"Lord of Federation's recent average price is low because Twala sold his for... Doom Bucket, Sparkle Time Fedora (x2), Night Vision Goggles, Windforce (x2), Ice Dagger, Wanwood Antlers (x2), Arctic Commando, Ghostwalker and 101,000 robux. "
-Zevade
Sure, it's a rare hat that was high in price. But, it is also not very easy on the eyes. Why is it selling for so high? Why did the person who traded for Twala's give so much? Why would anyone pay that much for that hat? Sure it's very low in stock, but is it really a rarity deal here? Owning a hat that's really rare but looks bad and lacks high demand?
It's ugly and low in stock. There are a lot of hats that are ugly and low in stock that failed horribly. For example, Red Erikson's Lament sold for 600 with only 100 in stock. Its average price nowadays is 5,000 ROBUX. Why? Because it's ugly. The Red Grind sold for 7 ROBUX and had 100 in stock and its average price is 500,000 ROBUX. So, they sold for low amounts of ROBUX with the same # stock, the Red grind sells for 100 times the amount the Lament does.
Why?
Because Red Erikson's Lament does not look very good.
Red Grind does.
They are both equally rare, but Grind sells for higher because it looks better than the Lament.
However, the new Crown looks very bad. It was expensive (250,000 ROBUX) and very low in stock (10). This isn't an excuse for it to sell high.
What made that person pay so much for it? |

| Because it is like the Bling Boy's Rainment (sp?). It is the rarity that makes it expensive, and it shows a rich user. |

| Even if it's rare - is it really worth giving up all the expensive items you worked hard on getting for, just to wear an ugly hat on your head for the rest of your ROBLOX life that nobody would ever pay anything of value higher than you did for it? |

The beauty of this hat i find is its description. "All of creation is yours".May perfom some kind of cheap moves in the upcoming crafting system. |

I made a thread, explaining things similar to this, when it first came out.
Merely will eventually get unbanned and will need to obtain this hat. The only obstacle is that there are only 2 people willing to sell it. I'm not exaggerating. RangemeludE, TheGamer101, Gaara51 and other extremely wealthy users are not willing to give it up easily. For the rest, they may want to hold onto it because of how rare it is. To get the hat, he will have to offer a Dominus AND more items. I've been offered a Dominus Frigidus, Eerie and Infernus already, but declined. |

Ah.
So everyone's racing to get it so Merely will overpay for it, then everyone will stop caring about it? |

No. It shows extreme wealth, due to it's low quantity. It breaks 2 ROBLOX item records. 1. Lowest in stock (that wasn't exploited, aka April 1st) 2. Highest original price
This hat looks ugly, like the domino crown does, yet millions of users dream all day long (exaggeration much?) about getting one. |

| I, personally, like the crown, but if it was an infinite stock and at 250k R$, I still wouldn't get it, because as far as I'm concerned, it's not worth it. |

@Zevade;
Domino Crown is a classic hat. People strive for classic hats. Although, sometimes, it looks good, depending on your combination. |

The Domino Crown looks pretty good, actually.
At least in my opinion.
On a second note, I don't think owning the rarest hat in ROBLOX would be that great of an achievement if nobody likes it. |

Also megaman, adding onto my post, it's not a race at all. One person has to be giving the item for the trade to go through, so it isn't a race at all or they would have kept it. |

Doesn't matter if it's appealing or not. If you had the opportunity to give up everything you had for wealth, bragging rights (Holding a double record-breaking hat), fame (because you are one of the few) and respect, wouldn't you?
And don't even start to say (because I know you will) that it's ugly, because it doesn't matter. If it's ugly and people offer Dominuses, Eerie's, Darkhearts and Ice Crowns for it, then it's absolutely worth keeping. |
