Santa Tracker

Less than a week ago, Santas were selling for about 20 mil, today I see they are going for 23 mil. Wow. It will be interesting to see if they fall sometime soon, I'm betting that they will.

08/24/06 Update : When I look today, I see people trying to sell santas for 23 mil, but I don't see any takers at that price. People are claiming that prices will be falling as kids return to school, I'm interested to see if this pans out.

Moving forward, I'll be tracking santa prices in this post.

06/15/06 : 11.1 mil (prices dipped due to addition of construction skill)
08/15/06 : 20.0 mil
08/24/06 : 22.5 mil
08/28/06 : 25.6 mil (santas skyrocket on news of cursed_you ban)
08/30/06 : 26 mil (it'll be interesting to see if we see a slight dip as the cursed_you news gets old)
08/31/06 : 25 mil (suprise, suprise)
09/05/06 : 25.75 mil
09/07/06 : 25.5 mil
09/12/06 : 25.4 mil
09/15/06 : 25.4 mil
09/20/06 : 25.25 mil
09/22/06 : 25.5 mil
09/26/06 : 30 mil! (what happened?!?)
10/02/06 : 27.5 mil
10/12/06 : 25.8 mil (I'm guessing they will start going back up shortly)
10/23/06 : 26.3 mil (I guess I was wrong.. :))
11/13/06 : 22 mil (I thought rares would take a hit when the lvl 99 capes came out. It didn't happen immediately, but I'd guess this is the delayed reaction to the release)

After a long layoff, I've decided to start updating this section again. Over the past several months, I've seen santas peak at 25 mil. When the new shop update came into play, santas took a bit of a hit resulting in current prices of:

10/11/07 : 22.8 mil

For a long time, it has been said that rares are the only item certain to rise in price over time, but I'm not so sure that is true. It seems to me that Jagex is making a concerted effort to curb this by constantly introducing things into the game that drain money from players' pockets.

11/05/07 : 23.3 mil

u got some things wrong, at some point it was at 26M, and when the construction skill came out, they were 9M or 10M

Hey Ray, thanks for the feedback.

You are right, prior to the realease of the construction skill, santas were much higher in price than 11 million and they did drop lower than 11 million at one point.

That said, I started keeping track of prices when I actually bought one myself and they were 11 million by the time I finally saved up enough cash.
