I feel like a lot of the argument is a lack of willingness to believe stated facts. Also putting too much emphasis on feelings instead of logic, emphasis on the term 'partyhat' 'rare' 'discontinued' like it's extra special because it shares a name and model. it's a bit of a red herring that way. look at the numbers, look at all the people wearing hats, hell, even just take a step back and just look at the hat. it is what it is but it's not a
that
special. it's the flavor of the month.
Too many apples and oranges comparisons. I have a large gap in RS history when I didn't play so correct me if I'm wrong, but here is no precedent for this where a player has to grind out 20-30hrs, as well has having membership, having 40+ days, and is farmable on alts. Because of all that we use aggregate data from the rares as a whole category instead of cherry picking and comparing against single items.
yes the price will increase as time goes on. but to think the price will be a line going straight up is absolutely wrong. we will see the price go down before we see any significant rise. does it not make sense to sell before this happens? a lot of people so scared of this because you want to hold so you want everyone to do the same regardless. its apparent the ones arguing against selling have a horse in this race. I personally don't, I played around with these for a week and made enough and probably won't mess around with them again. I am keeping 2 hats for myself tho. that being disclosed, this discussion is still interesting to me.
sure you really don't want the price to fall, that's fine, but the market doesn't care what you want. the price will self correct to as demand falters, interest wanes, other shortterm speculators dump, etc. the only real winners are the ones who have enough to buy and hold for the long term while remaining comfortable. the ones spending their entire cash reserve on 1-4 expecting to double their money fast are suffering from wishful thinking.
