    The First Decade has been added to your inventory.

    Yay.

    I'm really curious to know if I should buy a whole bunch and wait a while. I think their prices could go up. Their currently at 11k.

    As with anything that is hoardable and in short supply from a giveaway that lasts more than a day, you have to keep a close eye on prices to know when to start your hoarding. After awhile, it becomes like second nature. I think this giveaway ends in 8 days, so now wouldn't be the best time to start hoarding, as more will be given out. Wait until around the 11th or 12th, then start hoarding. You don't want to start too soon, as more are being released everyday (you want to keep the price as low as possible for as long as possible), but you also don't want to start too late because someone could start hoarding 12 hours before you and easily spend 1-2 mil and the price would raise by ~10k np (cough cough Tales of the Esophager cough). If you want to play it safe, have a large bankroll to play with, you can start hoarding now (take out all below 12k or something) and average out if the price drops again. Another plus about this is if the price starts going up dramatically (which usually always happen when other hoarders join in after the first hoarder makes the initial move), you can unload a portion of yours at a quick profit and wait for the price to drop down again and then rehoard those you just sold.

    I did this last month when Tales of the Esophager was around 5k (bought a few, but not enough to drive the price up), then when i noticed someone else was buying them up raising the price, i started buying them all the way up to 9k (pumping in around 5mil at an average of a little above 7k per book). Around the end of the 3rd week of halloween, other hoarders started joining in frantically when they noticed the price was going up, and i unloaded half my stash at 22k (another hoarder bought most of them) making a quick 3x profit on that half. I'm keeping the rest for a couple years from now.

    The difference here is that the supply of the Tales of the Esophager book was very limited towards the end of the month. Towards the end of the month, people realized the prices of doing the three spooky quests just to get this book wasnt worth it, so supply greatly diminished. Supply of the cake will be even right up until the 15th (unless they have already stopped giving them out) so you can afford to gamble and wait longer to start hoarding.
