The Grey Giant will be interesting. Many people have their PC Gamer keys in already.

But how great of a demand will there be? And how great a supply?

I expect the Grey Giant to sell for 100k. It is about the same as Kuunavang, and it's the same supply.

Probably an exponential amount of value over time. I'm going to guess it'll double each year, starting at 50k buyout this year.

I'd expect the supply to be much greater then kuunavang, but I'm not 100% on that...
But, there's no way around it: the little guy is repulsive.
I'm seriously doubting there is going to be a huge demand for them.
Gussing at ~40k starting out, > 15k in a week or two.

seeing as the magazine to get the gray giant costs like $10 or so, tons of people already have the thing.

i think the gray giant will not be very expensive because basically everyone in america already has it, and people from other countries may have bought the magazine key or have gotten the key from friends. besides, it isn't even that cool looking... and it's huge ... lol


i think the reason that kunaavang was so expensive when it came out was because it came from the collector's edition of factions which cost around
$70. also, kunaavang is a lot better looking and there was a high demand at the start of factions for them.

another thing is that prices are being cut in guild wars so i'm not sure if items will be worth 100k or more for long...

just a thought

wow, if i could get 75k for the thing, i would certainly sell it. i'm sure it won't go above 25k though, everyone has it.

It will be 100k or more for a bit just because people will think its rare and want to have it as soon as possible. The price might drop later but I think it could easily rise again since there will be no more being distributed. Varesh will probably be more.

Simply ask yourself: What would YOU be willing to pay for it?

I'd pay about 5k. Yes, that's 5000g. Fivethousand. Maximum. Not more.

People are getting smarter after Factions I'm expecting a slower market compared to when Kuunavang came out.

bah 100k.... why when any1 could have got ithe magazine?! Personally I didnt even bother buying the mag, when i heard about it. I dont want a mini pet everyone else has. It just wont justify spending 100k!

The Kuunavang / Bone Dragon are the ultimate!
I own a Kuunavang \ Hydra ..... Not bought, earned!

Kuun started at 100K +5e -15e, not 100k.

I expect Gray Giant to start at 100k and then go down to 40k in a month.

Well considering that you can't just get it, you have to do a quest to get it, people aren't going to pay much for it. Because it's not really rare or anything. I vote that it'll be worth 100k+ to stupid people, but <30k to those who actually know what it is.

Think that the people who have to have it will buy it at a higher price, or could be that their money is buring a hole in their pocket. Think it will bottom out at 25k give or take.

Since I don't live in the US of A , I had some trouble obtaining a key to unlock the giant.. I bet more people have the same problem.. I think we won't see many giants in the european district, which should in turn skyrocktet their prices.. sadly

Edit for --> Just read that a couple of european magazines will also carry the needed key.. Therefore, my argument is useless

Unfortunatly, still no Dutch magazines carrying this key.. Looks like I have to buy one myself

I think you'll be hard-pressed to find anyone willing to sell for less than 100k, but it'll be just as hard to find someone willing to buy it for more than 50k.

Everyone got one because Kunni went for so much when people sold them, but now so many people have the grey giant and so many people know it was just from a magazine, I don't think it will sell for much at all.

Varesh on the other hand...I think will follow more along the lines of Kunni and go for 100k+

I may keep my giant. He's HUGE! Much better than those wimpy Jade Armors...

At the start it may be a bit higher than normal, but then when all of europe have the magazines released the price will drop as many of those who wanted it would have bought the magazine.

I think it's around the range of 50k to 100k at least.
