Vampire, sell those asap. Varesh will only decline in value. Don't count on it to go up.

I'm wondering why the same doesn't/didn't happen for Kuunavaang, but they look better, so maybe that's why. >.>

Seconded, I've noticed a HEAVY drop in value over just a few days for Varesh, noone wants it anymore.

Also most people I've noticed trying to sell will just keep dropping there price if you outprice them, I had someone who everytime I dropped my price 1k, he'd drop his 1k below, this continued for about 10k and then I changed to whisp me an offer, and no suprise, he changed to whisp an offer as well, I added cheap, he added cheaper. When it got to that I just left as I could see there was no action there after 1/2 an hour, was quite entertaining though.

heh, I hate it when people do this to me too. I just continue to post my price and if the other person sells theirs then oh well although someone was selling their Gray Giant for 20k lower than what I had but they had no luck selling it either.

Seeing the prices of the Gray Giant drop like this makes me mad! I bought mine for 50k and want to sell it for higher but so far it seems like that's not happening. I hope the prices go up in a few weeks.

i know what you mean. i've been trying to sell a varesh and gray giants for the longest time. nobody is remotely interested. so i finally gave into trading it for weapons or items. it's pretty annoying.

I hope the Gray Giant goes up..I have 3(not counting MINE when I get NF)

I think most ppl have yet to realize that they can only be got from
1) Some one selling it
2) The KEY that was in the PC Gamer Mag

Right now it seem to me anyway, that they are being sold in a circle..

And it seems EVERYONE is undercuting the Prices in the last few days..

I add my Gray for 70k..next guy is 65k..then a 60k will pop up...
It seems that they are trying hard as hell to drop the market on just about everything..

Hell even some MODS are being undercut badly..try selling a 20/20 Bow string for 20k...someone will put theirs up for 18k within a few secs..

Most places in europe haven't even had a key yet, the UK doesn't even get it until early december!!! So there are more grey giants to come onto the market.

I think I can say I've had the weirdest offer for a varesh yet though, someone offered me their second account.!!!

EDIT: Just traded varesh for 2 Daggers of Xuekao and The Scar Eater, seemed an ok trade for me, not too worried about selling them as they might be useful later on, and I doubt the value on these will drop anywhere near as fast as Varesh has.

My thoughts after a week of constant buying/selling


Most popular / quickest sold (in order of popularity)

Gray Giant (i sell for 35-45k) - best bet for profits
Rurik (still quite popular if you can find em cheap)
Burning Titan (sell for 25-30k)


Losing value (imo):

Shiro - (spammed for hours on end multiple occasions during week at 55k cant sell it, this one is at around 50k right now, of course if you wait long enough like them all you can sell higher, but takes to long)

Varesh - (its everywhere, I wont even buy this for 20k anymore)



overall value holding strongest:

bone dragon
kunnavang
rurik
gray giant

Once Europe gets Gray Giant say bye bye to any decent money...10-20k, everyone will buy just to sell (first set of NF 1.5k armor covered) thats how I looked at it whn I bought CE version of NF...Varesh=free money

Sold a Gray Giant today-26.5k. Not a huge amount of effort. Definitely less than I wanted for it, but I'd rather get the money now than have it decline more in value.

Sold my Gray Giant for 35k within about 10 minutes, the person asked what's the offer I said 45k, she was quiet for a bit then said 30k, I threw out 35k and she took a look at it and said looks good! Althought I lost 15k profit from it, I still got another one that's waiting for me until I get NF so I'll sell that asap too.

Aparently there are some new pets. I've heard people saying WTB Naga something or whatever.

Please confirm and if possible give prices.......

imo, Gray Giant is the only pet released to the American market that will increase in value over time since no new ones are being released in to the market. Unlike all the rest where supply increaeses whenever a character reaches 1 year, there will be no more Gray Giants coming in unless Anet rereleases them in the next annual series.

There are 6 other mini pets (Naga Raincaller, Longhair Yeti, Oni, Kanaxai, Panda, and Island Guardian) not mentioned. These were released in Asia for events so unless these are released in the next annual series, same deal as the Gray Giant on pricing.

I bought the Naga and the Yeti for 100k +10 ectos each. Other ones I haven't seen for sale in game yet.

I bought a yeti for 100k + 35 ecto (yes i over paid). Traded it for 20k + 10 ecto + gray giant + varesh + kuunavang + prince rurik.

I'm an idiot who lost out a lot of money on that deal.

haven't paid attention to minipets until recently, so i'm pretty oblivious to pricing trends. do they tend to go up and down, or should we expect them to stay as horribly low as they are right now?

Ok so I heard from a buddy of mine that ArenaNet will no longer be giving the Bone Dragon out as a bday present starting next year.

Anyone have a link to prove this? For it determines if im keeping it or selling it.

Oh Noes! The 'burbs!

Unless your buddy has a close personal friend within ArenaNet, my guess is it's utter hogwash. He was probably bored and decided to mess with you.
