I'm not sure if you guys have noticed but I've seen a continued fall of Tails after 3.8 million, down to 3.5 million, and perhaps now to about 3.25 million. What do you usually value Tails at? Just curious. :3
PostPosted: Tue Nov 15, 2005 10:31 pm


Most of the time I value them at what I see them selling for. Most recently that's been 3.5mil..

I personally hope it goes down a bit more because after draining all my resources for minis, i'd love to actually be able to get one for myself *laughs* in a timely manner..

When i value high-end items like that, i usually check vend, and then wanted to value offers for the item there, and finally i'll check in threads in the exchange.. then i just kinda use my own senses to figure out what to value them at.

I've never had enough money to actually purchase a devil tail, but I've always known them as around 3.5mil at this day and age in the ecomony. I like to stalk the more upper class threads in the exchange ^_^

I've also noticed a downfal actually, and people have been selling them quite cheap. I saw one go for 3mil in the past two weeks. I think this deflation is man made, like most of them.

I value they around 3000k. I am not one to sit on an item and try and sell it for max value. Especially an item October 2003->recent. There are so many of them that can and do populate the market each day.

*nod* Thats what I usually value them at, or at 3.4 million. But recently, I have discovered a number of people selling for something like 3.2 million. So thats why I'm asking now. ^^

Haven't seen a 3.5 million offer in a long time.

@Auto - Well, deflation is just a matter of more sellers and less buyers - sellers are willing to take less and so they deflate. lol There was a bubble though on the 03 items so I'm not surprised.

@Kagen - *shrug* Well selling for 3000K is a little too low I think. lol

Aren't you glad you sold me my tail for 3.7mil? razz Haha, no worries. Even with the estimated 500k loss, there's no remourse on this end. My tail signified the completion of a goal I had set out to complete since I first learned of it's existance. smile

As for my own valuations right now? I'd probably put it around ~3300k. To think I could've sold it off for 4200k about 2 weeks after I acquired it. xd

Ah an update on this:

I sold a DT in the vend for 3.5 million - and this was to an exchanger. So I think I'll keep with that value for now. Sashes however - they seem to have died.

Are you valueing that offer at todays prices? xD; *isnt to sure what is going on with prices*
Although either way. I sold you the tail to help ^_^ At the time I could have gotten more for it. Doesn't matter to me if I sold to you and made or lost. ^_^

LoL, of course I know that man. Again, thanks so much.

Hehe... but I basically take my DT out of all my profit/loss calculations. It's simply not market fodder in my eyes. razz

As for current prices, I'm not sure what to make of that. It's just plain, erratic to say it nicely. *confused*

It is pretty bad lately, all the prices. I am enjoying working in large items at the moment cause the item price stays the same, I don't really need to worry about a gold count like with smaller items.

^ Yes, sashies have hit rock bottom. >__< They are difficult to sell in my opinion.
How much would you value sashies now Alexi or anyone for that matter? ^__^;; I have no idea anymore.
PostPosted: Thu Nov 24, 2005 10:13 am


Well, people in the exchange are valuing -their- sashes for 2.2 million when offering on items. Of course because the low vend is 2.2 million. However, the last known sale that I know of is 2.1 million - or close to it. I personally value them at 2 million because I know that can be attained. Anything higher takes a significant amount of effort.

Tails - well I suppose they could be about 3.4 mill or a little lower now. People of course try to get higher but they usually fail. I'd say 3.5 mill for a Tail now is a fluke. lol

Well I don't exchange with 03 items like that(Wish I was that rich) But I do watch the threads. I've been watching them sell for 1-1.3 million. I saw a few reacently that were a little overpriced and were bought. They're definately lower than their counterpart, but still selling for fluke prices.
