It was 5 last year.
I think the prices are all the same this year as last. :) Only the haunted birdhouse is newQuote:

Good question! I checked. It stays at 5.Quote:

To be exact, up to 85 diamonds worth of decorations if you completed all goals. Good luck :DQuote:

I guess buy them now before inflation causes them to skyrocket again next year.
I don't know whether it was for diamonds or not last year as this is my first Halloween in Hay Day, but in HD wiki decorations page (link above), you can see that the pot was available for 2,500 coins not for diamonds. But I don't know you could be right and wiki wrong as anyone can edit the page. And yes, the prices may go up next year as more players join. I hope they don't double it for the Christmas decorations, especially the Winter Carousel that costs 70 diamonds. Imagine it will go up to 140 diamonds each? That's one of my favorite decorations that I'm looking forward to get ever since I saw it on someone's farm, after Pearl of the sea.Quote:

Yes, it is, but its the only deco item I really like and will use throughout the year in my town. :)Quote:

it's not only the cost but I wonder why they waited so long to put them out. I mean it's almost at the end of the month so it doesn't really seem economical to buy them now when you only have a few days left until Halloween. i'm only buying the fence because I can use it year-round. I might have bought everything else if it would've come out a couple weeks ago.
Same here, it's the only one I like, and the only item on which I spent diamonds. I spend the latter only on building slots, and hiring Tom twice for a day.Quote:

The Wiki Page is incorrect. I recall not having enough diamonds to buy a candy pot last year but just to really be sure before posting, I Googled it and came across someone from 2013 who showed via video, their game with the decorations and the corresponding prices and so the prices showed 5 diamonds on the pot. I would have posted the link but I was unsure if I could or not.Quote:

I wonder if the Christmas tree will also go up? Wasn't it something like 30 or 50 diamonds last year? Yikes!
Holy cow! The price tripled since last year?Quote:

I was thinking it was 50 diamonds but at the same time I think I was trying to tell myself it was only 30 to justify the entire purchase lol. Well we will have to see what happens with the Christmas decorations and the trees in particular.Quote:

Isn't that crazy!? I wonder why the huge jump? The trees went from 20 to 40 diamonds! What's up with that? :eek::eek::confused:Quote:

Probably not. One reason being those who bought the decorations already at the current price would have to be refunded (to be fair) and that would likely be a headache for SC. :/Quote:

Several posts here mention the fact that the wrought-iron fencing is something they would use all year. After reading Madge's post about planning to use it around her town hall, I scurried back to my town hall and decided that I really liked that idea. I had saved about 80 diamonds (the most I have ever had at one time since I always use them to expand production queues or hire Tom) in anticipation of buying holiday decor. I used them to buy enough fencing for my "town hall plan".
The other items are too expensive for their limited use. The only one that was tempting was the haunted birdhouse, and I got that as a personal goal prize. If I hadn't gotten it as a prize, I probably would have broken down and bought it. I don't consider any of the others "worth the money". As I visit farms through "help wanted" ads, very few are making much of a deal over Halloween. Most are putting out the coffin and a few other things, but it doesn't look like there's been a big rush on the decorations. I imagine it's different in certain neighborhoods.
Personally, I'm lobbying for more generic "seasonal" decorations that can be used in conjunction with the special holiday decorations. I have a fabulous (my opinion) pumpkin patch that's front-and-center on my farm, and it will stay there (minus the jack-o-lanterns) until December.
I'd toyed with the idea of having a graveyard in my town, but the fact that there's only one headstone model was already a deterrent let alone the price. I wish they'd leave the fencing year round. Much as I dislike the price hike, I'd probably eventually cave and buy segments little by little. However, I just can't justify dropping ~500 diamonds in one go on fencing.
I'm probably going to have a very small graveyard in my town.
I'm sticking to a budget of 100 diamonds for Halloween decorations. So far haven't spent much, because I got most of my decorations from the event.
