It all depends on how well its liked, will people say "I NEED that minipet!", or will people say, "What a crappy minipet".

Well, taking into consideration that it looks like the rat unless you're looking closely and it won't be the hot new thing forever, plus it's still a silly PIG mini... I think the price will lower somewhat. It isn't obvious and awesome like Mallyx, Djinn, or Greased Lightning.

HawkofStorms · Feb 12, 2008, 04:26 AM // 04:26

Demand will drop and so will the price.
People only want them because they are new. Once the "OMG a shiney new mini" affect wears off, prices will plummet.

Celestial, that makes sense. Reg, they were effing crazy.

Regular. I don't want the celestial version.

I suspect people are still unsure what the price of minipigs should be, and are unwilling to trade for that reason. Will do another "want to trade: my unded CELESTIAL RAT for your unded normal MINI PIG" run later.

Hehe. That formed part of my decision to not bother with Celestials. I looked up the next few years and it's something like Ox, Tiger, Rabbit - the last one would be fine as a normal model, but none would interest me as a Celestial. The only thing that would have gotten my attention was a Dragon, but four years away? Not really worth collecting the others in anticipation of that.

ANet should have saved the Celestial idea for the (presumably) better effects of GW2.

On the thread topic, I imagine the price will head down to 40-50K, once sellers realise that anyone willing to pay higher, already has. I think people will resist selling lower than that, because of he amount they likely had to invest to get one.

I guess it go down but slowly

I guess it will go up but slowly

undedicated: up (less of them)
dedicated: down (more of them)

WinterSnowblind · Feb 12, 2008, 12:54 PM // 12:54

I think it's going to go down, for both the Pig and the Rat. There was little demand for them during the event, besides the players that absoloutely needed to get the "hard to get Celestial Pig". Now that the excitement is gone, I don't see people rushing to try and get one.

The fact neither of them seem to be very popular won't help. I personally quite like both, but the general consensus seems to be that they're ugly.

My offer still stands. I sent you a PM, and will look for you online.

retro77 · Feb 12, 2008, 03:05 PM // 15:05

I sold one for a 100k yesterday.

aaje vhanli · Feb 13, 2008, 05:23 AM // 05:23

I still have 5 minipigs that I didn't have the chance to exchange for celestial minipigs (due to life outside of GW) so I imagine I'll just hang onto them in hopes of the opportunity to exchange them next year lol

In mid-term and short-term, the celestial pig will remain stable with some price fluctuation, up and down, but not much.

In the ultimate long terms - that is, when GW2 comes out - the price will plummet.

But maybe there will be GW2 tradings for some GW1 items, if the the benefits of HoM prove to be worthwhile and not crap.

My take.

hqp129 · Feb 23, 2008, 03:32 PM // 15:32

I think they will go up..was in a town saw a guy spammin for half a day without any success for a celestial pig..they are getting rarer as the supply dwindles for undedicates, btw i ve seen people buy them for 100k 10e:-)!

Proff · Feb 23, 2008, 03:45 PM // 15:45

seeing as no one really cares about the rat or pig and anyone that did got one during the festival the price will drop as soon as people figure out they don't need another mini.

aTT!kus · Feb 23, 2008, 04:59 PM // 16:59

i think rats ill go down to ~10k and celestial pigs will stay 70-100k

Hyprodimus Prime · Feb 23, 2008, 07:33 PM // 19:33

I wonder if the minipig collector will be there again next year.

Sir Seifus Halbred · Feb 23, 2008, 07:42 PM // 19:42

70-100k? During the event the majority of people were trying to sell for 40k. I think the celestial minis will drop in price, just give it time, like the mini pig.
