    is my personal favourite investment choice atm. this isn't official investing advice or anything since I'm totally skipping the crew forum (slowpoke.jpg) but if you're gonna invest in any of the Black Friday bundles, it's gotta be this one. here's why:

    #1: It's black. Black is popular.

    #2: The items inside it are the best out of everything this weekend. Unmentionables and Smok have a good track record (i.e. they've gone up since their release) and Malice Punk is an expected hit. If you want to play it safe, picking up these items individually is a sure profit.

    #3: The items inside are currently undervalued and there's good reason to believe they'll the the quickest to pick up in price. Why? See #2. On the other hand, the items from the other bundles (save Powdies) have proven themselves horrible investments—just check the graphs. Even if they're currently undervalued, there's no way they'll pick up in price as fast as the Black bundle items.

    #4: The Ballad Punk. You might say it's stupid; it's obviously the cheapest rare this weekend which means it's the one people don't want—but no. It's the cheapest rare because there are so many of them. People are opening the black bundles like there's no tomorrow because they're all looking for that Ballad Punk, and they're finding it. Think about it the other way: why are the other rares so expensive? Because hardly anyone is opening the bundles for them, so there are not many being found. Because no-one really wants them.

    I'm not going to say this is the bundle that'll make you the most gold. I can't even guarantee that it'll make you gold, because it's a pretty risky investment (simple math tells you that people are paying around 250k-300k for each chance of getting a Ballad Punk). What I can guarantee is that the Classic Black Bundle is the safest investment out of all four choices.

    This is a thread for opinions, not just questions. Voice what you think about the Classic Black Bundle (or any other bundle)!

Agreed, that's why I bought one with cash when they were BoGo and plan to wait. I also picked up a few unmentionables for valentine's day.

i bought one with cash too
smile
I agree with all that you've said
And i wanted the ballad punk myself
So i opened it
Lol
Not in it but still i calculated that even by sellin the items seperate i'll get more profits than sellin the other bundles

But do you think it will come back to its regular value by december???(dragon and punk... Not heavenly which is for valentine)
I wanted to invest in super prize too

I completely agree with this. I haven't been investing in the bundles themselves, but the items inside are all being nicely tucked away for later. The black bundle items have also been increasing steadily over the past hour or two as well, so it looks like plenty of other people are getting the idea. 3nodding

    I really doubt it. They're kinda long-term investments.

    I don't plan on opening the few that I got. =P I'm saving the big risk-taking to the suckers that buy them from me ^___^

    I put 13.03% into bundles. ninja The other 86.97% is in the three items. XP I'm playing it surprisingly safe this time around; normally I would have put A LOT more into that risk.

hehe
Well i still have 400 cash in that account
Might buy the super prize singles then

Oh and another question
When i bought the bundle which is apparently my first cash shop item, it was soul bound
The only option was to open it
It wouldn't go in trade
Is it a glitch or is there a procedure to unbound it???

The only reason I'm not still buying them up is that I bought most of my hoards when they were all 20k cheaper in the MP than they are now. I might get more if they start to go down again before they leave tonight, but I'm cutting myself off before I invest my last chunk of gold on them. Restraint is hard sometimes. ninja

For security's sake, your first purchase with gaia via paypal is left soulbound for a week, just to make sure the transaction goes through properly. After this one time you shouldn't have any trouble using paypal and getting your items immediately (nonsoulbound).

Is this your first time buying cash? And if so, is this your first time doing it with paypal?

    xd I didn't even meet my budget for this hoard thanks to the sudden price spikes. I've been camping out for the past 8 hours trying to snatch bargains. ;__;

I've actually been buying up a few more items here and there when the price is good. I'm being naughty, but I can't stop. I have a sizable hoard of unmentionables and smoks, but I want more punks. xd

    My personal opinion (as an investor) is that the Aoi Tribe and its bundle is full of s**t that I wouldn't touch with a 10-foot pole. I cannot even begin to understand why anyone is buying them, let alone selling the rare.

    The Dark Jubilee is very much wanted, but that's the ONLY thing good about that bundle. The rest of the items are worthless pieces of trash that, again, I wouldn't touch with a 10-foot pole.

    Reminds me, I wanted a few of those ribbons. Should go buy some. ninja

Good point guess maybe Aoi tribe will just drop since it looks so unpopular and i actually like the recolor of it.Maybe ill go with classic black rather be safe then sorry ninja
