Any ideas?

Well I'm a newbie at marketing, but Looking at the item itself (all the avatar equip options) it could be a good investment - people seem to like anything that can be equipped as a wig, and some people like armor too. As I said, I'm a newbie, but I think it could be something smile I've invested in a couple of the letters instead anyway, so people have a choice

As MC armor goes, it's not half bad. It looks like the artists spent more than a half hour designing it, the colors are fairly neutral, and the poses have some logic to them. Not to mention the hair, because people like white hair a lot. Although it's a little goofy-looking IMNSHO.

However, MC armor has not done well over time. (See Mythrill Armor, Damascus Armor, Demonic Armor, Sarmurai Yoroi, or just search for "armor premiummc in the MP.) Part of the problem is that to get the whole look with armor you need to buy multiples to equip, which reduces the price that a buyer can/will pay for each item.

I'm kind of meh on it. If the price goes down significantly I'll look into it further, but I don't like the lack of profit potential at a 90K buy price.

Hmm... nowadays, MCs don't seem like a good investment. They're only good when the hype is up (shortly before release and a few hours after release). Their price tend to stagger down after that.

An example to date is the ever-so-popular nightmare sash. It was well-loved. Hoarded way too much, had an initial pricing over 200k before slowly jumping down to the 100k region and now, sadly, it's around 90k-ish (at this time of post).

If you want a long term investment, MCs are okay, I guess. But aim for the popular ones. I don't think the armor falls into that category. I think you're far off better going for something like Muramasa or Light Spirit as I believe those two are still in the high-priced range until today.
