Is it cheaper to buy all white minis or later year white minis cost more than early year purples or golds

anyone got an estimate of the mini prices by year? white/purple/gold/green

thanks!

Mini prices have gone crazy since the HoM thing. ALL mini prices, even year 1 whites. If you're in the market to buy, my advice would be to hold off for now and wait until the year 6 series comes out in April. There's a decent chance that things may have settled down again by then.

If you're determined to buy now, year ones are at about 3-4k/ea for whites, 6-7k/ea for purples, ~20-30k for golds, and 70-80k for the green bone dragon (this has gone up the most due to the "unique mini" point in the HoM).

Year twos are roughly 5-6k/ea for whites, and up from there.
Year threes at about 10k/ea for whites and up.
Years four and five are obviously more expensive, so you'd likely be better off adding purples from years one and two.

I'd note that it's nearly impossible to accurately price minis right now - simply because there's so many people desperately overpaying. In short, it's an amazing time if you're selling, but an awful time to buy. In my opinion anyway.

Thanks a bunch really helped ^^, I'm putting off that for now, but kinda just want to know for reference if somehow I'm crazy enough to start now

I'd advise you to look through the recent replies to the minipet PC sticky, too. The OP of that sticky may not have been updated recently, but a lot of folks still actively report their trades as replies.

You can get a feel for the price range of, say, year 2 purple minis by looking on the OP or wiki to see which minis are year 2 purples and then scanning the replies on that thread from the past few weeks to see what others are trading them for.

That's how I've picked prices to ask for the spare minis I sold recently.

Like jimbo, I'd warn you that the market is pretty unstable right now. Thousands of players who never cared about minis and always sold theirs suddenly MUST HAVE!!! 50 of them. It's no surprise that the market got a little shaky, and it's a safe bet to say that over time the market will settle back down. I would also warn you that the range of prices seems pretty wide right now. Take jimbo's advice, what you can find out from the mini thread replies, and maybe even current prices listed on threads and auction system listings here to get a feel for how wide the range is. Once you know that, you can start thinking about where in that range you'd like to aim if you decide to buy them now.

Cheers & Good luck!
