and I'm happy to see the rares collecting being that healthy! I think holiday items were awesome when they started making more of them, a lot of people love those items and they are pretty cheap to pick up. A woman I know collects them, she doesn't call herself a "rares collector" but at any rate, I'm happy she's part of the collecting community as a whole.
Does anyone have any other items to list? I'm always interested to see what's hot and rare, seems to change a lot and hard to know.
I didn't get to put in my two cents on the other thread about the rares before it got locked, but to me, the term "rare", whether it be server birth rares, monthly rares, daily rares, event item rares, Seer rares, GM rares, accidental unlocked rares, the bottom line is we gave these titles so we can identify them and the general time line they are associated with. Some people collect older items some collect new but nevertheless they are all rares. I can respect you for collecting server births only but don't forget more than 50-75 of server births were dupped so by definition since they were introduced again 9-10 years later do we still call them server births?
Currently whats hot are the Event Items and that's mainly due to the majority of the current players can identify themselves with by knowing for the most part when and where they came from and that their quantities are limited while their qualities makes some of them desirable.
But to answer your question, it is very hard to decide what's hot right now because the Ultra Ultra Event Item Rares for the most part haven't been up for sale in years. And the knowledge is only kept by a few who still remembers them. The best way to identify them is that they are low in number mostly 1 of a kind and they are either moded or has a secondary function if it was a deco. I can get you started by listing some. I'd imagine these would fall over the billion gp range by now.
