Dormlympics was a hunt released in August of 2016. Based on the Olympics, press here for the announcement thread, this hunt included a unique aspect which set a unique and orgasmic challenge to collectors like myself to track down and find 246 different items! Pins, as announced here, were dropping from every party; pro and common, throughout the hunt!, from spinner, from boxes hunt boxes, and from gifts (both cash and ec). Essentially, every way the developers could think for us to earn the pins, they stuffed pins into those holes, and we plundered them! During the event, some forums and a google sheet were made to help keep track of where everything was dropping. It was clear that some would be rare, and clubs chased down the rarest pins that people claimed not to see much. Last year, I went on a crusade to count pins from many showcases and gain a statistically significant sample size to show what they actual rarities ended up becoming. I knew that some were incredibly rare and some incredibly common and that I could never put a single price on them all. But understanding the extent of the differences might help with trading. The sample size of this data was 173,958 pins across 175 showcases. There is a strong bias towards rare pins in my search as I looked at showcases of people who had very large collections of pins so as to get solid data on the rarest pins. I really wanted to be able to rank them against each other. Anyway, here is a graph of all the pins ranked from rarest to most common. In this thread, I will simply be measuring the number of each pin that I counted. So There is just a solid flat line and then boom! A handful of pins jump out as the most common and dwarf the other pins. Let's remove those giants and see if we can see something interesting, eh? Yes, we can, and now that we have a more legible and shapely graph; notice the arrows. These are pointing at markers where I intend to mainly differentiate prices. There is a continuum of value and most divisions have to be arbitrary so I tried to look for doublings of abundance and crooks in the line, and then look to the pins close to the boundaries and recall my experiences of trading them, and their buy and sell prices in order to anchor them to the market! _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- From rarest to cheapest! **Pins with asterisks are special and will be discussed and priced properly at the end of the thread.** Spoiler: Pin counts below 50 Pin counts below 50! The creme de la creme of items people completely underappreciate! These pins have been swindled from unaware sellers, with enviable profit margins! Denmark 13 Guatemala 14 Virgin Islands 14 Liechtenstein 15 Austria 16 Belgium 16 Czech Republic 17 Equatorial Guinea 18 Sweden 20 Ukraine 20 Estonia 23 Poland 23 South Africa 29 Sudan 41 **Judo 49 Papua New Guinea 49 Somalia 49 There is a mini crook in the graph after pins below 20. Now these are far rarer than t100 items and based on how far I have looked and just how large pimd is as a game, I would doubt that there are any more than 30 of any of these pins in game, and most of them have been painstakingly collected. I can foresee a future where they are sold for 40🍱 each. Stats barely matter when an item is that rare. Pin counts 20-50 I would conservatively say there are less than 100 of each of these pins in the game which makes then basically t100 items or better. They are currently valued poorly at up to 1o each. But I think this should be a minimum sell value. 2o would be reasonable within the current market. Spoiler: Pin counts 50-200 Pin counts from 50 to 200 This is not a very interesting part of the graph but over the course of it, it doubles twice, and I want to suggest arbitrary values for each doubling. And you can fill in the gaps. So up to the 100 count, the value goes from 2o to 10c in the current market. Spoiler: These pins are: Egypt 53 Ireland 53 Netherlands 54 American Samoa 54 Kenya 57 Jordan 58 Latvia 58 Mauritius 58 **Table Tennis 59 **Indonesia 59 Congo 60 **Mozambique 60 Togo 60 Belize 61 Turkmenistan 61 Chad 62 Cambodia 63 Pakistan 64 **Badminton 65 **Marathon Swimming 66 Kosovo 66 Georgia 68 Honduras 68 Refugee Olympics Athletes 69 Turkey 70 **Singapore 71 Grenada 72 Argentina 74 Maldives 74 Chile 78 Colombia 78 Sao Tome & Principe 78 El Salvador 80 Bolivia 82 Malawi 82 Azerbaijan 85 Finland 87 France 87 Timor-Leste 87 Myanmar 88 Former Yoguslav Republic of Macedonia 89 Guinea 89 Liberia 89 Seychelles 89 Dominica 91 Marshall Islands 92 Cape Verde 93 **Tennis 94 **Trampoline Gymnastics 94 **Rhythmic Gymnastics 96 Benin 96 Kiribati 96 Switzerland 96 Afghanistan 97 Madagascar 97 New Zealand 99 Then, from the #100 pin to #200, they more than half in value again to be 3c each.

Pins over 1000 In this bracket, pin values drop from 5:1c to 20:1c Pay attention to the numbers of thousands. Spoiler: These pins are: **Australia 1053 Mauritania 1685 **Shooting 1713 **Basketball 1774 **United States of America 1907 Germany 3135 United Arab Emirates 4160 **Sailing 4244 **Swimming 4332 Burundi 5476 Lebanon 5667 Oman 8126 Angola 8219 ***Wrestling 8233 **Cycling Track 8392 Panama 9025 **Handball 11216 Gambia ******25061***** Gambia was a gift pin on the first day that pins could be gifted, and with a limit of 1000, many players sought to max them! Today, still a remarkable achievement, in the later days, people stopped caring as much about maxing. The toll it took on their thumbs was not worth the gains, and the other gift pins became a bit rarer. Thus when pricing them, Gambia (25,061) can be 20:1c. Handball (11,216) through to Oman (8,126) can be priced at 10:1c. Specials!!! Spoiler: Specials™ The invisible Flag, The Mozambiquan flag is invisible and has been invisible since the event. Legendary for being the only tradable invisible item on pimd, this one has historically been easy to convince people to pay a bit extra for. While it is within the t100 range, and the others around there can fetch a bento each at default, this can be brought up to 2 bentos. The misshapen flag The Nepalese flag has a unique shape and it looks like devs had a blank flag template that was a white rectangle. As a result of hamfisting the Nepalese flag into that white rectangle, the flag went from this to this ! Cute! The Nepalese flag is sometimes called the most mathematical flag, here is a video that explains why! The pin is relatively common still and I don’t think many people ever questioned it so it fetches a standard price for its rarity. 2-3c each. But I wanted to share with you, anyway! India pin and high population. This is a BIG FLAG and it is Indian and PIMD has many Indian players, many quite nationalistic and generous. I have had a lot of fortune trading these. They can go for 1-3 bentos per piece. 1 is safe, 2 is money boom boom, 3 is probably where money boom boom will go in time. Just considering the very high demand, and BIGness, this pin is a cool one! (image ahead) BIG FLAGS!! Big flags are just that, BIG! Even more exciting visually than the sports pins, and even less of them to collect, a collection of big flags exudes BIG dick energy. There is not really a rule with these. All the other factors are ENLARGED in big flags. Is it on the rare end? EVERYONE WANTS IT, MULTIPLY THAT VALUE BY 5 OR 10. There aren’t many so here are the values and an image! The rarest BIG FLAG is Indonesia! Sports flags! Pin collection; lite. No boring flags, fun activities, smaller collection, not so many super rares but some moderately rare pins. People who complained about the boring bunny being repeated all over their showcase tend to still tolerate the sports ones for their cool poses and whatnot, also many more people relate to a sport than their country so there’s that. These fetch a bit of a premium. Maybe 1.5x to 2x the cost of surrounding flags. Play things by ear with these. There are too many for me to list their adjusted values! The rarest sports flag is Judo! Popular pin collection goals: All big pins All sports pins All pins! All of my country's piNNNNNnnn! I need an Armenian pin to show solidarity with Armenians I need a soccer pin because I play and love soccer I need a Japanese pin because I have most otaku items and I want to expand my collection with a bit of a tangent. I need French flags because I'm totally an edgy existentialist! I need an American pin because It's BIG! I want a refugee olympians pin to show solidarity with our struggling refugees.❤️
The google sheet referred to in the introduction was by @Geass and can be found here. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...9i348VrY9Px0Rja-3DypzDIne8k/edit?usp=drivesdk It is one of the most comprehensive lists detailing the sources of the pins but there are SOME blanks. If they ever matter, which they probably won't, hmu and I can find out where they came from and answer your question!
I can't believe I'm gonna say this but I'm actually impressed that this came from you kefo It's interesting and informative and somewhat relevant without crazy nonsensical jokes It's still not pretty but I can get over that This is probably my favourite guide that you've made, nice work
Just saw this now. Thanks for the credits @Kefo. I can't imagine I had the time to actually do all this and research where they came from. OML. The Google sheet is kinda messed up. I'll try to smoothen it out. I still got access.
