RE: Splinterlands: A Look Back At Reward Card Prices

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

Sigh... I burned a gold foil Sacred Unicorn and I sold a gold Lord A for I don't even remember but I can assure you it wasn't $1000 fucking dollars. I rarely keep gold cards if I can fetch a good enough price for them to upgrade something, but lately I've been trying to resist. This post probably just set that new mindset in stone! Thanks for sharing this. I may retire off this mother fucker after all.

Ouch on the burn but who knows its possible you faired better than you think with the upgrades you purchased.

Interesting fact: The very first booster pack I purchased, under the very first card I flipped, there was an Alpha Gold Dragon (I never flipped a GFL since).

Thanks for sharing this. I may retire off this mother fucker after all.

You're Welcome, Fingers crossed we all get to retire from our crypto holdings.

OMG, man! That's a long fucking time to go without a GFL fix. I feel like I get one or two a year, but most come from rewards... I snatch up a few packs a month sometimes, but most of my collection is from playing like a maniac for the first year or so. I can say with about 99%+ certainty, though, that after seeing how they jumped in price this year, I'll watch my own balls freeze off and shatter on the ground on the coldest day in hell before I think about burning another one, gold or not.

I burned a bunch of gelatinous cubes when they were only a penny each, and last time I looked (during the height of it all) they were $.09. Never again.

Lol...except I've been thinking about doing a weekly burn of something to create a "hostage situation" for the hardcore folks. Make a demand of 10% over market value or I light it up. But, nah. I only pretend to be an asshole...

I can't bring myself to burn a card. When the burn feature was first introduced I burned one Rusty Android just to test the feature. The squeaky rusty screams that came out of MR.Rusty that day while being burned still haunt me.

A weekly Splinterlands Card burn post could generate some interest amoung the Monster Maniacs.

Yeah, but the premise of holding it hostage for higher than market value pretty much guarantees I spend a lot of money and piss off a lot of people for no return. Lol. I’m not the sharpest knife in the drawer but I’m pretty sure that’s not a path to financial stability or social grace.

You would be correct, I was more thinking of a post that burns a card based on the authors share of rewards it generates. For example if the weekly post generates $0.09 in liquid author rewards one could purchase and then burn a gelatinous cube.

Oh snap!! It's a different story if people are encouraging through voting. Ha ha! I'm just a man of the people beholden to their will. That's even more dickish. I love it!
