maybe you should start rethinking your "think they must be worth more" idea Im not trying to be rude by any means im just saying that every item you have posted for a price check so far you have not been happy with what the comunity has to say about the price. We give you a price for what past items have sold for but you seem to think they are worth more. 2 blood pacts have sold in the last year...one for 100m and one for 125m but you think they should sell for over 500m. The drop number is not the only thing thats considered when trying to price an item. there is a list of factors on this forum somewhere and maybe that will help you to decide on a price. Anyone know where that list is?
Trust me, I know exactly what the list is. I never heard of a blood pact selling for 100m, I did however hear of one selling for over 300m fairly quick. The one that sold for 125m everyone knows was at a steal at an auction, I have already had several offers over 300m and I do not feel like its worth 500m considering some of the offers go over 400m when trades are considered I most certainly feel its worth a 700m range considering the rarity, hue, quantity, the fact its never been duped etc lots of factors go into my judgment. This rose I said I feel its worth a lot more based on several other factors as well considering that several people have spoken saying they own one and are not selling meaning mine is one of few that may even be considered for sale thus bringing up the rarity and value IMO.
Now, you say "when the community gives me a price" in both of my price check threads that I said I felt the items were worth more, there was only 1 maybe 2 price checks so I certainly do not count 1-2 PC's a "community price quote".
This item in particular I really feel it being in the 150m-200m range. Now thats just my educated guess as to a price, with all things considered. An item is really only worth what someone is willing to pay for it which is exactly why i said "taking offers at this point".
So, while you claim your "not trying to be rude" your post has certainly come off as such, acting like my price check threads have gotten 700 price quotes from "the community" or something when in reality only 1-2 people actually posted some type of price check.
I get my price idea from this item by the following factors:
1.) A hue unlike the rest which happens to be a very nice one
2.) A 1 of 7 item (Rarity)
3.) Mesanna name on it which it seems a lot of people try to collect
4.) Napa event item which it seems a lot of people also try to collect
5.) One of few event items from that arch (compared to other archs)
6.) The fact that of the 7 that are out there atleast half or better are not for sale.
7.) Graphic, People like the rose graphic, its highly sought after and with the hue it has it makes it a very desirable piece.
Not necessarily in that order of course and other things may play into those factors but you get the general idea.
My factors for the blood pact:
1.) again the hue
2.) Rarity 1 of 10 perhaps less now with bannings etc(I can only find about 6)
3.) functionality, axe wep can easily pvm with it or something.
3.) type of item, axe wep, very few event items are weps, let alone an axe
4.) Name, very neat and desirable name
5.) the fact that it's one of very few items from that time period that has survived all duping implications. It has with stood many duping fiasco's never becoming tainted or stained with that trademark.
Again there may be more factors that play into it but still, you get the idea.
Now as far as what it has been sold for in the past. Based on the information I have gathered about this item from various people:
1.) sold about a year ago or so for 125m at an auction
2.) Another sold this year for over 300m
3.) 3 years ago one sold for 400m and another was about to be sold for 500m but the seller stopped returning messages.
4.) roughly 4 years ago one sold for 300-400m
5.) and the last one I could find info about was around 5-6 years ago and it still sold for about 350m
Now, with some proper research and such which most people here seem to have a hard time doing, I can personally find about 6 of these in museums but I have not had time to search all of the museums, some are closed and I know of at least one blood pact on an inactive account (possibly deleted or sold else where) so naturally there could be more, but this does help further the rationality behind my reasoning for the price I feel it to be worth.
Again though, I am taking offers on all items and no price is set in stone.
