Red halloween masks are characterized as the most "stable" of the 3 masks in terms of price fluctuation as blue and green masks are often stocked up by wealthier players and dumped near holidays to reset the price. This trend has been broken recently during the halloween of 2009 when the items did not reset to a lower value, while only crashing an average of 3-5mil gp. This is due to the increasing population of wealthy runescape players ( due to the new Player Killing system ) that allows players to earn a great amount of wealth in a shorter time span. Due to this new update, many players to 76k tricks or 26k tricks and get corrupt items and so the demand for holiday items has gone up because more players can afford it. Yet the supply of these rares are discontinued, meaning no longer in stock and so the prices do not fluctuate anymore and are relatively stable but possess an appealing trend of increase.
Red Halloween mask (since the crash in price on Halloween of 2009) has seen a trend of an average of 300k increase in value a day.
When buying this mask, the best place is in world 1 or world 2(members) at the Grand Exchange South entrance. Wealthy players here sell/trade red masks for cash+rising items. One important tip in trading here is to not follow the general flow of the crowd. Although you may see many people saying "selling red mask minimum price!" they are not actually selling, they are trying to manipulate the prices. Many people want the rares to go down in price so they can afford it, thus they go around saying they are selling the masks for low prices and they say masks are crashing when they are not. The best place to check for these prices of masks is on the grand exchange site on runescape.com and the forum on runescape.com under discontinued items.
Many players, before they quit, buy red masks because they are the most expensive rares in the gap between masks and party hats. And because of this, many red masks deplete in quantity and the supply is lessened which makes this the most expensive of the mask sets.
[edit] Trivia
- In the early days of RS2, red masks were around 300k. They steadily rose to a peak of 45m but have since dropped to around 16.7m where they remained steady in price for quite some time. Recently they shot back up to 43m in space of one month from around 16m where they were steady at for some time.
