Value Change Explanation:
The community poll for the Megalodon concluded with its trading value holding steady at 1,250,000, a decision that reflected the collective assessment of its balance between nostalgia-driven appeal, limited circulation, and moderate but stable demand within Jailbreak Trading. Despite its history as a retired vehicle that once cost 300,000 and has been unobtainable since July 2020, the Megalodon no longer commands the same prestige as rarer or higher-performing legacy cars, largely because its in-game performance continues to be viewed as lackluster relative to its price tier. The 3.87 out of 10 demand rating underscores how most traders see it as a mid-tier collectible rather than a high-end asset, and this sentiment was reinforced by the trading data indicating 1,749 copies active in circulation and 6,777 trades over the past month, showing steady but unexceptional turnover. Participants in recent Jailbreak Trading Network discussions emphasized that while the Megalodon’s retirement gives it intrinsic rarity, its abundance compared to more limited vehicles diminishes its exclusivity, preventing a major upward adjustment. Moreover, players referenced the stable dupe value of 1,000,000 as evidence that the market has already priced in the effects of duplication and resales, reinforcing equilibrium rather than volatility. The current trading environment, particularly on Trading Island, favors vehicles with either exceptional specs or stronger visual prestige, and since the Megalodon excels in neither category, it retains value purely through collectibility and its established market stability. This alignment of moderate demand, adequate supply, and consistent trading activity produced broad community consensus that no adjustment was necessary. The prevailing conclusion shared across the Jailbreak Trading Network was that the Megalodon has matured into a dependable mid-value legacy car—well-recognized, frequently exchanged, yet not actively sought after beyond nostalgic collectors—which made maintaining its valuation at 1,250,000 both justified and reflective of genuine market sentiment.
Additional Item Information:
The Megalodon in the Jailbreak Trading Expansion is a retired supercar that occupies a notable place in the game’s history as one of the earliest high-end vehicles to feature a distinctively aggressive design inspired by the prehistoric shark it is named after. Visually, the Megalodon resembles a heavily modified sports coupe with a low, wide profile, large rear aerodynamic fins evocative of a shark’s dorsal fin, and sleek edges that give it a sensory feel of menace and speed even when stationary. It was originally priced at $300,000 in cash and released on December 23, 2017, becoming purchasable from locations such as the city garage before being officially retired on July 12, 2020. Since its retirement, the Megalodon has become an unobtainable collectible in regular gameplay but remains tradable through the Jailbreak Trading Island, currently valued around 1,250,000 cash according to the Jailbreak Trading Network, with a duped variant maintaining an approximate worth of 1,000,000. Its distribution is limited to about 1,749 copies, with 6,777 successful trades recorded, giving it a medium rarity and a demand rating of 3.87, meaning it remains moderately sought after among collectors who value legacy content rather than peak performance. On the road, the Megalodon can reach a top speed of roughly 220 MPH under ideal conditions, with 100 vehicle health and an acceleration benchmark of around 7.5 seconds from zero to peak output, which was considered disappointing at release compared to its price, causing it to gain a reputation as a visually impressive but inefficient supercar. Later vehicles such as the Roadster and Concept outclassed it easily, leaving it as more of a prestige or nostalgia piece than a competitive choice. Its inspiration draws loosely from futuristic hypercars such as the Lykan Hypersport and design cues emphasizing shark-like ferocity in its curves and proportions, symbolizing the “predator of the streets” theme developers pursued during its development cycle. Over its lifespan, the Megalodon underwent mild handling adjustments but never saw any major tuning reworks, keeping its subpar acceleration and cornering intact even after subsequent speed balancing updates. Within the community, the Megalodon’s legacy has evolved from an underperforming purchase to a prized relic of early Jailbreak history, representing a period of bold experimentation in vehicle aesthetics and pricing strategy. As trading became central to the Jailbreak ecosystem, its once-criticized qualities were reinterpreted as markers of exclusivity, giving it newfound cultural value as a recognizable status symbol for veteran players. Today, it serves more as a collector’s piece than an instrument of competition, often used by traders and enthusiasts who wish to showcase their connection to the game’s formative years. Trivia surrounding the Megalodon includes that its name was among the first to explicitly link to a real-world creature, it frequently appears in nostalgic player montages for its unique sound and shark-inspired body lines, and some owners have adopted the vehicle as part of themed builds highlighting rare or extinct Jailbreak vehicles, ensuring that despite its mechanical shortcomings, the Megalodon remains an enduring emblem of early-game ambition and collector prestige within the Jailbreak Trading community.
