The chance of getting them was very low though. That, and their color, made them very high in demand. The main reasons for their decrease in rarity was people hacked them into the game, and now AJHQ giving the away for prizes for Vidcon.

Alright, even if they weren't released, when has AJHQ ever given out an unreleased item for a prize or, acted like it existed in the game? Also, AJHQ give out spikes all the time! Oh noo does that mean they are going to re-release the original rare spikes? No. They only gave them out because they are considered rare, and just like giving out a ton of money, people want rares.

This page about the black socks hasn't been updated in a month. AJHQ arent giving out anymore socks. They only gave them out during VidCon. That being said, they are lower, but they are also going to be increasing in rarity, whether you like it or not. Sure, they will come back this jamaliday. Then they will go back down some more. But after that, guess what, they will probably rise again because of demand.

Just be happy people are wanting 1-2 black longs for it rather than their old worth, 6-7 black longs, if you are trying to get them. Because some people worked their butts off to get them back when they were worth that. That's why they want to sell it for what they bought it for, probably less. Actually, AJHq also gives them out on livestreams and instagram giveaways. Quite recently too. I did some research to discover exactly how many b&w socks AJHQ have rewarded since Vidcon. I still would like you to consider my point. I'd like to point out the salt in LobotomyHylics' post. They are worth much less than they used to be. Be thankful for that. People are trying to trade them for a lot NOT because they want to SCAM. It's because it worked hard to get them and traded tons for them, and they want to get their rares back. Basically, AJHQ scammed us all lol. Back when they were first released, AJHQ marketed them as some super rare item that you would never be able to get again other than the jamaaliday socks gift. Few months later, they are now making them worth nothing, puting everyone hard work to waste. I don't think they do this on purpose, but they seriously need to realise it.

AJHQ haven't given out the black and white socks on Instagram since August 9th, and they have hosted 4 CONTESTS (not giveaways btw, people worked for them) since that. There were almost 40 winners. I think there were so many because they aren't going to be giving anymore for prizes, in which they haven't since.

Although, In their last live stream, which happened on August 16th, they gave out 3 pairs of  black socks. In their livestream on July 12th, they only gave out 1 pair of black socks. And in  their livestream on July 3rd they gave out 3 more pairs. So since Vidcon ended June 23rd, they've given away 7 pairs on Youtube.

The best thing to do is just wait. The rarity isn't settled yet. People are trying to get their rares back, people are holding onto their socks to see what will happen in the future.
