Masks & money - will halloween masks go for a load after this event?
Please tell all thoughts on how you think the masks will trade after the halloween event ends. Do you think the prices to sell them will be high? Do you think there will be a lot of people who missed them who will want them, do you think they will be unique in respect to future events, do you think they are worth investing in/saving ....?
Currently on XBO NA they go for 200-300k each just fyi :]

Valethar✭✭✭✭I've seen some pretty ridiculous prices being advertised in chat. The greed is there already, and will get worse when the event ends.
That said, there's a lot of time left before it ends, so the chances are good that you'll get at least one before then. In the meantime, if you see a price that's reasonable, jump on it. There are a lot of folks out there who don't have their craniums lodged firmly in their rectums and aren't gouging prices. Shop the stores regularly for deals between farm runs, it can't hurt, and you may well find yourself a deal.Resistance is not futile! Say no to the Greed Collective™. Boycott Crown Crates.4 -

✭✭✭Someone kindly sold me the pumpkin one for 60k last night and it completed my list of items from the event. 60k is generous considering there's a lot of people asking and others paying a lot more than that.0 -
Silverado✭✭✭Honestly, I would say there's a pretty good chance Zos will market the masks in the crown store sometime later this year, after the event. Pure speculation, but I could see it happening.Edited by Silverado on October 16, 2016 9:56PMPs4 NA Aldmeri Dominion

Collectors and just normal players are gonna want the after the event.... Atleast the pumpkin one. The pumpkin one already has a really REALLY high asking. So all the people who hoped its gonna drop for them are gonna start buying them. First the price will go down to almost nothing compared to first sales (its already 40-60k on PC EU) then they will go up since its unobtainable.

✭✭✭✭✭I went through about 200 skulls so far and earned one scarecrow mask and just bought the missing pumpkin mask when the price dipped to 50k. It will probably drop even more before the event ends. I'd imagine the price to rise again through the new year as players that missed the event look to buy leftover masks that have been stashed away. Depending on how many of these get pulled in the next couple weeks, that price might not be as high as some originally speculated.Edited by redspecter23 on October 17, 2016 12:20PM0 -

100k for a mask? Had to buy hollow jack motifs for 2k each, just to also hear the vamp/ww bites have increased to 4k.
Why is the community so greedy lately? I mean compensation is reasonable, but this is ridiculous. Ridiculous enough for me to start giving motifs, masks and Vamp Bites away for free to break the market a little. It makes me a little sick thinking the community has gotten this stingy in a matter of a few months.
Guess I'll just keep giving stuff away for free or at a reasonable price to break the market a littleDragonborn, huh? Was it your ma or your pa that was the dragon?3 -

lol, on PC the motif pages were going for over 100k on the first day.
Second day they had already dropped down to under 10k, now they are all under 5k and many go for 1-2k.
I haven't found any masks yet after opening around 80 chests so I might buy them, might not. After Halloween is gone everyones gonna be going crazy for whatever motif/mask Life Festival will be offering and the Halloween masks will be soooo last month.0 -

✭Yes they will raise in price, since there will be no more supply and only what people haven't opened already.
I've only had 1 so far but I'm hoping to get the other one I need and have like 2 spair to save for a few months and then sell on0 -

Thats what Im thinking the prices will inevitably go up like the prices of party hats perhaps?
My only real questions are if they will get ZOSsed etc or if they will appear again exactly the same next year (doubtful) please nerf writs0 -
drakhan2002_ESO✭✭✭✭✭The prices are starting to fall. Yesterday, 10/16/16 I obtained the scarecrow mask from a drop and purchased the pumpkin for 15K gold. I saw the pumpkin being advertised for between 30K and 50K in zone chat. But this is during the event. After the event, the prices may go up for those not lucky enough to get them.
Hold on to them for a few months. The prices will drop on these things as more and more people get them and sell their duplicates during the event. Afterwards, some who were not as lucky may get jealous or new players may want them.Edited by drakhan2002_ESO on October 17, 2016 1:06PM1 -

People will be people. Considering how people treat each other elsewhere in this game (and outside of this game, for that matter), it's really no surprise. Just another case of yout typical h0mo homini lupus*.
When the witches festival started and I saw pumpkins and guts for sale at every guild store for 999 gold each, I just shook my head and said "of course". The most baffling thing isn't that people try to exploit others and leech gold out of them, the baffling thing is that many are actually buying pumpkins for 999 gold each (when they're sold at the NPC next door for like 20 gold). And buying new motif chapters for 200-300k per page. You just have to look at your MM charts to see that.
But then again, I suppose some people have exploited this game so massively in the past, by botting, by insta-spawning easy-to-kill mobs, by bugs and glitches and what not, that they just have so much money now that they couldn't really give a damn.
*And wow on ZOS for actually censoring the word h0mo. I mean, it used to mean 'human' in good old latin, but now I guess it's nothing but a swear word that needs to be weeded out by your crappy autocensor system. Just like the 'd0ng' in the quote from 'The Wizard of Oz' that goes: "Ding, d0ng, the witch is dead". Crappy autocensor will be crappy autocensor.Edited by Carbonised on October 17, 2016 1:09PM1 -

✭✭✭The motifs drop pretty often, I got all the motifs now, after two times of playing (some drops, some from guildbank).
But I bet that the masks and the Hollowjack style mats are going to sell pretty high after the festival0 -

It's disgusting.
I've stopped caring what people ask for compensation, as most of their prices are ridiculous. All I can do is keep giving stuff away for free I don't see as valuable as they do. Makes me sick how they exploit people like that.Dragonborn, huh? Was it your ma or your pa that was the dragon?0 -

Now have 18 plunder skulls to go and still no pumpkin mask. Got another scarecrow mask though, so might be able to trade. Have two spare gold recipes and probably close to another full set of motifs. If I get the pumpkin mask, I'll hold the scarecrow for a few months and see if anyone wants to buy."Get off my lawn!"0 -

You know you don't have to stop at 100 skulls, right? I mean, you probably do know, but since you mentioned 2 times how many skulls "to go" you have, I just wanted to make sure you know you could collect 'em till you get sick of doing so before the end of the event...

Am a little over halfway there on NA char and not gotten a mask or a gold recipe. Upside there is she actually needs the delve discos in the AD so getting some double down
