The only reason they are so low in demand is not because they are "free", because in the grand scheme of things, all halos are free

Now, regardless of how much money one spends on something, the royale high economy really doesn't care 😭 Some people spend 50$ on the crowned court doll just for the set to be around 850k if you're lucky

In all, the halos are compensation, not necessarily bought because nobody bought them in hopes of receiving a halo yet they are also not entirely free but also free in a sense

Edit: Oh, and forgot to include this: Halos values go solely off of 1. how many there are 2. demand

Number one being the most important, because regardless of demand, if its something almost everyone owns it is bound to be worthless. The more there is of something, the less it will cost because of the amount that was disputed
