From observing in Kamadan, i noticed everyone is trying to get rid of their Asian/Rare mini's. Ghostly's, zheds, shirokens, nagas, onis, and yeti's. All are being sold for "Below average" pricing, and i havnt the slightest idea why everyone is getting rid of them... Is there some kind of new dupe / bug or somthing, or is it just by coincidence? With everyone competing to sell their mini's, it will (more than it already has) drive the value into the ground.
Mini's that normally go for 100k 250e , are going for like 190e (no 100k) now.
Am i missing some like crucial update, do they drop from Z-chest or somthing?!?
Mini Value drop?

I noticed this yesterday i saw some minipets going for like 20k below the regular price maybe there was a big value drop?

maybe people are just looking to recuop what they lost in tickets over the weekend. A full weekend of 9 rings is expensive.
Pesi
a full weekend in 9 rings did cost me about 200k i think..
doubt that its something to do with that, what i think.
this is quite interesting indeed!

Maybe people are finally realizing how worthless and stupid minipets really are?
Took em long enough. Minipets are the metagame.

mini mania give away thing, there are more asian minipets out there so they are cheaper.

I think the new celestial minis and the ensuing craze they caused did it. During the new year event minipigs went from barely being worth 1 or 2 platinum to worth 20 or 30k instead. At the end of the weekend I found somebody who sold me 6 common B-day minis for 8k and a dedicated Koss and dedicated Varesh for 3K a piece.
So yeah, whatever the reason the bottom fell right out of that market. (which is kinda cool for me, I got to buy a bunch of mini's for a reasonable price instead of every last bit of gold I had, but I know it's a bummer for others)

During First month, value stayed about the same as before.
By 2nd month, value of Yet / naga went for about 100k 50e, oni's a bit more.
By 3rd (last month), even though More mini's, the value sky rocketed to 3x the 2nd month. Yeti's / Nagas gonig for about 100k 150e aprox (more or less).
Up until Canthan newyears (or whatever the pastevent was) , they were at 4x to 5x the vaule of 2nd month. Nagas could fetch up to about 100k 250e ingame (not that high on guru), and Oni up to 100k 270e ish (not sure if they got that high on guru. but there were some buyers ingame). Atleast around 100k 200e each (although most went for more).
Now the values have declined a good 200k or so. Yeti are back down to like 100k 140e* (edit), and Nagas about 100k 170e ish.
I'm sure this is only temporary, and when there are fewer people selling at one time, the value will go back up... But this is still a very disturbing time for those of us that currently own (and paid quite a bit) for our rarer miniatures.

Prices fluctuate based on how many there are and how badly people want them.
It happens with every item.

Well if they didn't dedicate them, then they must have just got bored with them and got their ego satisfied with having them for a month.
kerpall
still , what i dont get is why now? What motivated them to all want to sell at this particular moment, and not in a month? not in 3 months? not in a year?
Rothaga
Maybe they saw someone else selling for really low, didnt realise that pets werent selling that low, and thought that they better get as much gold as possible out of it before the price drops even further.

I think there is a dupe going on, saw someone offering an armbrace for 100+20 yesterday when they have held steady at 100+33 or so for quite a while. JMHO tho.

unfortunately, i would not be surprized ... :/

Nah, it's just that European countries had some contests.
Some of them, like in the Spanish one they where bugged. Some people getting 3..5 miniatures of the same type after sending one single SMS and others getting nne after 10 and things like that.
Now they are getting rid of the surplus miniatures.

yeah but don't forget this is just coming off of a huge price increase. Just a couple months ago Onis were going for only 100k +90 ectos, Yetis were only 100k +60 ectos, and Nagas were down to 100k +40 ectos. I thought the minipet prize givaway would lower the prices but all it did is raise it...somehow. I don't get it.

Frankly,
I think people are just starting to get sick of minis..
I used to really want a naga but after this weekend I'm pretty much thinking of getting rid of the pig an rat i got. I don't even want to look at minis anymore - I used to think they were cute. Now I just think they're annoying.

Actually, Im waiting for the official GW2 announcements that will indicate its release date or beta test. When that happens, I have the feeling that's when we will see sky falling. Four or three months into GW2 release, all the gazillion plats and ectos would mean very little.
So now, while the shadows of GW2 is still unclear and uncertain, it is a good time to sell these uber items while people still put great value in them.
My take.

Easy. Dedication.
A dedicated miniature is an almost worthless miniature.
It doesn't matter how many miniatures you add, people have 4..10 characters, and it's absolutely impossible to have 20 miniatures with 4..10 characters, that is 80..200 miniatures, as the game is right now.

Well that was my plan, hopefully you get a benefit for the individual mini, and not just for having "xx" so many mini's.
Jongo River
There's absolutely no evidence that having a rare pet will give any GW2 benefit. Benefits will more likely come from filling monuments. I could imagine KoaBD plays a part, because of the way the monument changes, but that's all. I wouldn't go expecting every specific thing you can put into the HoM, to have a specific reward, unless you enjoy disappointment.
kerpall
No evidence disproving it either, its all still up in the air. I dont see why they wouldnt reward those with rare-mini's over those who dont have though.
Many of the people who got these rare mini's won them in contests, it would be a shame not to be recognized for winning in a contest, in gw2.
either that, or take all the people who won a contest ever, add their accounts to a database, and give them a title or somthing. idk

No worries, Anet will step in and give you this awesome 5 for 1 deal to raise the price again. Celestial Zhed ftw.
Pleikki
couple things that changes Mini prices, Intrest of em (how much ppl want em for HoM etc), Are those given from Magazines events etc and that how many of em excist As unded anymore. Those changes mostly their prices.. -PC GURU
The Real Avalon
It's easy:
#1 DoA over-farm caused the armbrace drop, the minis above the 1500E+Arm range dropped in price, so did all the other limited minis.
#2 People had to sell their minis to get enough ectos for a Miniature Greased Lightning, they had to sell fast, so they had to sell at a low price, this fact scared people into also selling low because they expected a massive price drop.
It'll balance out soon imo

I agree with dude above me, its inevitable minis will get more expensive, in the end titles, minis and everything that u can put in HoM will matter...ur also forgetting LOL that when gw2 comes out a couple million players are not just going to drop gw1 even the ppl that do that will still come back to finish or add something to their HoM once they figure out what u need for gw2 or what particular edge u get

I think it's the Chest, too... or some strange bug maybe.
Will see...
I don't think so... imo there will be a reward for having 20 Minis dedicated in the Hall, no matter if they are Pandas or Pigs. They said, that GW2 shall be a 'new game' - HoM will only provide items to show, that you are a 'veteran', right?
Will see...

well, 1 semi rare mini is good enough for me for now, while i load up on some cheap mini's just incase of either situation stated above.
Martin Alvito
Surprised that people are disturbed by the shift in high-end mini prices.
There's simply a lot of motion in that market as people with the Asian minis and Ghostly use them as a way to get enough to afford beetles. Additionally, people WITH beetles use them as a means to trade down and avoid taking on armbraces. Net effect: high velocity (turnover) in these pets relative to other times, which tends to decrease prices.
It'll settle out.

pretty much agreed with what martin said
undeadgun
the price of asain minis(oni,yeti,naga,zhed,shiroken,vizu) has dropped right after the cantha new year festival event.so this made me think that ppl that are wanting the mini beetle, or party animal point are try to get rid of their semi rare ones to be able to afford a beetle or max the title out.this is just my opinion though.
kerpall
yeah , i think its probably to try and get the beatle while they are still decently priced. ( O.o although they were cheaper than this when there were less of them last year , lol )
