This is to all you budding valueists! To make your reports as well set out and easy to read as possible, follow these instructions! You do not have to post like this, customize it to your liking, or simply use it as it is!

Firstly, make sure the content of your report is valid. For example, make sure you post your values in the right section, and always include the 3 main points, its easy to remember as: NVT
Name
[Try to keep it in line with those used on habbox.com]
Value [For normal rares use HC, for super rares use T + HC, and for seasonals or sports and posters use RD]
Times Seen [Only include a value you have seen traded several times, as a trade you have seen 1 time doesn't give as accurate a price of what the whole uk hotel is trading at!]


Secondly,
for the more experienced or confident valueists, you can include a brief summary or prediction about the rare. If you dont feel confident, then there is no need to include one, and your chance of getting a trial will not be affected if you do or do not include them!

Once you make sure you have included all of these in your report, you can move onto editing the layout, and adding pictures to make your report clear, concise and easy to read.

Secondly, it is always a good idea to include a bit of colour!!! Colour coding is one of the easiest ways to make your values extremely easy to understand. All you have to do, is choose 3 colours. Each colour will represent 1 thing, for example if i will use red blue and green. Then, decide what each colour will represent, and include this as a key. EG:
Red is for rares trading below their habbox value
Blue is for rares trading at their habbox value
Green is for rares trading above their habbox value.

Another way to make your report easy to read, is the use of bold italic and underlined text. If you incorporate this with colours, you can make a very clear report quite quickly. Here is a short example report. [These are not accurate]
Red is for rares trading below their habbox value
Blue is for rares trading at their habbox value
Green is for rares trading above their habbox value.

Throne - 20 HCs [Seen 4 Times]
Green BB - 10 HCs [16 Times]
Snowglobe - 0.5 HC [3 Times]

Also, including images in your report adds a nice touch, not only does it mean people that are unaware or cannot remember what a certain rare looks like can look at your report [all habbox valuists do, im talking about people new to habbo or the forum] and understand what rare you are talking about. It also means less reading for us lazy bunch, and makes the report pretty! To add images, follow this simple guide:

First, in a new window, go to www.habbox.com, then navigate to 'Rare Values' and choose the link that is relevant to the type of rare you are reporting. Then, right click on the picture of this rare, and select 'Properties'. Finally, copy the the url it gives you, in Firefox, it is under Location, and on Internet Explorer, it is under 'Address'
.
Then, highlight this and copy it by using Ctrl + C or right clicking and selecting 'Copy'. Then go back to your report window, type in [img] before the url you type and [/img] after it, for example:
[img]PICTURE URL HERE[/img]

Here is a simple report using the ideas i have given you so far:

Here is my value report, i had included all the trades i have seen today!

Red is for rares trading below their habbox value
Blue is for rares trading at their habbox value
Green is for rares trading above their habbox value.

- 20 HCs [4 Times] - Not many people buying, i think it could go down
- 9 HCs [3 Times] - everybody seems to want 1, i think its rising!
- 6 HCs [6 Times] - more and more people want 1, rising!!

Thanks for reading, i hope they help!
[This is an example, and the values are made up, so dont copy them!]

Finally, there is 1 last thing you can do to your values.
Just above this box, is a handy little toolbar with lines that are in the middle. If all your values are centered, it looks alot neater, you can also include underscores to seperate the values. This if down to personal preference, and is completely upto you!

Here is my value report, i had included all the trades i have seen today!

Red is for rares trading below their habbox value
Blue is for rares trading at their habbox value
Green is for rares trading above their habbox value.
