Honestly I'd wait a few days and buy one off the GE, I would put my money on them raising a little bit once free trade is solid again and everything has settled but I think once free trade is out you'll see prices jump a bit because people will be able to make their own price without having to use junk again.
Gold is slowly rising in value as well, it was a good idea on Jagex to let people charge chaotics with gp cuz it's definitely a decent money sink at the moment. Not to mention we still have people who buy cons which is the best money sink they've released so far. So, gp will keep slowly rising in value especially with free trade kicking off, which will lower prices on rares.
It's a catch either way, just gotta do what you want to do and hope for the best. Most people I talk with on these issues are advising everyone to not do any trades at the moment over 30m just to be on the safe side. But, it could also go the opposite like I said and just rise a week after free trade comes out, at that point it'd be too late and near impossible to buy a rare again.
Me personally, I'm staying away from the awful things, learned my lessons over the years not to mess with rares unless I want one to keep for good lol
I think I will wait for free trade to come out. Mostly because of what you said about the Purple Partyhats, the demand is definately not worth 500m+. It's weird to say that Free Trade will help lock in prices but I think it's going to help regulate the rare market.
