's morning on the Pacific coast... I see two sellers doing really brisk business - they have priced their beach collectibles at 200 TBT. And they are selling fast. I really do feel the pain of the sellers who are not on US time. When they are bumping their threads, not as many people are looking at the market.

Yeah, most people who are interested in collectibles already own one. And they don't need more. Some sellers don't like to keep too long those extra collectibles, hence they'll want to sell faster their collectibles, so they drop their prices.

Said I'd report back xD I only found one person looking to sell their February birthstone (thanks Sholee :3) and I purchased it for 700 BTB. I'd think it'd be the most expensive, as Feb/Mar are both about 6 months away from their initial sale, and 6 months away from their next sale.

In other news. Who needs daytime TV when you have this thread xD I'm personally in the camp of people will get what people are willing to pay, so if people are willing to pay 20k for a super rare item, it's the price. It sucks for new people, but we all need dreams and artificially deflating the market does as much good as artificial inflation.

I think the hoarders are like.. Noooooo lol

 

[Vizionari]

Bump!

I'm hoping to get the May and June birthstones but they're pretty expensive Dx ah well. At least I don't have to keep stocking the restocks now (thank you Chibi.Hoshi <3)

 

[LyraVale]

Can anyone explain the birthstones situation to me? I've always only got my 1 each month, so I didn't pay attention. Can you own more than 1? And you can sell it more than once (so if you buy it from someone else, you can resell it to someone else later)?

I know there's a restriction on them, but I don't get what it is exactly.

Gah, I thought I understood what it was, but I just thought about it and realized I have no clue! lol
