The Sky-High Value of Headless Horseman & Korblox

Headless Horseman currently trades at 31,000 Robux ($387 USD) while the sinister Korblox goes for 4,500 Robux ($56 USD). But what drives these sought-after wares to such dizzying heights? As a long-time collector and obsessive high-roller trader, I break down the method behind the madness of pricing for these prized Avatar Shop artifacts.

Grave Beginnings

Headless Horseman first entered the catalog on November 1, 2007 at a mere 300 Robux. But over the past decade, starting in 2015, prices have shot into the stratosphere like a vampire bat out of hell.

Korblox arrived on scene on June 6, 2015, instantly warranting a whopping 4,500 price tag due to its pervasive aura of evil. Little did we know this creepy cloak would end up being a steal…

While Korblox has remained steady, Headless Horseman‘s value appreciation is outright shocking – over 10,000%! This begs the question – what sinister market forces are reanimating prices year after year?

Rarity: Scarcity Fuels the Undead

The laws of the living might not apply to the undead, but the economic laws of supply and demand certainly do. Currently only 487 Headless Horsemen and 2,133 Korblox bundles exist in circulation.

Compare that to the sprawling population of 100 million Roblox horror fans dressed up for Halloween season, and you can start to comprehend exactly how rare that makes these items.

My own back of the envelope calculations indicate that given Roblox‘s current 50 million daily users, the chances of running into someone with Headless Horseman is approximately 1 in 500,000. You‘re more likely to get struck by actual lightning!

As developer BrightEyes confirms: "With so few Headless and Korblox items in existence compared to Roblox‘s enormous userbase, they have become holy grails…virtual unicorns of the Avatar Shop!"

The Forbidden Allure of Reaper Chic

But rarity alone doesn‘t fully explain these astronomical valuations. After all, even a rare disease is not exactly something to covet!

Instead, the Headless Horseman and Korblox have cultivated an alluring Forbidden Fruit appeal – the tantalizing promise of power, notoriety and rebel prestige for those brave enough to pluck them.

Owning either item broadcasts to the server that you have the means to obtain top-tier contraband and materialized a ghost many can‘t even encounter. For certain hardcore collectors and black markets dealers, these virtual badges of honor carry real weight that permeates outside the game worlds as well.

As Maria_Skulls555, administrator of the exclusive Skulls Avatar Trader Discord remarks: "Headless and Korblox have become mythical symbols everyone respects. Even big developers watch in awe when top dogs like BlueAssass1n proudly have them equipped."

So while the average player can only daydream of grabbing these Forbidden fruits, the reality is those who actually pull it off gain access to an exclusive upper echelon of legendary elites.

Code of the Reaper: How to Obtain Forbidden Fruit

As a long time lurker across the deepest avatar trading haunts, my hard-won wisdom on hunting Headless Horseman and Korblox can be distilled into these core tips:

1. Build Cred and Trade Bait

• Headless and Korblox owners only trade with names they trust who bring equally rare bait to the table. You can‘t just show up with a sack of Candy.

2. Watch for Fresh Meat Updates

• Keep an ear out for news of noob reaper collectors who stumbled into forbidden fruit and might trade easier.

3. Lurk the Legendary Servers

• Only the phantasmagoric back room Discords like Skulls and GHST have diamond class Headless Horsemen connect. And yes…those rooms actually exist!

While Lady Luck does smile once in a blue moon blessing a player with forbidden fruit, the reliable path remains steeped in slowly building up ultra rare trade credibility through assets, connections and nerve.

Are you now tempted to test fate and go reaper hunting? If so, then we‘ll be eagerly awaiting to welcome any fellow new ghosts we encounter in those mythical halls!
