High Value Staking

i like this idea alot. You could also expand it to staking accounts/ pins. Winner takes the other persons accounts/ pin.
id be really interested

 

Can't wait for this to begin, it's a great idea and im suprised it took so long for someone to suggest it.

 

Sounds like a great idea, I would definitely love to try this out.

 

Fantastic idea. I'd definitely take part.

Unrealistic. The forum would lead to very few actual trades. There wouldn't be enough popularity.

Everyone's saying, "I can't wait!", but the majority of people don't have the GP, rares, willingness to bet, or pure accounts.

 

What about all the people who posted in this thread that miss staking?

 

Amazing idea. I completely support!

BRING BACK STAKING!

This would bring so much more traffic into sythe. It would completely revamp the duel arena on RS if this works out properly.

 

Picture.

And both of stakers would stake a specifical item, ex. willow logs, so it cannot be edited so easily.

 

How would each participant trade the Red Halloween Mask to the Middleman?

 

Normal in-game trade.

 

Simply put, the item is worth more then the cash its self, so the middleman would buy the rares for the cash value from each player, which is less then the market value, then the middle man would have the 2 masks and the players would have cash.

 

If we´re getting this, would be betting on a player be possible aswel? For example: Player 1 vs Player 2 are fighting, both are staking aswel. Can I put money on Player 1 to guess he'd win? If I loose the one who has made a bet on Player 2 gets my money? Or would this just get way to complicated/abused/manipulated?

 

Then what's the point in that? You're not risking anything..

 

Just street price. So basically you can sell the red mask for $25 here..

 

There's a large difference between street price and trade price

 

Well, as a a few others posted before me, the market price is a lot greater then the Grand Exchange price, since the item is being inflated. So if you were going to sell the item on the street, not the grand exchange, the item would sell for around 225m instead of 158m the grand exchange price. ( Just an estimate, not actual street numbers). This is possible by using junk.

 

Could also be crowns etc, so people dont have to be that rich
Support, could be fun

 

Some items you cannot buy in the grand exchange, due to a low supply and a high demand. Ex: h'ween masks, partyhats, pumpkins, disks and other discontinued items or very hard to obtain items such as Ely or Divine shields. The middle man would buy the items for trade price, meaning the normal price of the item, hold the items and give them to the winner. Because the items are hard to obtain, they have "street" value, which means they are theoretically worth more then their actual trade price. So the winner would gain items with "street value" which could be sold for usd or used in game. On a side note, i do have an account which i could middle man trades with which has about a billion gp.
