Not sure if it's okay to ask as I don't think I've seen prices mentioned, but does anyone know current price? Disk is really the only rare I'm interested in owning. Been fascinated with it since I was maybe 11 years old. Would like to know how much grinding I have left to do before I actually get one XD

Also @Divine Gaze

To add on to your comment from before, I think it is a combination of both: there is both low supply and low demand, imo this makes disk a really interesting item.

One reason the supply is low is simply due to its rarity, but also because many disk holders (like some fans in this thread) just may just never want to ever sell them, since they love the item.

In terms of demand, I believe the demand is generally low just due to its unpopularity (both as an investment/flip item since it quite a slow item to trade, but also since it is at a price point where it may compete with other wearable rares like H'weens, Santa, X-mas Scythe etc. which are generally more popular due to being wearable but likely more common too)

I think, however, there is another factor on why it may appear to be more infrequently traded than it really is. This is because there are a fair few of the disk trades between players which are simply not posted publicly - either on forums or other price checkers.

I have personally made trades recently and just not posted them (was lazy/ didn't screenshot with timestamp), but have also heard of more trades from other disk buyer/sellers than the ones publicly posted.

There are a few reasons behind this: it's sometimes a hassle to take a screenshot, players may want to keep private about trades with others, etc.

I think the same can be said about the Half Wine - where I've heard of a relatively recent trade between two merchers (more recent than the publicly posted one 16 weeks ago). However the trade just simply wasn't posted, for whatever reason.

Yeah I think Trip180 is correct it's probably currently around 4b, though have wide range, based on trades I have heard of in the past few weeks.

The two most recent publicly reported trades were 4200m and 4400m, both approx. 3 weeks ago.

I bought one, many years ago, for 7 million. This is the only time I've been able to save up enough to pay cash for a rare item. All my other trades have been trading rares for rares. I traded it later, when free trade returned, for a wearable rare.

@bo
Yes I can agree to that; I'd like to add that if I were to have lets say a 6b bank and I absolutely wanted a rare I would buy something I can wear and keepsake it so I can enjoy it during pvm/skilling etc since I can only buy 1 rare, I think most disk holders have multiple rares wich is a smaller part of the community than the people that have 6b
(DISCLAIMER: this is purely my speculation and should not be taken as fact or truth always do your own research and make up your own mind)


As for trades not being reported that is all to common a lot of merchers won't post their sales before they have rebought so they can rebuy in peace on the cheap and vice versa wich is completely understandable, this is absolutely not a lash out to merchers as I do respect them and used to be one of them aswell, personally I moved away from streettrading in the last few years as the items I'm interested in are becoming more and more of a hastle to buy and sell so I just buy and collect rares with the aim to keep rather than try to flip them in a pretty 'competitive' market, I also miss the old merchers I used to be friends with that had to go due to bans / hacks thinking of md3w, fun to play, wardje; glad people like Trips, Theos, Weakpig and Enrichments are still around I see you brothers :D

But I'm wandering off again; I do agree disk as any low volume item is an interesting item to say the least
Why should I hate those weaker than myself? I only pity them

@Bo I got a good laugh from your Disk joke “show your love for the forbidden purple donut”
lol ;)

Also so glad they fixed the photo booth thank you.

Your thread kinda makes me want to misbehave, in the hopes that it might spark an investigation especially if your gonna be the lead detective. Lol
