Analysis of Rare Prices
I quit Runescape almost 4 years ago, but i actively play a role in the Runescape economy. How? I own several rares and i often make sure to login and make some money merchant-ing. However, i’ve noticed that from October, 2009 up till today we have seen a steady increase in the prices of rares. Why? I’m not quite sure, usually around this time of the year the rares plummet in prices but we have yet to see that type of trend in the game. Whats even more interesting to hear is that party-hat’s have stayed pretty consistent in prices while Halloween masks and Santa hats have risen tremendously.
Is it possible that the prices of these items are dependent upon the intervention of long time merchants like myself? or is it a natural supply and demand issue?

Well i heard recently alot of players that had rares quit Runescape and created a loss of circulation…
thats highly unlikely.. like soul said he quit runescape but he still logs in to merchant
thats just one person, ive seen so many ppl quit and never come back
well im just glad i was able to sell my red mask at 70mil

I just sold my red mask for 68.5M
Im really happy.
Yeah I thinks so.
Well it seems that players who quit do stop circulation, but technically it doesn’t hurt the economy because they still hold their value and keep the general welfare high.
I read a great article about the Runescape economy at the Runescape Observer, http://runescapeobserver.blogspot.com/
Yeah people like do keep the system in check.. I remember when I first started playing I could have bought a red mask for 1m… i should seized the opportunity!
Well it seems that players who quit do stop circulation ??? Do you.. Runescape economy many system in check.. I thinks so.
Prices of rares should always go up due to its stop of production. However, with prices rising the Partyhats cause quite a stirr for some merchanters. Most people have the graphs which they use so they hold on the party hats – while merchanters want the party hats seeing the profit rise. The Partyhat will always rise in prices the go out of ciruculation due to people quitin’. They will rise – players are smarter and see the the potention of keeping one other players are trying to buy them.
Rare prices will always go up! It’s a fact of the RuneScape world. As old players quit, the supply goes down and down and as new players join, the demand goes up and up!
