Alright, this really pisses me off when I hear about headdresses going down, so here's my 2-bob's worth:

So originally, back at about March 2017 (and early April) headdresses (excl rim) started at 7 black longs, and ranged up to 33 for light-pink. Furries were 40. There were usually 2-4 black longs' gap per headdress. Then on the 15th of April, "duping" started to happen, and any item could be duped. The items that were most heavily duplicated were lphd's, then furries, and subsequently higher headdresses, down to around the orange-level. That said, other items were duplicated as well, but on a much smaller scale.

This caused trust in headdresses to be brought down to a standstill.

Eventually all the duplicates were deleted, however some people still believed there were some duplicated ones out there, and it's because of this, that larger headdresses were never restored to their former value.

They were rather stable and tradeable up until around 3 (might be wrong here) months ago, when some aldanicus thotticus (a scientific term for a rare jammer with a trash look and an attitude to match) went and said that "large headdresses have low demand". This wasn't true, but it sparked a distrust that brought the large ones down to the values they have now. This person would have said so for their own personal gain. The problem is, just because an item is large, doesn't mean it's low-demand. You can't expect to trade for a large headdress and immediately have someone with 16 black longs to trade that straight away.

Last off comes the demise of the lower headdresses, and that's just because other headdresses were trending downwards, so the community treated them like their higher counterparts.

Oh and for RIM HD's, they've stayed at their old value for quite some time, and it's a rather old rim, and also confirmed to not be coming back, so eventually in theory, it should come up to its original headdresses brothers and sisters.

Essay complete.

Please do not @ me
