Notes: Happy New Year! SB is more valuable than normal during January, especially when there are NYE items and apps in Monkey Business.

Notes: Great tits have been highly inflated recently, reaching 24gb in December, and I’m not sure why. They seem to be returning closer to historic levels now.

GB/SB conversion: 1/500!
Notes:
- Someone was undercutting the gb conversion rate when I checked, second lowest was 1/695, still very low. With the carrion shop tier 1 open, this is to be expected.
- I'm adding yohimbe bark and grain of paradise to the list.
- Great tits are continuing to go down in price (praise the lord); I'm wondering if there will be a spike in Feb associated with the tier 3 breeding boom.

Notes: Someone is flexing in the gb sales page; they've listed 20,000gb for sale at 700sb each! The cheapest, realistic gb bundle up for sale is 1/784. Gb value is climbing, in exact time with NYE items leaving Monkey Business. Ochre powder prices are also dipping, maybe in anticipation of treasure hunting later this month. It'll be interesting to see how low they get!

Notes: Besides a single offer of 100gb for 750sb each, small-batch trades are going for 1/795; the conversion is still low but climbing to more normal levels. Great tits have dropped another gb, and crunchies are outpacing scrotums of both kinds.

Notes: The gb conversion rate is getting healthier. As we get closer to opening tier 2 and then 3 of the carrion shop, it'll be interesting to see if there are matching dips. Lion scrotes are crashing faster than buffies, and crunchies and buffies are holding steady at a matching value.

Notes: A small dip in gb/sb value as predicted. Many of the gb prices are the same for breeding items, some interesting things happening at the bottom of the great tit market, lots of split pricing with gb and sb combined, making the true lowest price sort of unclear.

Notes: There was one GMO Cow for 32gb but that might be a "need gone fast" kind of deal, as the prices do not seem to have gone down apart from this one listing. Ochre Saltlicks may be changing in value, the three lowest listings were very different at 37gb, 39gb and 40gb.

Notes: Adding lion meat to tracking by request. There was a great tit for sale for 10gb today, and another for 10gb and some sb. I'd still love to know what caused the spike, but I'm very happy they're going back down. Crunchies and Buffies are back to matching in price. Lion scrotes are still falling, likely in anticipation for February.

Notes: Lion meat is officially in-season now that tier 3 of the carrion shop has opened and it can be purchased for 2000sb. Surprisingly, ochre powder has surged to 15gb even with treasure hunting coming up in 5 days--that's more than double the value 2 days ago!

Notes: Great tits are still declining in price, lion scrotes have unexpectedly surged to above both buffies and crunchies in price. My guess is that this is likely just a small fluctuation, and not a permanent pattern.

Notes: Buffies are higher than expected today at 28gb, it's possible that the selling boom is slowing down as people are getting ready for Feb. The lowest prices for lion scrotes, crunchies and a few other valuable breeding items are getting fuzzy, as many people are listing a gb value with 200-500sb added. I ignored these listings, but a few were much cheaper than the cheapest, taking gb/sb conversion into account.

Notes: Not a lot of movement today. Buffies are back down to 25gb from 28gb, and ochre saltlicks have jumped up to 40gb from 37gb yesterday. Treasure hunting starts tomorrow, so I expect a dip in ochre powder prices soon; they've already dipped backdown to 10gb from 12gb yesterday.
