rare minis price - Guild Wars Forums

papryk · Apr 09, 2008, 07:54 AM // 07:54

Why the price of minipets like. Zhed, Shiroken etc.... went down...
they were like 600ectos for undedicated ones...and now they are under 400e

they are rare, there is less of them undedicated so in theory they should be more expensive

I missed something?

Kyrein · Apr 09, 2008, 08:10 AM // 08:10

the few people that own them have decided to sell them at that price?

Pesi · Apr 09, 2008, 08:56 AM // 08:56

lower price = faster sale

Elder III · Apr 09, 2008, 09:30 AM // 09:30

I also have noticed the price drop over the last few weeks - my theory is that nobody was willing to pay 600+ ecto for a minipet so they price has dropped...

papryk · Apr 09, 2008, 09:37 AM // 09:37

but look at mini vizu....the price is still rising... 1000+ ectos...
so ppl are able to pay so much

Shayne Hawke · Apr 09, 2008, 11:23 AM // 11:23

People trying to make a lot of cash to buy party items with is my guess.

kranius · Apr 09, 2008, 12:23 PM // 12:23

ghostly is around 900e

Priceless

To OP, prices are determined by demand and supply, as other items. When the taste of the general GW community changes, so does the demand and eventually the price. Perhaps people go for other mini nowadays

dont quote me on this but i think there is only 1 american owner of it and his name is Ze Barybetur or something like that.. if he were to sell it it would be worth all the gold in the game

( 15000+ ecto)

Enko · Apr 09, 2008, 02:16 PM // 14:16

most of the really rare minis are almost impossible to buy now since the people that have them aren't selling. i haven't seen a kanaxai or a panda on the market in a while. for the others, it might just be that people heard a rumor that more were coming out or that the seller wanted a quick sale to be able to buy something else.

just for other information, someone offered me $500 for my kanaxai the other day . ..

Grim Aragorn · Apr 09, 2008, 03:15 PM // 15:15

there is one person i know that has a mini panda in pre-searing and they dont plan on leaving pre or selling it=)

nope their price rised aven after their introduction with the mini mania contest...

when the contest began...Shiroken was like 250 ectos....1 month after the end of contest...shiroken was 600e....

KIDGOOCH · Apr 09, 2008, 07:11 PM // 19:11

Possibly, the price is going down, because people are worried the market may see an influx of these minis or something better in the next month or so as 3rd year minis emerge.

*Darcy* · Apr 09, 2008, 09:58 PM // 21:58

@KIDGOOCH - new minis coming out for 3rd year is exactly the reason for price drops. Rare mini owners willing to take less in order to obtain plat for new purchases and fear that larger price drops will occur.
