Guild Wars 2

Do you think the prices will go up a lot again after the SAB is removed?

It seems the drop rate is much higher than last time – at least for me… got 3 skins and last time not even one. But that might just have been luck this time.

I was suprised when I saw price about at 5g for the first 2 skins and at my 3rd skin the pistol it was about 15g and only a very few pistols at the market.

Should I wait or sell now?

It seems pistol is used a lot and some favourite weapon like greatsword – so the price is higher…. but then again people might get more pistos in the next 2 weeks the box still is ingame. And peopel might have some in their inventories that they haven’t put at the market yet. So probably price will drop a bit first?

But do you think it will rise a lot later? (like to about 20-30 where greatswort is now)?

Not to surprised pistols are near greatsword price. Besides the lack of selection, who won’t wanna carry around a nintendo gun look-a-like.
even the shotgun looks decent tho I really wish it was longer.

Considering that the skins are going to be back with more colors and all, they’re really not very… special anymore. Super GS for example used to be 80g when SAB first came out. Went down to teens and back up to 20s when SAB came back. So practically speaking from experience, the skins will go down in price, because they’ll be back again. So nobody will be willing to pay more for skins that they can just get later when SAB will return. Given the skins will not be the same color anymore, but I don’t think a lot of people care.

So do you think the basic blue skins will return? I was thinking about this… now they gave us only the new blue skins and the old ones did not return at Moto where you can buy for baubles.

Would be strange if they made only tribulation skins at World 3 and 4…

I also fear the old skins all might return(maybe at World 3 the first set and at World 4 release the 2nd set we have now).

Then really it might be best to sell now.

they’ll be back. If I had to guess the selection for the easy blue ones are gonna be rotated from 1 set to the next with every regular release. and new colors added for worlds

Or world 3 and 4 give SAB armor skins instead.

I don’t get the love for the current TM skins. I think the shade of green used and the yellow are ugly and they also seem much brighter than the original blue, which to me is a bad thing. Maybe it’s my graphic settings, but many times I barely see a weapon at all instead just a cloud of green or yellow gas. I don’t have that issue with the blue ones.

They might re-release the original skins, but probably not until something special like an anniversary or the completion of SAB. If their goal is to re-establish some form of prestige/exclusivity then a lot more in the AH need to be sold first. The market has been saturated with them since April and, honestly, aside from people being cheapskates I don’t understand the commotion surrounding them not returning.

I think that the new Super Skins are undervalued, seeing as they are not nearly as farmable due to the account-based chest rewards. In April, the rewards were character based instead. I’ve been running all of World 1 every day since SAB: BTS came out, and have not gotten a single skin drop. At this rate, I expected the prices to be much higher.

Also since it is now confirmed that we won’t have access to the old Super Skins, I don’t know why the price of those items has not gone up.

I wouldn’t invest in SAB ever again, especially considering the blue skins are now seen as inferior and not as numerous or alluring as the Trib colored skins

There’s also the fact that significantly less people are doing SAB this time around as well. It’s possible that the current skins will go up in price, but I think so many people were burned by SAB skin investments in the past they’re not going to touch these.

Are people manipulating the market? Or could something else explain why the price for pistol went up? I’d thought it would went down nearing the end of SAB with people putting their remaining stuff on the trading post(lowering the price).

But again it is going up… when I checked greatsword at april it also went up near end of april(then down again later).

Seems like someone with lot of gold is buying the cheaper stuff and putting it at higher price at the tp cause he is hoping to make a lot of money when SAB gets removed and people want to buy skins?

No, this is normal. It happens at EVERY event. Learn to love it. I’m not too sure about the reasoning, but I think it has to do with the “limited time only items will never be obtainable again, I MUST BUY ALL AND SELL FOR LOTS OF GOLD IN A FEW MONTHS”.

Of course after the event goes away people panic sell, because they see the price going down a bit. Then more and more people unload their skins and price comes down to the original price it was during the event.

Before event ends price always goes up, after the event ends price goes down.

I just like to thank you all for your gold, and I’ll be seeing you next event <3

Ha ha okay. I always thought it should go down first… then up later(when no new stuff can be farmed and the remaining ones are selling out and only few left at high price). But it really might be that a ton of people are waiting for price to go up(leading to supply getting low already now and price getting higher with supply higher later when a lot are selling at high price).
