Delta: -3.4M
ROI: Loss
Notes: The original (and similar-looking) Pale Marionette went from 14M to 8M during the sale and has since dropped to 7M. To illustrate that 'rarity' is the reason behind absurdly high prices.

Item Cost: 440k
Delta: 650k

3 Months: 1.7M
Dainty Damsel: 280k

Island Sherbert: 190k
Delta: 1M
ROI: 143%
Notes: It is unclear whether Minty Kisses impacted the price of the bundle or if it is due more to market manipulation.
