Winter Packs still 10M

[Vanden]

So it's been 2 1/2 months since the sale ended, but I can still buy Winter packs for 20 million. Why are you guys still listing them so low? Leaving money on the table...

Are they consistently going for 20m? It's possible they changed the seed price to 20m instead of 25m.

20 million if not less, yeah. I don’t think the seed price changed.

I bought 10 about 3 days ago, 20 a pop

Still 20M each for the most part, though I've seen a few recent buys for 19M so it's still fluctuating.

 

I recall the devs saying they'd re-seeded 10 million of them at 25M, but a lot of people bought a lot of packs during the sale.  There are people who want some return more quickly, and there are people who are willing to buy at 20M to open or sell later when the price does finish coming back up.  I figured when I bought in that it would be at least April/May before the prices returned to normal.

So, there's a copy of my data, Like my IRA, I don't look at it every day, but every so often. 

If you're not familiar, the Winter Pack Count is the number of packs over the dev-seeded 10 million packs. 
Overall, most of our marketers aren't greedy. I think most feel 2x your inf back (less fees) is quite reasonable. 

What's surprising me is how fast the Winter-Os have rebounded in price. Not all the way in some sets, but closer than I thought they would be.

I noted this morning they were back up to 22.5 million, with an excess of 1868 for sale.

And here we are. 

 

A lot of the 1765 in excess of the seeds might be listed just under 25M, but people won't work the digits to find the exact number because round numbers are beloved by the vast masses.

 

And the leap up from 22.5M to 25M is, unsurprisingly, about the market fee.

You were correct! 

[FrauleinMental]

There are still some listed at or below 24M, since my packs posted at 24M haven't sold yet.  But I'm well on track, and the Winter Pack Count is decreasing. 🙂

The bad news is that I now know what the short-term cap is in the market.

 

The good news is that I'm chipping away at the packs beneath you.

feel free to grab the last few I have listed up, I am not too bothered about eking out an extra 2-3M per sale since already have moved 781 at last count since Jan. I lost patience and just listed to sale rather than at 24M like Fraule!

Ha!  I'll be honest, the only reason I was buying them was because I was looking to seed the Character Items on my second account with some merits for converters...
