Would appreciate a little help
Hey guys,

I need a little help if you would be so kind. smile You know the graph on the bottom of this page? http://www.gaiaonline.com/store/collectibleinfo.php

I plan on updating the graphic a bit.

Could someone tell me what the average prices were for the following items for the following months? I don't need nitpicking exact numbers, just numbers in the ballpark, so to speak.

User Image Golden Laurels in August 2004

User Image CoCo Kitty Plushie in October 2005

User Image Gwee the Dragon in August 2006

Actual unopened letter price for the respective months is all right too. Thanks in advance. biggrin

I don't know those off the top of my head, but I'll ask my guild. 3nodding It's full of exchangers, so they might know.

Golden laurels: 645k
-August 2004: 620k
Coco: 150k
-October 2005: 120k
Gwee: 16.8k
-August 2006: 18.7k

I just tekteked all of them. I'm not very much of an exchanger. XD;

All of the items linked shows the monthly increase and decline for all months until now. If you want to see all of the months you need to click "View all pricing data".

Sevi already beat me to it. xp

It's amazing how much Golden Laurals went up. @_@ Why did I sell mine at 50k? Why!? gonk

I think that graph is seems to simple. You might want to ask Trisk if you want something more accurate. Just look at his thread that contains detailed graphs. @_@

I think she means how much the items were worth during those months. So neither tektek nor GEM goes back that far, I think.

I'd ball park the golden laurels at 3k, the coco at 10k (ish), and the Gwee at about 8k, maybe. But I'm not really an exchanger sweatdrop

Sevi Rais - thanks, but are you sure those prices are correct? The months I asked about are the months the items were released, so I'm dubious that the Golden Laurels cost 620k upon release. (But if they were, um...wow. eek )

MayLay - thanks, yes I've seen TriskDaemon's thread, however, the search only goes back 105 days.

I'm not sure if anyone kept marketplace data that far back, Ling (older price guides would have updated and probably not saved previous prices). Since that was the month it was released, and considering that before 2006, MC/donation items when released were all around 5-10k, I think it's safe to say that it was under 10k gold (maybe even under 6k) during it's month of release - August 2004.

I take it that not even Gaia's database of marketplace logs go back that far?

Checking TekTek for prices is tricky. The only one I could find of those three from those specified dates were the Gwee/August '06, which was 12k at initial release, but then dropped down to around 8-9k by the end of the month.

If I recall correctly, the Coco Kitty was immensly popular at it's time, going for around 10k if not more. And since it was "back in the day" when gold was harder to earn, I'm going to estimate that the Laurels went for 6k-ish. I can't say for sure, but those are my estimates.

The coco pricing is wrong, that inflation only lasted maybe 10 minutes. xD

They're down to around 115k now. 3nodding

Hey Ling,

The old GEN DB should have those... not the Gwee though sweatdrop I'm going to PM dano to see if he has the info still ^_^

edit:
I guess all we had is Laurels... XD
xxxx

I remember questing for Laurels, back when they came out. surprised

They were around the 4k-5k range.

It's kinda sad to see how much the letters have inflated now. sweatdrop


comment Commented on: Wed Jan 17, 2007 @ 09:50am
The gendb info is pretty reliable for the Laurels, so sephy's 4-5k can be used.

The latest gendb backup does not have Coco or Gwee prices, so other sources are needed. Tektek supports the Coco and Gwee, so Gwee began with prices around 8-9k.

Unfortunately, tektek does not have prices for the Coco when it was released and starts at april 2006...So all you can do is to guess and I think the middle between the prices for Laurels and the Gwee would be alright, thus 6-7k...

I bought a Coco for 11K and a Gwee for 8K. The price of the Coco might have been as low as 7K in the form of a sealed (before they opened).

i think the gwee, in august 2006 cost about 8,000 gold.

Thanks, guys! Much appreciated.

Ling: Inflation is just CRAZY these days! xd

After I posted I thought you meant that, so I added that you can click "View All Pricing Data" and it went back to the beginning. If some items don't go back that far then oh well. XD I know others would post their findings. Some of the actual exchangers. lol
