Price Check: Golden Goose

[AcidSpiral]

I have a Golden Goose I am considering selling and am looking to find out what the average price on these is.

Several months ago I paid 20k silver for one. If you figure on turning all the eggs in to bars and selling on the NPC stall, the Return on Investment here is pretty poor: I should've probably negotiated a bit.

That is right.

I'd say less than 20k, but you are not looking at "getting your investment back" here, for you don't "lose" anything if you payed a good price, that is, the golden goose is very rare and valuable on it's own, you aquire that value for silver (or whatever you pay) and you keep that value (as long as you feed your golden^^), so the golden eggs are actually just a bonus.

It is also good to point out that with easter coming up in a few months there is a high likelyhood of the egg hunt returning - so long as you are activly checking stumps you can find a good number of red eggs that will hatch into fertile turkeys. These turkeys have a chance of laying a golden goose. From the very small data pool I've had i would say that within a year three fertile turkeys are highly likely to have given you one golden goose.

From my experience, the chance to get one is far less on average, but I might just be unlucky with those.

If I were JC, I'd limit the number of (living) GGs on the server, after all you need to feed them, so if someone goes inactive, that's it.
Either hard, meaning new can only spawn if the total number is less than whatever is set,
or soft, having the spawn chance reduced for every life GG.
Well, I doubt it is that way. But they are rare.
