Yes, some people are trying to sell for 100K, but nobody in their right mind will buy one of those. If you go to Kamadan right now, you'll see many WTB Mnipig 15K. You might also see some WTT Minipig for Vizu!!! :P

Indeed, I was in on that and handed out 8 of them. I wonder if those people remember me.

I wonder if this is gonna be a even trade like.. 1 mini something for the mini pig..
or if its certain amount of lunar fortunes for a pig?

If its a mini something for the mini pig.. I might as well give some of my pigs away.. I don't need another stack of new mini somethings. >.>

The rat will drop normally like the pig last year, but we can trade pigs for another mini, *crosses fingers for Mini Nian*

As long as the trade is 1 for 1 I'm happy, i still have 2 from last year, but I do understand your point, the high price is mostly due to rich people buying them in a rush to "be the one with the most" it seems like they need to have a lot of somethign to feel good aobut themselves.

The amount of mini pigs out there.. the mini "nian" (or w/e it will be) won't be worth the money really towards the end.. the economy will be flooded with the new mini as it is with mini pigs right now. ><

/edit
Lol @ Voltaic Spear.. OMG MUST GETZ! OFF TO DE KAMADANZ!

Now this is why we need more storage. So we can never sell or give away anything just in case we need it or multiple units of it in a years time!

Darn....I really wish I actually got a minipig...I might just end up buying one depending on the coolness of the mini you get for it.

I had 6, sold all for 110k in a few mins.
I guess they will be less than 10k tomorrow and again 2k at the end of the event.

I gave my only other Pig to my brother, as he only started playing more recently. Pretty annoyed that I can't get the new one now, but going by the amount of pigs, the new one is going to be fairly common as well and probably won't go for very much.

Really looking forward to this festival, but I don't think this was a very good idea. It's just going to encourage people to hoard things like this in the future, instead of giving them away.

Interesting. I bought a lot of them after last year's event, hoping to resell them for more after the event. BUt the prices only dropped more so I kept them.

I was surprised to see all the WTB's today, so I sold all but one for 6-10k each. Nice profit since I bought for 3k last year. (yes, I could probably have sold for more I read now but I'm fine with my profit.)

I bought back (for 6k) one when I read about the new collector.

I wonder if the price of pigs would go down or up tomorrow.. I'm guessing down.. because everyone will be selling today.. and tomorrow people will have lost the whole "must-get-pig" and cause prices to drop..

I think 20-30k is "reasonable" right now.. those people asking 100k is CRAZY. ><

But I feel bad for the little pigs.

Being tossed around like it's nothing! T__T

If you ask me, the new collector minipet should have been given to those people who actually went through the trouble of getting all ingredients, not the people who stood in town every 3 hours collecting free pigs :P
But as I highly doubt it is retroactive, give something to the people who'll do it this year.
Because, obviously, the warm, fuzzy & happy feeling you might had when knowing you did something nice for other people, can make a 180° turn and make you feel cold and miserable a year later

This is hilarious. I have 11 mini-pigs in storage, i intended to give them away to guildies...but they didn't want them!

Finally i can get my revenge on the guy who sold me my first pig for 25K early in last year's festival, before they dropped like chalks in the finale

So, did Gaile say anything else other than you -can- trade a dedicated pig to the collector, and that you can only get the rat mini from lunar fortunes? Hoping she had some more helpful info about the event and the minis.

IDK about that. People are hoarding them, and plenty of people (myself included) just deleted a whole bunch due to storage, and the fact that NO ONE has wanted them for the past year.

Well, if the new mini is going to be a Miniature Celestial Rat, maybe the collector is taking Mini Pigs and turning them into Mini Celestial Pigs?

Just a thought.

20K to 30K for a pig is just simply hilarious.

Anything the collector is offering will NOT be worth anywhere near that amount.

I reckon you could be right here - a quick skin change to the otherwise butt-ugly pig to boost it's appeal.

I think i'll convert a couple then hang onto the originals, i'm guessing they'll be worth more than celestial versions down the track.
