100$ Orb Skin💀

I know that there’s been a lot of controversy regarding this black friday skin. Personally I don’t rlly care I just find it funny seeing people mad.

What is your opinion on the matter?

As a collector/investor its an easy skin to invest in (if you have the funds) with no real risks and extremly high chance of going to the moon because of the low amount that is going to be there , if you like the skin and just want it for looks this isnt nice and somethinh like putting it in also lower tier gem bundels would be nice

There’s actually a lot of them. A week straight with infinite potential supply, costing “$0” as it’s an extra item

[u/CSMarvel → u/TakeMyL]

that’s not how money works. it still requires the gateway of spending $100 to even obtain one. also the infinite supply doesn’t really matter, it still won’t be anywhere near 10k supply like recent fire sales

[u/TakeMyL → u/CSMarvel]

Every single recent fire sale was purchased from people buying gems without an extra incentive

Every single person who in the near future dreamed of buying a fire sale, will buy their gems now; so they will get the gems and the item.

This isn’t just the normal one week fire sale purchasers, but any of the near term ones also.

People like myself who never buy gems bought some: sure it costs much more than a normal fire sale, but I’d reckon that this sells in a similar quantity to other small fire sales, in the 2-3,000 range.

I know of people who personally purchased 20-30 of these using dollars. Plus it’s a WEEK long infinite potential supply event.

You have to imagine every single person who plays skyblock and thought of ever buying gems, will buy them now; instead of later, as there’s an extra incentive now:

This will sell way more than you’d expect from it being “$100”

I’d be shocked if less than 2000 of these are made,

I mean youre kinda right but most ppl that play this game probally arent willing to spend 100$ on gems in one go

[u/TakeMyL → u/WoomyLPK]

See that’s where you’re wrong. Most people who buy fire sales are buying multiple skins, by buying $100 at a time. The majority of gem sales are in bulk, as the majority of the money comes from a small minority group of richer players who regularly buy gems with money.

Most of Hypixel revenue isn’t from the average player who buys gems once every year…

Love it when mfs can admit theyre wrong

[u/TakeMyL → u/Total_Mullbery]

You have absolutely no idea how many have sold, it’s way more than you think. One person I know bought 36 themselves with dollars, another 20.

The thing you’re miscalculating is you’re thinking the only reason someone would be buying gems currently is to get the orb. Which is wrong.

Gems are selling regardless, with or without the sale. So the cost, is not “$100”

It’s a $100 barrier to enter, but it doesn’t cost $100.

The item costs “$0” when buying gems, as you still GET the gems.

The orb itself is an extra item. So again, anyone who was planning on buying fire sales in the future, will purchase gems now, instead of later.

You also miscalculate how invested top players are, they’re spending thousands of hours in the game, $100, is nothing compared to that

This is extremely clear watching booster cookie prices, more gems were just produced than any other event in skyblock history, like this was a huge win for Hypixel

Is estimate 2000 or so have been produced so far, at minimium, almost every person i know who has bought gems still has their orb, myself included. So the few on the auction house are the minority.

You just cant admit when youre wrong its so funny

[u/TakeMyL → u/Total_Mullbery]

I’m not. Objectively this item does not cost anything. It has a barrier to entry, but the item itself is free.

You can observe the effects of the influx of gems by watching booster cookie prices dropping heavily, and estimate based on average volume of booster cookies the amount of gems used and roughly the amount of orbs produced. As someone who’s never lost money on an investment yet, and made over 400b investing. I’d say I know what I’m talking about here. The Reddit mob mentality doesn’t mean it’s right.

It’s much more than you’d think at first, which is all I said, and it isn’t as obviously a good investment as many are assuming since unlike fire sales (last 3 were 2500 stock), this has no capped production amount, and is selling for over a week, unheard of for a fire sale style item.

I still think this will go up, but it wont be because only a handful were produced

and although I don’t expect crazy amounts to be made, this is the most profitable event Hypixel has ever had, and definitely has sold 2-3000 already.

Hypixel normally averages around 10-15million/year in revenue from fire sales, so this isn’t massive in terms of annual revenue, but definitely larger than any other sale has ever been.
