[quote=LeonGoldMage]Seeing how you are getting butt hurt enough to result in mud slinging and name calling when faced with the reality that something you own isn't worth a fortune, I'll stop trying to help the uninformed. Btw, take a look at the thread. How many people agreed with you that they are worth a fortune or will increase in value? Now ask yourself who's in the "bubble of economic ignorance" (actually, seeing how you are so fixed on yourself being right and everyone else being wrong, you will still say that I'm in the bubble). If you are right and by some miracle they do end up being worth a fortune, then woopy me for saving some on mules from events past, but I don't think I'll be holding my breath. Seeing how the price remained virtually unchanged since the last time they were released. I appreciate the invite to come again, but I'll have to refuse. Trying to help those who are unwilling to accept help (even after asking for it) just isn't worth the effort.[/quote]

tldr but who's butt hurt here? the player jealous that they didn't do enough box quests to get the item or the guy that actually has it? i see that you keep coming back over and over to type walls of repeating yourself again and again, yet you never actually respond to the actual points of the thread. come back when you actually know something please.

[quote=richboyliang]but while you could turn this into two (tradable) adv pot scrolls, you can't turn two adv pot scrolls into this. which makes this considerably rarer. it's like party hats and christmas crackers in runescape. you can open a christmas cracker to produce a partyhat and some crap item, but not the other way around. so christmas crackers are several times more valuable/expensive than the rarest party hat.[/quote]

Im sorry this is MapleStory not RuneStory.

seriously it's worth 2 advance pot scrolls nothing more nothing less.
you look like an idiot arguing about party hats/christmas crackers. the reason christmas crackers are more expensive is because there is a chance to get a more rare party hat ie a blue one instead of a red (dunno if blue is actually more expensive than red). what you have specifically states what it gives, 2 advance pot scrolls, so it's worth no more than the 2 advance pot scrolls that will come when you open it up.

I assure you, on the basis of not being a complete imbecile, that your item is worth about the price of two advanced potential scrolls.

[quote=richboyliang]You have no basis on which to assert that the communities of these two games are any different economically. Keep in mind that in addition to what I said about back-and-forth, which is completely valid and which you deny yourself, there is also a possibility that Nexon no longer releases these items into the game after this event. Discontinued items will naturally increase in price. If you remain trapped in your bubble of economic ignorance, you may find yourself missing out on good deals--or ripped off. Thank you, come again.[/quote]

[quote=LeonGoldMage]The fact that the cracker is a chance item is what makes it more valuable. For what ever reason it happens to be worth more than the most valuable thing that can be obtained (strange economy but w/e). If the community of runescape want to put insane value on such an item, then...well what ever. The community of MS, however, is different. You might be able to find some sucker who is as ill informed as you are and would be willing to pay more than it's worth, but all in all, it's worth to the majority of shoppers is only that of two adv pot scrolls. Take what you learned in this thread for what you want, but keep in mind that you asked for a price, people gave you a price. What you decide to believe is all you. EOS.[/quote]

[quote=richboyliang]my example's runescape christmas cracker isn't much of a variable outcome either. the absolute best reward from it (Blue party hat) is still worth far less than the christmas cracker itself, and people know that. the price of the cracker isn't higher because it has a chance to deliver something even better than itself. as i said earlier, the cracker is more valuable because once used, it can't be reobtained.[/quote]

[quote=LeonGoldMage]You answered your own question as to why it's only worth the value of two adv pot scrolls. "you could turn this into two (tradable) adv pot scrolls". That's the [bold]only[/bold] thing you can turn it into. There is no chance of it turning into something rarer, more valuable, or into anything else at all period. Just two adv pot scrolls. Anyone who buys it knows that it will only turn into two adv pot scrolls and would be unwilling to pay more than the value of two raw adv pot scrolls (unless they really want to pay overprice). They aren't going to buy it so they can show it off, they will buy it to use it right away. Your example is a bad one because the item you chose to use has a variable outcome versus the defined outcome of the adv pot scrolls. Even if after the event they never release them again, the value of the item will only be worth the value of two adv pot scrolls. (on a side note, this isn't the first time they have released these either)[/quote]

[quote=QuantumLegend]lol your logic. This 2 adv. pot scroll thing is useless until actually used.
And, as I have happened to recently discussed runescape (i dont play) with my friend, crackers are worth about the median price of the party hats, around 2 bil. Whereas the blue party hat is worth max or more.[/quote]

i'm sorry, have you actually played or not? you're terribly misinformed. for items surpassing max cash like the partyhats and christmas cracker, their grand exchange price can't surpass 2.1b. nobody is selling them on the grand exchange and the actual street price of crackers is several billions greater.

[quote=Night0fSorrow]lol, double the price of a single regular adv pot scroll. Which in my server is 15m/scroll; so tht would be worth roughly 30m or a bit less[/quote]
