Just thankful they will on the GE! The shard currency is a joke... It will be nice to see stuff move on the graphs and not have to deal with the idiots at the GE.

Best,

In regards to lowers such as H'ween masks and red santas, for example, they were on the GE for years. It's only very recently (<1year) they went out of GE. I recognize past performance is no indication of future results, but I tend to believe fluctuations in price will mimic historical performance here.

With partyhats, I could see the green-purple-red switching positions though in time. It'll be interesting to see.

Great points!

Also, prior to RSC closing the order of rares had pink partyhats on top (ahead of blue partyhats).

If I'm not mistaken, on RSC I think the prices went:
Yellow - Red - Green -White -Blue - Pink

Although Pink/purple was traditionally the cheapest, over time it gained the most value. From people who have done trials popping Christmas crackers, the number of Purple and Blue partyhats consistently tended to pop up the least often. There's of course other variables which affect the price of items such as the "fashionscape" appeal, or outfits that entice players to invest in one direction.

Overall, it will be interesting to see what the future GE order is of partyhats and other rares. I think a good quote you make is the one about how past performance doesn't necessarily determine the future. So true in the stock market, as well as Runescape economy. ;)

I believe blue and white phats will always remain on the top of partyhat hierarchy. Fun fact the colour blue is the most liked colour in the world. White is well white it looks pretty much good with everything. Could white surpass blue? I don't see it happening as blue is desired, the rarest and has a historic past tied to it. Now in regards to red, purple, green and yellow. Maybe purple will fall below green due to them being more common but a update will have to happen for this to occur. Such as an green dye being released or something along those lines. I also don't see purple falling below yellow. As yellow partyhats desirability is lower and it's one of the more common colours. Will green past red? Green is rarer but as past historical evidence has shown red has a higher demand due to it matching more skilcapes and outfits in the game. Red is also one of the better looking colours. I believe the biggest difference we'll observe with the Phats entering the G.E will be the margins of each colour relative to each other. Which I assume will decrease. I came to this conclusion from old data I collected the last time partyhats were still buyable in the Grand exchange. I can't wait to see what really happens though! All we can do is speculate.

Nice Analogy Noodells.
I have pretty much the exact same thoughts myself.
Partyhats are going to shift around a little bit. I personally think Green will switch with Purple due to numbers of each in game, and as you said the margin between Green and Red will close a bit as Red on release was the most common Phat.
I have actually put off UG Green to Purple for this exact reason, because I know Green is one of the rarer hats. This was actually the reason why I started this thread to get other peoples opinions and predictions. Plus I think it’s a very valid conversation to be had as it may very well affect us.

i personally think this entire thread is mute

the only people who can afford a phat are you hoarders,
the only ones who will be trading the phats are you hoarders
most people who want one will never be able to buy them so whether they are for sale on the ge or not doesn't really matter,

unless you hoarders decide to lower the prices to a much better maneuverable price range what's the point of discussing this?

They would most likely keep their value and possibly rise a bit higher to offset the 1% tax. Not true at all their value will go down due to it being easier to buy at the lower end of the margins and these margins are very large. We also don't yet know if the GP exists in the game to support these high prices.

If that's true then all the people who are maniping the current prices will buy them all up. If GE cannot support those prices then they won't be traded on GE People will want to get straight GP for stuff since it will become easier to buy and sell items, knowing the exact value you will get. If the GP isn't there it doesn't matter if it's on or off of the GE. I know many trades had been declined due to disagreements on the values of items being traded for an item.

The point of this Thread:
Very simple to explain from this created thread.
The Green partyhat, need to getting ranked higher in order, and become more expensive than the 4 other colors (Purple - Red - White - Blue).

I certainly won't go into opposition on you Sirjosh.
Green one, is really much less in action in the market and is possibly rarer.
The opportunity is there effectively.

I hope for you, that it happens.

my point is the only ones who are concerned about the phats on the ge in relation to color are the hoarders,

to a person who doesn't have any ,,, would take any one they could get no matter the color,

be assured the demand will always out weigh the supply .....no matter what the color is , simple fact...the hoarders have manipulated the market out of every ones normal reach

in order for this particular market to be feasible ,,, the hoarders must release a amount that allows the market to be manageable yet accessible

and currently the hoarders are the only ones who have accessibility
