It was 5 last year.
I was wondering about the fence, is it like the other fences? By that I mean does the price go up with each piece you buy or does it stay at 5 diamonds per piece?
Actually no. Sadly, almost all the prices for the diamond decorations cost double than last year. Gate fences were at 2 diamonds each. Tombstone was at 5 each only. Hollow Tree was at 20... and unfortunately the candy pot was available for coins last year, but now with 15 diamonds, but hey, the global event gives you bunch of these decorations for free. To be exact, up to 85 diamonds worth of decorations if you completed all goals. Good luck :D
Wish I can say otherwise, but it will always stay at 5 diamonds no matter how many fences you bought :(
If you have a look at this site it confirms the cheaper prices for last 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.
Supercell, 5 diamonds is brutal for a fence. :) It's like Apple's prices for the iphones. ;)
I've been waiting months for Halloween to get that fencing thinking it would be 2 diamonds per section and it's more than twice that. Just way too expensive, probably won't get it at all now. So disappointed. :(
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.
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.
Anyways, it's too bad the prices have sky-rocketed like that. I am even more thankful for my 4 decorations seeing I saved 85 diamonds just by contributing silly ole pumpkin pies.
I wonder if the Christmas tree will also go up? Wasn't it something like 30 or 50 diamonds last year? Yikes!
Christmas tree was 50 diamonds. The merry go round was also 50? I think. Snow globe , tree and snowmen were all offered as event prizes along with the tree last year. One event was woolies. Sweaters and hats disappeared in the dd. lol
Edit:
Just went back and read some posts i made with a friend. The woolie event gave gift boxes, snowman, candy pole, tree. If event was completed you got the snow globe.
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.
One might think there is a secret wooly event now, as I rarely see any in the DD as a result of the gift shop opening. ;)
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:
Is there any Realist Hope That sc will fix the prices? The decor especially the fence is Way too expensive :(
I think there's a message here regarding special decorations that are only appropriate for a particular holiday as opposed to decorations that enhance that holiday but are usable all year like the fencing.
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.
