Why the price of minipets like. Zhed, Shiroken etc.... went down...
they were like 600ectos for undedicated ones...and now they are under 400e

they are rare, there is less of them undedicated so in theory they should be more expensive


I missed something?

I also have noticed the price drop over the last few weeks - my theory is that nobody was willing to pay 600+ ecto for a minipet so they price has dropped...

To OP, prices are determined by demand and supply, as other items. When the taste of the general GW community changes, so does the demand and eventually the price. Perhaps people go for other mini nowadays

dont quote me on this but i think there is only 1 american owner of it and his name is Ze Barybetur or something like that.. if he were to sell it it would be worth all the gold in the game ( 15000+ ecto)

most of the really rare minis are almost impossible to buy now since the people that have them aren't selling. i haven't seen a kanaxai or a panda on the market in a while. for the others, it might just be that people heard a rumor that more were coming out or that the seller wanted a quick sale to be able to buy something else.

just for other information, someone offered me $500 for my kanaxai the other day . ..

Possibly, the price is going down, because people are worried the market may see an influx of these minis or something better in the next month or so as 3rd year minis emerge.

@KIDGOOCH - new minis coming out for 3rd year is exactly the reason for price drops. Rare mini owners willing to take less in order to obtain plat for new purchases and fear that larger price drops will occur.
