Even when partyhats hit max people were still not hoarding them, no one expected them to hit the insane prices we see today.
It feels like everyone expects the gold hat to go up a lot.

Due to the requirements for obtaining this item it's likely to be an incredibly common item. The equivalent of a "Collectors Edition" item mass produced and sold at Walmart. It looks beautiful though but it's a shame it likely won't become an interesting collectible item.
LOL...
You do realize that Phats, Santas, and Mask spawned all over the worlds on the ground on their respective holidays when they were released. My buddies and I had inventories full of Santas and Masks when they were dropped. These will go way up. It will just take years like the other discontinued items to get up to insane prices...
This looks like the real deal in honor of their 20 year anniversary. I would expect the same level of rareness on these overtime as any other discontinued.

Well said Lumbys Hero, it's nice to get some insight from someone back in the times. Yeah I'd imagine people didn't even think twice about tossing a phat/santa back on the floor or anything. Now it's actually worth some base cost (membership, 30m, time) and discontinued and it is anticipated to be rare so people are more likely to hold/keepsake them just because they only have 1 on each account and it wasn't infinitely/randomly dropped on the ground.
Thank you. This is pretty cool for their 20 year anniversary. Everyone gets a chance to get a hat who has always wanted one. I hope it brings in new players. Maybe we will grab some OSRS players lmfao.
I also hope they look like the ones that were released in 01 to pay homage to them. I hope they don't look gimmickey... or like some kind of crown of loyalty spinoff........
That would be disappointing.... The bright gold color / shine would be enough of a difference between them and the original phats.
Will find out soon.

Ohh it's out now if you look at OP's first post in this thread. It looks awesome! I realized Gold is the most iconic color since it pretty much looks like a JMOD crown/gilded christmas wrapper. Just need to have a silver one next for Pmod crown xD

My prediction: For the first few days, they will be quite high value. This is because many people are going to want to purchase as many of them as they can, but very few people are going to want to immediately sell their fancy new hat. Low supply, high demand.
After a few days however, the novelty will wear off for many and the prices will go down to a reasonable level. By this point, people with alts will have already made multiple, and the hype over the new hats will have subsided.
After one or two years, we'll see the values start to go up. Hoarders will have purchased tons, and the now-unobtainable hat becomes a minor rare.
Yeah, thats pretty much spot on. I have about 30 accounts ready to obtain it, if it remains at 100m+. Worth my time since I can basically afk every task required except a few, and can use many accs at once. Most of my friends/clan all have the same plan so certainly won't be "rare" for long lol. In another 20 years, it may actually be worth 30b like the old phats!

30 accounts ready btw. lul
So you're spending 1.5b+ just so you can get 30 phats? Lol
Don't trust any pc's listed, any advice or talks between posts on ID forums anymore , the Manips are let loose, especially the main one with 15+ accounts posting acting as different people.. do your own research
