sad that greed has got the better of a lot of players ,last year the prices were not like this but nothing you can do if a few set the price the sheep will follow.

Hello!
Try not too worry about current prices.
They usually drop right down to 5-10c each, if no ones buys them the quicker they fall in price.
Enjoy the event.

When people buy at these prices then the price is right. What you think is irrelevantOriginally Posted by BobLurker
1 egg = 20 coins. Really? Wonder how many hours/days it will take before some sanity establishes itself.
I'm not giving you 20 coins for 1 egg, OK?
I know I'm not the only one thinking this, and that's why I've made this thread. I'll see you all in the trading office...
I love it when people talk the prices up or down, is it wishful thinking or tactics? Only at the end of the event will we know what the value of the eggs was really, and even then it will depend on what each player has achieved ( or not) compared to what they set out to achieve. And Bob if you think 10gc is a good price ...then sell me some, I'll buy all you have at that price( shame we're not on the same server
On our server, resellers are buying eggs at 17-18gc and then trying to sell them for 20-22gc.When people buy at these prices then the price is right. What you think is irrelevant
Each day explorers come in with eggs and people complete parts of their quest, if these people aren't interested in selling to the resellers then they are going to sink those eggs in to the event items and therefore reduce demand. If they do sell to the resellers then demand is still reduced because the people selling value coins more than they do the event items and they wont take a loss in coins, they can't afford it. The going price for watermills on our server is about 3k coins so no-one is going to buy eggs to sink in to watermills at more than 13gc, it's pointless, so it's obvious what that does for demand. The only people buying at the top end 20-22gc inflated price to buy event items are those who have more coins than than they know what to do with and that reduces demand. The resellers are tapping the same low end inflated market of 17-18gc as other players who want to buy event items right now and have no choice but to pay that low end inflated price, that reduces demand.
I had 20k coins at the start of the event, I have more coins than I started with, I've got the two explorers and I'm on course to get the Vet general before the end of the event without spending my coins on eggs. I'm only going to buy eggs at 12gc or lower and if they don't drop that low I simply don't care. I'm level 44, there are a lot of players like me and there are a lot of lower level players who are selling eggs to resellers.
Buying high to fix a price so you can sell at an even higher price is an extremely high risk strategy because bubbles, inevitably, burst.
What buyers think is never, ever, irrelevant if you want to run a successful business.
Sell high early and buy low later. It's an age old strategy. I've been selling my eggs for 20gc, and will buy the ones I need when the price is right. If it's never right, then at least I got a ton of gold coins out of it.
It's not my fault that I never learned to take responsibility.
Excellent analysis.On our server, resellers are buying eggs at 17-18gc and then trying to sell them for 20-22gc.

I won't spend my gold coin getting eggs at the price of 18-20gc each either. Before the event started, I'd think it would be about 10 gc each at most, but even at that price the rabbit buff is going to cost 1200 gc each and there will be no profit any more. At that price, the only items that are valuable to buy to me are Vet gen and experienced explorer, probably watermill too. Watermill is priced about 3300-3900gc each on my server now which are higher than usually about 800-1400gc, not really a big deal, but since we are limited to 5 watermills per person so I try to buy them in market as many as I can before I have to use my limit. Like other events I guess eggs price will go down, at least for the last week of the event when everyone already get what they want, hopefully.
last easter the price of eggs dropped by about half in the last couple of weeks, on quite a few occasions i bought 100eggs for around 50gc near the end, even as little as 40gc.
Well thanks to those egg opportunists the prices are going still up in our server and there seems to be no end at this madness..Well I have to start offering too, too because I'm not going to spend over 2000 for 100 eggs to those greedy resellers who think this kind of game is fun..
