I've been playing Splinterlandssince before the tail end of the Alpha booster packs selling out and the introduction of the Beta booster packs. It's been a long time.
2 years ago, I wrote about how I won a Prince Rennyn card when opening an ORB pack. You can read that post here:
Splinterlands: A Visit From The Prince
Back then people were selling them for $20 - $30 dollars if you can believe that. Seriously crazy stuff. I sold mine for around the same price and I had regretted it ever since.
A few weeks ago I saw it on the market for $99 and wanted to buy it. I made the owner an offer after they jumped up the price to $135. It was the day before I got paid so I needed to wait. They agreed to sort something out but nothing eventuated.
The card then sold at the higher price before I could get paid again. So, I ended up buying the Prince again for $140 in credits.
It's crazy to pay that kind of money for a digital asset don't you think? Or so I thought.
Checking the current price of Prince Rennyn, it's now currently worth $1150. Now that's insane!
Either way, I can sleep better at night knowing that the Prince is safely back at home in my collection, earning a princely sum of DEC for my troubles. Chuckle. See what I did there?
The lesson here is to never sell your Splinterlands cards when you can lease them out for DEC.
This is not financial advice.
Prices are in US dollars
Until next time, see you in the Splinterlands!
