Is timing important in hoarding an event item? I've heard it falters if people buy their collection of 69/420 event items early. But why? I don't understand why old manipulators bought their collections at the end of an event, sometimes a few days before, sometimes a week after? Why do prices spike if you hoard at the end?

And why does the collection size become an edgy number? Isn't monitoring the value of your 70 golden party hats the same as monitoring 69? Just sounds dumb to me

is timing important? -- well basics of it yes of course prices change with time, having the right time means you got your collection "cheap"

end of events hype is relaxed i guess... but i dont understand this question considering everything youve said. it just doesnt make sense.

I often buy items weeks or months before that can or might be used for events such as Double Exp Weekends etc.

Sadly this double exp weekend didn't plan out as planned and I've been left with 375,000 Item X* still trying to sell in GE as I forgot to adjust the price of said item for a good deal for people.

I don't mind as they will come in handy for the Next Double Exp weekend which shouldn't be too long as they are often traded and keep a good price anyway.

I'll sell mine some day. In no rush.

After all I don't want to be accused of Manipulating. :P

If you buy on dozens of accounts at very low prices, you might do well.

Jumpers were a hit because not expected to return. Beach is dead because, despite the message of possible no return, many expect its return now.

Tokens sit in banks. Hoarders are the ultimate buyers. Often a buyer will spike a price. If few are in the Ge, it creates the impression that they are going up, worth holding.

My mistake with tokens was buying far too high, expecting they wouldn’t return, and not using alts. Tokens are generally slow to resell, unless selling to another hoarder.

Maybe I misunderstood the topic. Golden phats might rise faster than other phats. So, if you have 500 of them, it could mean a small amount of gp turning into a phat.

What do you mean with event item. I do asume tokens reading your post.
Tokens just keep dropping even after the event. They are also stable at a low price for a long time so there is no rush buying them. There is just way to many of them.
Only with the more rare tokens i guess timing is important and generally its cheaper at the end of the event though not always.

Some of us attempted to buyout on golden phats today. People have built huge walls, it's just not going to be possible to launch this item to the 2.4b checkpoint where it would things get much easier. . .

Honestly, think I'll just flip it for guaranteed profits.

There's literally too many of them in the game. Difficult to buy out an item that was literally available to every member account made
