I don't really play anymore but I check on the game at times. I do know there are many older wealthy accounts who need somewhere to spend their wealth and they'll attempt to hoard as many as they can afford to buy. Many players will want to keep their only rare item, and since this is largely a PVM game now, I think many won't care to sell it because they never wanted to spend on rares so they'll want to hold on to their only one. I believe the price will be higher than it's worth for quite some time because a lack of players wanting to sell the only one they took the time to get, compared to the number of players willing to buy any and all hats. I bet it sits around 200-300M easily because it would have to be high enough to tempt players to sell their only rare.

lets not forget, there are MANY inactive accounts, with wealth, who will log on just to buy these hats. I am one of them.

I really doubt there's gonna be as many as people claim to be. Most people are kids and don't even want to spend $10 on the game let alone $50+. It costs 1 bond for membership and another bond cost for 30M GP if you're dishing out that much for the shard. I really doubt the average person is gonna make more than 1 alts MAX. Also there's also new players who don't read the news or care about the gold phat at all or just don't have time for video games to get all 8 shards. Also remember alot of people will just get ONE gphat, which means it's already NFS or not considered in the market. The number of ACTIVE phats will definitely be less than the active player base.

Predictions on how much the Gold Phat is going to effect the price of the Yellow Phat?
Yes 1 is gold and the other is yellow, but gold and yellow are a similar colour.
Is this going to hurt Yellow more than we think? Curious because I was in the market for a Yellow but now I’m unsure…

Jagex stated they will be very different. Why would it hurt yellow or any other colour?
They are original, classic partyhats and nothing can really hurt them, especially not this very common item.

new partyhat...

Oh,
Think twice,
It will not be another day for you and me in paradise.


Just Think about it:

Will the Gold partyhat look like an original Partyhat?


A) YES.

B) NO.


I hope YES, I think NO.

From the concept art it looks more like JMOD/mod crown rather than original phat, but then there have been several different versions shown so cant really tell which one is the actual look its going to be.

I think they are going to take similar route as they did with black santa hat, made character wear it in different way which makes it ugly for me, if it was carbon copy of santa but black it would be on a level of phat prices right now.

This could end up as a good distraction to corner one of the other rares. Imagine if someone crazy got all the Xmas Scythes like the Grinch before Xmas.

Scythe looks terrible, thats why its only 3billion which is cheap compared to its rarity.

My thoughts exactly. The vast majority of GPhats obtained will be from active players. I'm sure 99% of those active players know how much normal Phats go for. So with that being said, I don't think people will be turning around and selling GPhats like they're burning a hole in their inventories. Like it or not the GPhat is going to run you a lot of gp to get someone to trade it. My prediction is that less than 200 GPhats will be swapping hands, and that's on the high end.

I don't know, maybe because it is a phat? It is funny that everybody that merch phat for a living (because that is basically what they do in rs apparently) say it won't have an impact. Just by looking at how many phat trades have been reported recently in the Discontinued Item Status you can tell the impact the announcement has had, let alone the release. But it could only be me making things up :)

It is still very different by every single aspect from original partyhats.
I would disagree, I actually saw a lot of people who merch for living like you say claiming that they will have impact so they can buy real partyhats for much lower price.
Partyhats started dropping after duel arena cap/removal and some prices of yellow and green partyhats are fabricated from newly created accounts with 1 or 2 posts.
I could care less, just stating some facts. My honest opinion about gold one will not change.
I still think it will be very common but price should stay relatively high because a lot of people who do the event will keep it for themself so they won't really be that much in circulation plus hoarders will do their part.
Idea of gold partyhats and gold santas are great but I'm not too sure is this the way to do it.
I would personally make them much rarer or limited because term 'partyhat' should not be devalued by any means.
