I've have recently (eh, within the last few months or so) been accumulating a small collection of G1s, and wanted the G1 collector's (like, users that have been collecting G1s for years) thoughts on my babies! First, my boy Mark: [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=38378768] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/383788/38378768_350.png[/img] [/url] Not all that grand, but I liked him enough to trade 25 Noc eggs for him pre-gened/breed changed X3 Then, Salt: [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=47888885] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/478889/47888885_350.png[/img] [/url] Swamp tert isn't good at all... but if left basic, he's a good Pastel!

I'm not a collector, but what I can tell you as someone who's tried hatching eggs and selling that hatchlings (which is not a good use of your money btw), very few G1s are actually worth much. If you get lucky and find someone who wants the color combination you have, you may be able to charge them more. But most of the time, you're going to end up losing money. Selling them gened usually won't do you much better, because not everyone will like the genes you choose.

Generally G1s are only going to raise a profit if they have an interesting ID number or are an XXY/XYX/XYY/XXX. Otherwise it's all based on time and luck. I've sold some dragons for hundreds of gems more than I expected. Others I thought I would sell for 300g+ ended up only being around 20g. The supply is larger than the demand, so you really have to get something that's beautiful by the standards of a large number of people in order to actually turn a profit.

@kyrin18

You have a really cool collection of G1s so far! Welcome to the endless cycle of most likely never having much dragon cash for too long since your dergs need genes or you just found a new neautiful G1... Or that's what happened to me when I got into G1 collecting :''DD

I must say that you've had some sweet luck finding a multi-gaze dragon that cheap, she has awesome colors too! Also Bion and Mark are gorgeous! OwO <3
