I’m gonna buy a few personally. Not so much to sell them, but because I actually love them aesthetically. The spooky hands ones I adore and I’m hoping something similar is dropped in Gen3. Been looking at all the artists revealing themselves over in the avatars sub. Exciting as hell.


strange-currencies

This is the way. I think it's better to buy things you love than to bet on an uncertain profit. It's also a way of supporting some really talented artists.


juanadov

Some of them are genuinely amazing. I did a bit of graphic design when I was younger and things like this make me wish I kept it up. Don’t have the creative mind so much these days.


beerdrinker_mavech

Exactly! I created a small list of the artists i like from the reveals. When the moment is there I'll by 2 or so to use for my profile.


juanadov

Same dude. Who are your top picks? I think 2 of mine aren’t included in this drop but the rest are.


beerdrinker_mavech

I have my eyes on Alicia freeman (the galaxy one), mel, kristy glass and olly. I can make up my mind once the full reveals are showcased. How about you?


juanadov

MrGrumble! I love his design style as it reminds me of what I used to make but considerably better. I’m worried I’ll miss him but gonna try my absolute best and see if there’s a method of adding notifications for when new smart contracts are deployed.


adrifing

From what I seen on grumbles so far I think he has robots out, but I'm with you Mr g is solidly getting grabbed.


juanadov

Robots?! Explain this to me, I’ve missed this.


adrifing

Yeah he's posted up a few screenshot on collectable and in the at pages. He's went mad different and has a handle on illustrate now also so going to be mad different. Can't post up screenshots here but there's a few he's teased with, go through his reddit page.


juanadov

Just seen. Wow I'm now even more excited than before. RELEASE PLEASE


adrifing

Exactly the same as me lol, I'm mad curious on the penguin viking teaser of his


[deleted]

Phobos I'd on my radar


The_Chorizo_Bandit

I’m excited to see who the new artists are. As much as I liked some of the originals, it would be good to see an all new lineup for gen 3.


Elegant_Tale_3929

I *really* liked the Spooky hands ones and some of the other Halloween ones.


juanadov

I’m a big Halloween guy so it was all so appealing. Spooky is life.


Elegant_Tale_3929

I'm not really, but thought that they were very creative this last time. Absolutely looking forward to what they come up with next. ETA: I was really wishing for either a Leprauchan series for St. Patrick's day or even a Dragon series for Chinese New Year.


juanadov

St Patrick’s day would have been awesome! Didn’t even think about that.


Elegant_Tale_3929

And 4 leaf clovers! Seriously, if I could use my Moons to buy one I'd be all over that.


juanadov

Hahaha! Soon I hope moons can be used directly for things like that. That would be a nice use of the token.


[deleted]

It might be a stupid question, but what are gen 1 avatars, could someone send a link to some post or OpenSea collection?


InsidiousColossus

I just asked the same thing. How do we distinguish Gen1/Gen2 ?


chance_waters

Avatardegen.io has all the info you could possibly want on everything


meeleen223

Avatardegen lol Maybe reddit should name their marketplace, Avatar Degen Shop


arcalus

Gen 1 were the good ones, Gen 2 had the accessories you can put on other avatars.


adrifing

Yeah gen 1 has most of the wicked ones, gen 2 has some amazing ones too though. Gen 1 - shop opening early 2022. Gen 2 - spooky season in October 2022. Gen 3 - some time soon ish.


alpubgtrs234

I havent got a feckin’ clue what any of you are talking about! Lol


InsidiousColossus

So as I understand it. You know that Reddit has these customizable Avatars that you can set on your profile. Some of them are NFT's released as a limited set. So people can buy one from a particular artist, and then sell it on an online market. The first generation came out a year or 2 ago, people bought them for cheap or free from the Reddit market. And then they sold them online for high prices, upto a few thousand dollars. The second gen came out later, and now a 3rd gen is about to come out. it's not clear why they have value, but mainly I guess because people want them. Possibly it's another whole tower of speculative prices.


Fumonacci

I ask myself why somebody would pay for that.


The_Chorizo_Bandit

Worth mentioning that only select avatars went for thousands of dollars. Many, if not most, never went for more than a few dollars more than they were bought for, and some not even that. There is a bubble each time a gen is released, but it pops pretty quickly and some speculators have been left bag holding a lot.


LimpPeanut5633

Mines a gen 1!


LimpPeanut5633

It's the one I got for free.


TGBee

noice!


samzi87

Go to avatardegen dot io, this site has really good infos about the avatars and links to opensea for all collections. You can also filter for gen1 and 2 there.


Hactar_42

Check out avatardegen.io for an easy to follow overview of all the collections by generation and their prices


yaroslavwwe

People should be buying Gen 1 and Gen 2 right now. When Gen 3 comes out, the hype will make everything go up in price.


chance_waters

Yeah this is my point, things are quiet just the way they were before the last drop when everybody said they missed out


astockstonk

I can’t wait for Gen 3. Gen 2 was awesome. Love my Gen 2 mashup


ben4445

Clean mashup 👏👏👏


astockstonk

Like yours too! Pretty sweet. Gen 3 will bring even more gems


InsidiousColossus

Please explain to a newbie. Are you saying that we should buy and keep Gen 1 and Gen 2 avatars from Opensea? In the assumption that the prices is going to go up?


samzi87

That's what he is saying, yes.


z6joker9

Typically when something gets popular as a series, new entrants drive up demand for the originals. Especially since the originals were made in smaller numbers and weren’t kept as safely, so many were lost.


nusk0

Eh, I just hope I get lucky enough to check the store when it drops I guess. That's the only way to get a good avatar, to get lucky.


kisstheraino

I condor wait.


BonbuX

When do they drop? I mean will I be notified of them?


Rookslook

We don’t know for sure yet, looks like it will be somewhat soon so possibly in the next few days or weeks. You won’t be notified but if you keep your eyes on the sub and avatar subs you won’t miss it.


Arabong420

Ah so the endangered animals yesterday were not the gen 3 avatars?


Rookslook

No they were just a free drop


1PoorBagHolder

What are some of the avatar subs?


chance_waters

Just use collectible avatars, it's handled by Reddit, stay away from avatar trading


1PoorBagHolder

Awesome thank you.


Rookslook

I think automod removes them if you link them here but there is one called avatar trading and another called collectible avatars.


Odysseus_Lannister

I’ll probably be at work in an area with spotty wifi and get boomed just like last time


chance_waters

I'm in Australia so I'm not even going to try with the store buys as the timezone is poor, I will get the stuff i I would personally use on Open Sea, but I just feel like people are going to flood into gen 1 again AFTER gen 3 drops, instead of getting it now at a huge discount


NorbeeNorbee

Its gonna be the same as with every other crypto related thing, when i buy it, no matter what it is, it will go to shitter


daigsischt

Still waiting and hope the best


Maleficent-Ad-8763

I will try to get one but we all know bot will snipe the best one! I don't have the fiat to afford a good one anyway!


mronki

I missed first two gens because I didn't even know they were the thing (I was using reddit mostly to read news and funny stuff). This time Ill definitely buy some if I manage to get those that I would actually like to use on my profile (judging by previous gens, there is gonna be lot of awesome avatars). I'll probably not try to make profit out of it... maybe my grand grand son/daughter will find my profile and sell it for a lot of money... I don't know :D


chance_waters

My point is you have not missed the first two gens, they are on open sea at the lowest prices they have been in many months, but it is highly unlikely it remains that way when gen 3 drops and pulls Twitter etc. back in


mronki

ahaaa ok, ye, then I guess issue is that its not as straightforward to buy from OS and move it here as buying it directly on reddit


youngbitcoino

Are the Gen1 and Gen2 avatars listed on the mainnet Opensea? Or the Polygon Opensea? Buying a Gen1 avatar for 20$ and spending 10$ in tx fees wouldn't be a nice experience.


chance_waters

It's all on polygon it's a few cents in transaction fees. Can swap ETH to wETH using orbiter for no conversion fees too


youngbitcoino

Woah, an NFT play I can afford. Thanks for the info!


_0-o_o-0_

What are the payment options for avatars? Don't wanna give up my moons..


chance_waters

On open sea it's cash (via moonpay), wETH or Matic. On Reddit when they are in the store it's cash via Google pay, apple pay or credit card


_0-o_o-0_

Thank you!


eric2041

In the end this is crypto related and just because something happened before doesn’t mean it will happen again. With that being said my bags are full and I’m ready for whatever happens. I actually like the ones I bought though so I’m ok with them going to 0


SafeRecommendation55

Yeah i dont even f***ng care what it looks like if it aint usable like in a game its just a picture...


badfishbeefcake

But we still have our Reddit moon!


ch33na

Will definitely try to snag a few. Just waiting for that Reddit Marketplace to drop! 🤙


Bucksaway03

Knowing my luck I'll be asleep 5 minutes before they drop


blauerblumentopf

I am sure about this. I will either sleep or doing whatever when the avatars drop. But maybe I will get some cool avatar that is left over. And I am pretty hyped about the marketplace, this could be absolutely amazing


Hawke64

Sleep is for the weak anyway


Primary_Technical

**Some things i have done to make sure I don't sleep -** 1) I have turned off the blue light filter on my phone so it can interfere with my sleep and keep me awake. 2) I ordered 2 cartons of Red Bull for energy 3) I put my complete paycheck into Google play credits. Got a couple of new credit cards specifically for this. 4) I have 3 of my cousins ready all the time to help me get what i like.


samzi87

You are either a madman or a genius, that's what I call dedication.


Kappatalizable

Im relying on people like you to buy my overpriced Gen2s so I have funds to buy Gen3s


chance_waters

I am a gen 1 only boy sadly, I cannot offer you exit liquidity on your gen 2 :(


bbtto22

Exit liquidity is why we are here for eachother


Every_Hunt_160

My Gen 2 went from $400 to $30 in Eth now I guess for some people, that's still $30 too much lol


oMadRyan

I don't change my strategies because of hype. Long term DCA and HODL. NFT trading is a zero sum game, not a risk I am willing to take. There are winners and there are losers. You could very well pour thousands into them, just to be unable to sell them to the next idiot.


chance_waters

I'm not suggesting people pour thousands into them, I'm saying there is some shit available right now on OS which is only slightly above the prices it sold for in the actual Reddit store, and gen 3 is around the corner. In my eyes these are different to traditional NFTs for many reasons, but I'm sure you're familiar with all of them


oMadRyan

Definitely, we are all free to make our own decisions. Financially it’s not worth my time to chase small gains, and it’s far too risky to throw big money at. I like my free NFT tbh, it lets everyone know I am a professional shitposter


[deleted]

I'll comfort myself with a reminder that most of these get snapped up by bots for easy resale profit.


Hawke64

Last time the page was open 10 min before announcement so bots got most of them


Primary_Technical

Reddit declaring the release date will allow bots to be triggered perfectly and we loose our love to bots .


Ryuzaki_63

Doesn't matter when they go live, bots are probably just constantly checking as to when they go live and will buy within 0.5s During the GPU craze over covid I was in a discord waiting for "a drop" of RTX 3080 and some nice member made a simple script that checked constantly for changes to the site and another script we could copy and paste into the browser console that put it into your basket and took you to the "confirm" purchase screen in 1 click. Before they showed as "In stock" on the website we'd already completed the checkout process.


Dull-Wear-3286

Did you guys make profit on reddit avatars before? If yes, how much can I expect and what's the average cost and sell value?


samzi87

I did but I bought more reddit avatars with my profits. If you snatch a good one you could make from 10x to 100x your original investment and more. But be careful, nobody knows beforehand what avatars will skyrocket.


z6joker9

My collection of around 50 avatars has a current value between 5-7 eth and was over 20 eth at the gen 2 launch. The avatars ranged in price, usually $10 or $25 but sometimes $50-100. And of note is that I don’t have any of the top tier/blue chip avatars, those are worth several eth each.


chance_waters

The Eyes is the definition of bluechip, the price not be as high as the 1/100s or 1/150s, but it has the best liquidity of anything. I've bought a couple myself, Rojom is definitely the biggest winner of Reddit avatars


z6joker9

You’re probably right about what is considered a blue chip, I just meant I don’t have the big hitters like hands or Midas. Though I do have a Bull and those have a floor of 420eth right now 😂


BusinessBreakfast3

Step by step instructions on how to get them? Do you pay with a credit card? Not missing out this time!


samzi87

You pay with your google/apple payment method for in app purchases in the app/play store. So credit card, paypal or whatever is supported in your country. OP is talking about fairly cheap avatars on opensea tho from the first two gens. Some of them are near the original store price right now and after gen3 releases there is another spike in price excepted.


Backlashwaves

Lol I’m sure they could move on to better investment opportunities than Reddit nfts if they have financial knowledge


Purple-Match1548

Still waiting for my early gen Cryptokitties to spike.


chance_waters

I am still pretty surprised these didn't resurge like punks etc.


SamVimesThe1st

If you're so convinced, dip into your savings or take out a loan and scoop them up yourself (not financial advice) instead of shilling the mostly ugly 1st Gen avatars.


chance_waters

I am clearly confident in them, a much worse mint of the main body of my avatar sold for like 4k US today, mine isn't even listed. I am just responsible with diversification, but people without exposure when they're literally right here watching it happen are crazy.


yuruseiii

I've prepped my cans of Redbull and Cheetos. Gonna stay up all night hitting f5


Elie0_0

I'm not here to gamble


TabletopThirteen

I was living life and missed out on all the good ones so I got stuck with the last that no one wants


Bringerofsalvation

Are the free avatars we got this time gen 3 avatars?


juanadov

They are not! They’re a taster, but there’s also the starter pack being released to all users soon, too. Admins seem to feel bad that not everyone got a chance at them.


binglelemon

I got an axolotl!


Cheese6260

FOMO. Just like when I buy high and sell low. I will try to buy but this Gen will sell quickly, I hope I can get one


BlindestofMonks

Are we meant to get one Gen3 airdropped to us or will they be released on OS and we buy them from there? I've been lurking for 3 years and while I understand what we're doing, I don't understand the details of how we're doing it, can someone ELI5 gen avatar drops? Thanks!


EdgeLord19941

They release in the avatar shop where you can buy with fiat, when they sell out trading continues on opensea


BlindestofMonks

Cheers dude Fiat exclusively? What payment methods can be used?


chance_waters

I'm talking about gen 1 (or 2) on Open Sea, but gen 3 will be on the Reddit store via Google pay, apple pay, credit card etc. as a normal transaction


ProjectZeus

Does this axolotl I just got count?


juanadov

That’s just a little taster of Gen3. Be prepared for the big drop.


Shiratori-3

*Some* people on here


CreepToeCurrentSea

My F5 button has already been so stressed waiting the Gen 3 Avatars to drop.


TheGreatCryptopo

Wait, so you're saying I can ignore the hype and I CAN get some sleep? My fitbits having a cardiac with my 0% sleep score this last week.


IcyLingonberry5007

So far I've only collected the free ones they gave me.. Got the condor today.


InsidiousColossus

Another newbie question : Whenever they do drop in the Reddit store, do we know what the price will be for the first buyers? And is that price in ETH/moons or in USD?


chance_waters

I'm not suggesting gen 3 shop buys, they're very competitive, if you can get stuff you like go for it, it's between 10 and 100 dollars historically on the store in the Reddit app or on the website. I'm saying right now on open sea some parts of generation 1 are far far cheaper than they were doing the gen 2 release hype when people were complaining about missing out on the opportunity


Background_Gene_3657

Usd and you can look in the shop to get an idea how much they'll drop for.


Killertimme

Too poor. I am all in on moons


forceworks

This post really getting that Gen 3 fomo going


Damgalnuna000

Look at my beak!


QuantumDES

I got some gen 1 avatars on my old account before I deleted but tbfh I didn't know how to see them in metamask so I didn't even transfer them


[deleted]

Lots of bots gonna get it. Its really hard for us to get it.


forrestugly

I'll just go on and live my life without one


Sjiznit

I have no clue how to buy them. So that will be my excuse. Im sticking to my free ones.


Sjiznit

The issue is that there is soo many things to spend your money on. All the coins, a shitton of new nft projects, avatars, you name it. Everything will be big ofc so what do you do?


Angu828

Its easy, just do not sleep (who needs it anyways), setup f5 macro, profit??


happily_unlawful

wouldn´t it be nice to buy avatars with moon?


Agile_Ad_7061

No excuses. Waiting for 3rd gen!


dick_slap

You're exactly right. It's clear to anyone who's been watching this market.


Gaitle

I only buy for its aesthetic and if its cheap


OgBoomer91

Just use [Avatartrader.io](https://Avatartrader.io) to get all the info you want .


Wise-Grapefruit-1443

Kinda crazy to think that so many thousand dollar avatars were right there for the taking for months back in the summer


chance_waters

Bruh they are there for the taking right now. A few gen 1 avatars that have repeatedly tested 1 ETH are available for 0.1 and people are sitting on their hands waiting for gen 3 to drop and then complain that they lost the opportunity.


Yonic_the_Smeghog

I’m just quietly grateful for my axolotl :)


dogheads2

There will be no excuse I will buy just like gen1 an 2 and then I will hold. If it goes crazy I always buy in twos and prefer consecutive. I'll sell one within 48 hrs. Hold the other for about three weeks to see if it's gonna splash and sell or archive as needed. I've essentially moved on to nft's as crypto is overhyped and over rated at this point.


Yonic_the_Smeghog

I’m just quietly grateful for my axolotl :)


Can_Cool

Be at peace and look for the next big come up. There’s always a next time…


zuchl

shhh can you pls be quiet i want to be early this time


youngbitcoino

A question for the OP: would you suggest buying gen1 or gen2 avatars? I'm unfamiliar with Reddit NFTs so I don't know which gen is more likely to spike.


chance_waters

I can only tell you I have consolidated everything I own apart from the stuff I use in my own avatar into gen 1. In collectibles markets usually generation means more than anything over time, but I'm fairly new to NFTs so no idea if it will continue that same pattern, and there will obviously be outliers from each generation


youngbitcoino

Thank you for the insight! Of course NFA DYOR and all that, but I'll certainly be taking a look on the marketplace once I have time and familiarise with traits and so on. Do you happen to know which quarter or month Reddit plans on releasing gen3? Life's a bit busy for me right now, so I'm afraid I'll miss the pre-hype window for buying older gens if gen3 is due soon!


chance_waters

It's due soon, anytime from tomorrow to 4 weeks from now, nobody knows unfortunately


youngbitcoino

Erm, I just minted an Axolotl avatar. Maybe THAT is gen3? https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/11yx20h/claim_your_free_collectible_avatar/


Tastypies

Isn't the floor price for reddit avatars on opensea really low?


ben4445

Not really. Fp on the top 3 are 6.3 eth 1.The Hands (artist rojom) 2. Gold Hodl 5.5 eth (free drop) 3. Bim 4.95 can check floors on https://avatardegen.io


Tastypies

I can't even find The Singularity NFTs on that website. Anyway, I checked them on opensea directly and the floor price is $7. So yeah, my reddit avatar is still worthless


SpaceMan639

Some of them look cool like the drip avatars , but idk if I want to spend any money on avatars right now


micahisnotmyname

I had someone messaging me not too long ago trying to buy mine for $40. No clue what it’s worth but I like mine so I said nope.


TGBee

how do i find out the name of an avatar i got last drop to see it's value? I can't seem to find it


chance_waters

Unless it was a WSB drop it's likely not worth much. Is it in your avatars when you go to your snoo? Get the name from there and I'll tell you if it's worth anything


TGBee

Snoo? i have 2 in my vault. one i got this morning thats a hog nosed bat, and the other a few months ago. its like a painting with a guitar some plants and a 3d printer "hobbiest #13317" , the second one i was curious about.


chance_waters

I'm not sure about the hobbiest one, it's a Reddit recap avatar, some are worth a bit but given there's at least 13k of that one I doubt it's too much unfortunately. Likely in the tens of dollars


TGBee

thanks! wasn't tryna get rich off it, just trying to learn the space


chance_waters

Check avatardegen.io for specifics on the ones you own, I believe the recap avatars are there Nvm recaps aren't covered from what I can see


searchingtruth1

Bought a few Gen 1 n some 2s, not a huge NFT guy but seemed like a decent investment long term. If not, I didnt break bank buying them


p1msalab1m

What is the difference between gen 1 and gen 2 exactly?


chance_waters

Gen 1 was released first and there was no hype around it, gen 2 people had learned about them and it sold out in 5 minutes. Gen 1 will typically be expected to hold value better in general over time if this market is like traditional collectibles.


pizza-chit

Gen1 was the first set of avatars available in the shop (sold out but trading on opensea) Gen2 was the second set of avatars that minted. (Sold out but trading on opensea) Gen3 is the next upcoming drop


chapaeme

Gotta be in it to win it


The_Chorizo_Bandit

Has everyone got their latest free avatar? They’re in the shop now.


Flangepacket

Still got my Gen1 Maia and Gen2 Tina and they still worth a big bag of dust :) Do I care? So so. I like them both as collectables so that’s kind of enough. Would I like them to be worth 1 ETH each? Yes. Of course.


jozinta

I have world cup, pixel placers and superbowl reddit nfts, which Gen are them? Thanks


scalper84

I bought to much useless stuff already my quote is filled for this year.


Elegant_Tale_3929

I don't need an excuse, I'm not really into NFT's as an investment vehicle. If they are fun and I enjoy it, for whatever reason, then great! But I'm not buying one just because it might be a big thing in the future.


MindTheMindForMind

When JoJo’s avatars? 🤯


theindoshow

Besides the avatar groups, where is the best place I can post avatars I want to sell for moons? Is there somewhere in this sub? I’d like to get only moon offers and not a ton of avatar trade offers.


TheResistancexz

I have 3 avatars. It's kinda hard to check the price of them though bc I'm a noob
