Top news coming right your way, live from Habbo Hotel!

Over the past few weeks, the marketplace has been boosted A LOT

Habbos have been suspecting someone being a noob and boosting prices to spoil the marketplace experience for other players, but today we found out that is not the case.

Today, people have been selling items on the marketplace for up to 25,000 coins! Things as simple as Grass Patches & Ducket Items all the way up to Thrones.
