Value Change Explanation:
The recent community poll for the Megalodon concluded with the decision to keep its trading value steady at 1,250,000, reflecting a general consensus that the market for this retired vehicle had reached equilibrium after months of minor fluctuations and broader balancing among similar tier collectibles in Jailbreak Trading. The Megalodon’s unique position as a retired car first sold for 300,000 before its removal on July 12th, 2020, carries both nostalgic value and prestige among veteran players, but its longstanding reputation for poor performance relative to its cost continues to temper speculative hype. At the time of the vote, the car maintained a moderate demand rating of 3.89 out of 10, suggesting only partial community enthusiasm—enough to sustain its worth but insufficient to spark upward revision. Likewise, with 1,779 copies still circulating and 6,919 trades logged in the last month, the item remains somewhat active in the market yet far from scarce, demonstrating that supply is visible enough to prevent inflation while its status as unobtainable preserves base-line desirability. Traders on Trading Island and within Jailbreak Trading discussions emphasized that most recent deals for the Megalodon still closed close to its posted rate, confirming a stable trading environment. Recent data shared throughout the Jailbreak Trading Network confirmed that both the regular and duped values (1,250,000 and 1,000,000 respectively) were aligning with real transactional behavior, further validating the retention of the current figure. Participants generally agreed that while the Megalodon’s rarity as a retired item once promised stronger appreciation, its underwhelming handling and speed create a natural ceiling; no major gameplay updates or renewed visibility have reanimated its utility or cultural relevance. The poll’s outcome echoed this balance: traders acknowledged it has enough appeal to stay firmly in mid-tier retired categories, but not the scarcity or demand momentum needed for revaluation. Altogether, the combination of its moderate demand index, relatively wide distribution, steady trade frequency, and persistent perception as a collector’s novelty without exceptional performance kept the Megalodon’s role fixed as a stable-value retired asset rather than a dynamic price driver in the evolving Jailbreak Trading economy, leaving its value anchored accurately at 1,250,000.
Additional Item Information:
The Megalodon in the Jailbreak Trading Expansion is a high-speed supercar introduced as one of the earlier premium vehicles in Jailbreak, recognized for its sleek, shark-inspired design and low, aggressive body lines that closely resemble modern exotic hypercars with aerodynamic contours and deep metallic finishes. Priced at $300,000 upon release on December 23rd, 2017, it quickly became a desirable purchase for players seeking a premium aesthetic, although its performance did not initially live up to expectations for its cost. The car featured a top speed of approximately 220 MPH and 100 HP, with an acceleration time of around 7.5 seconds to its peak velocity, placing it in the mid-to-high tier of speed classes during its active availability. Its engine produced a distinct whirring sound with a pronounced turbo effect, giving it a unique auditory identity in-game, while its drivable feel emphasized smooth glide-like cornering over raw acceleration control, which contributed both to its charm and its criticism. The Megalodon was officially retired on July 12th, 2020, rendering it unobtainable through normal gameplay or purchase, and since then, it has been traded exclusively through the Jailbreak Trading Expansion via Trading Island. Within the trading economy, the Megalodon currently holds a value of approximately 1,250,000 cash, with a duplicated variant assessed at around 1,000,000, reflecting a medium demand score of 3.89 and a total distribution of just 1,779 copies and 6,919 documented trades. Its rarity is moderate within the retired vehicle class, maintaining steady circulation among dedicated collectors despite its performance inferiority. The Megalodon was likely inspired by the modern McLaren P1 and similar supercars in both profile and aerodynamic detailing, while its name and sleek design reference the prehistoric shark species that embody power and dominance, a thematic fit for a car intended to dominate the track. In practical use, it performed best on long straightaways due to its top-end capability but struggled with traction during sharp turns or off-road travel. Updates over the years included minor physics adjustments, handling retunes, and cosmetic lighting tweaks, but it never underwent a major rework or rebalance before its retirement, leaving its driving experience largely faithful to its original design. The community reception was mixed historically; at launch, many viewed it as a disappointment compared to similarly priced vehicles like the Bugatti, while others valued it for its exclusivity and aesthetics. Over time, as it became unobtainable, community sentiment shifted toward admiration and nostalgia, transforming the Megalodon into a collectible status symbol representing early Jailbreak ownership and veteran experience. In the present trading meta, it remains a moderately valued legacy car, appreciated more for its history than its utility. Notably, some dedicated players have retained their original copies from 2017 as trophies of early Jailbreak days, and its unique combination of rarity, design, and cultural legacy continues to make it a cornerstone conversation piece among collectors on Trading Island.
