Last year, limited-time collaboration skins in Onmyoji turned into 'investment assets' within the community. These skins were only purchasable with premium currency, and players were allowed to buy up to three to resell on the secondary market. Due to high demand and limited supply, the original 68-yuan skins soared to over 300 yuan, giving many players a taste of easy profit.
Encouraged by this success, players flocked to hoard the new 'Box Girl' (匣中少女) skin last month, with many even using multiple accounts to stock up. However, a month later, the market crashed. The skin, originally priced at 68 yuan, plummeted to around 50 yuan, with massive supply flooding the market and few takers.
In this scenario, regardless of how market prices fluctuate, the developer NetEase remains the ultimate winner, pocketing a 10% commission on every transaction.
Community comments reflected a mix of shock and mockery, labeling it as a 'fictional investment product.' Others pointed out that the Box Girl skin has lower utility compared to previous collab skins. The scalpers ignored supply-and-demand fundamentals, turning themselves into the 'leeks' (a term for retail investors exploited by professionals) being harvested.
