If people are willingly paying that much for them, than it doesn't matter how many there are, or how rare they are.

They are rare, but due to them being available during Wintersday they are more popular to sell this time of year.

Since Wintersday started all you have been doing is saying things like: "there are already xxx MPB's dude !!!" "it's not that rare" etc.

It IS rare, but extremely rare like last year ? No .
For comparison: according to Wiki there are 100+ mini panda's and that minipet is considered extremely rare...

The MPB is still rare, people are selling it in fear of it not being rare at the end of the event - same reason why Celestial Pigs went for 100k+some ecto at first but quickly went down to 50k in two days, then 20k, if not lower, be the end of the event. They were believed to be rare, and many people wanted to sell asap, and eventually it became non-rare.

People fear the same thing happening to the MPB. So they are selling it as fast as possible. Also some are fake sellers (on forums and in towns) who are trying to lower the cost. So take about half - if that - of those people have the MPB.

See the MPB is about as rare as getting an eternal blade from the UW chest. The difference is that this chest can be farmed in 8-10 minutes, while that chest can only be farmed every hour to hour and a half. I have NO clue why its worth so much right now. It is a very rare drop, but certainly not worth 1750e ded. If an eternal blade is worth 250e at best when req 9, MPB should be a fourth of that...

Just my 2 cents

Supply and demand determine price.

Availible only short period once a year, maybe this year is last year peolpe care if GW2 succeeds.

Just because spamadan has WTB WTS mini polar bears doesn't mean anything. How many are Legit.

No, the difference is you can show off your expensive MPB in town.

The way I see it, idiots will dump their ecto on the bad pet, the sellers will then dump THEIR ecto on stuff I am selling, so I'll profit off everyones stupidity.

well --
the uw chest is actually almost the same if not faster than the wintersday chest.
1. 8 chests for every uw run
2. underworld chests could be farmed in 11 minutes =]

If they're not that rare, can you give me a couple? I mean, surely you have a whole bank filled with them based on your assumptions.

I know of a few within my alliance but they are of the higher end of pve and hardcore farmers/traders. It is more common this year but most definately not really common.

But one could also farm on 8 characters simultaneously so using you logic that would mean that the wintersday chest could be farmed in less than a minute. And a lot of people are farming the chest in hopes of getting rich quick. So this mini is getting farmed by the second.

In my opinion its not that the MPB isn't rare, but its way to hyped up. I have just seen a person trying to trade it for a Panda. Now thats very flawed if something that can be farmed, even if it is within a week deadline to get it, can be traded for a minipet fairly with only a hundred or so in existence.

But my saying it isn't going to do anything, people are going to be more hysterical for this minipet for sometime before the end of the event. Im simply pointing out what I feel is flawed in the logic and pricing of many.

The price they are right now is ridiculous for anything, in general. But whatever people are paying is what they're worth; regardless of apparent rarity or not.

I'd still say they are pretty rare. Lindsey confirmed the drop rate would be the same as last year. The difference being everyone actually knows about it this year and has been farming not stop since the event started.

Just my 2 cents
you can farm the uw chest 24 hours a day 7 days a week 52 weeks a year

the wintersday chest is here what 2 weeks a year and has a very low drop rate on polarbears. that is why polarbears are so valuable. besides i feel alot of the people claiming to have a polar bear r blowing smoke.
