I have decided to start saving up my money instead of spending it every week because from all the chatter of Christmas last year on Pet Society, I definitely don’t want to miss out.
Well, the problem comes in because I had previously been opening lots of GMB’s and Ive found lots of things I like, but there are other things I want from those darned BMB’s. I really dislike them. You can never get what you want without going nearly bankrupt.
When the new items came out last week I was so excited to get the cute little tea pot and tea cup. I haven’t gotten either yet. That is what inspired me to run an experiment with Blue Mystery Boxes.
I bought a LOT of them all in groups of five. Here is the data I came up with:
Amount to spend: 9,000 coins (a lot I know), broken into 9 groups of 5 boxes apiece
Group #1
1) Fragrent Hyacinth: 16c
2) Clown Balloon: 99c
3) Leather Executive Chair: 208
4) Modern Black Couch: 99
5) Arabic Smock: 116
Total Loss: -462
Group #2
1) Shell Pot: 999c
2) Green Cap: 36c
3) Blue Bubbles Wallpaper: 166c
4) Kendi Pot Decor: 333c
5) Plain Window: 49c
Total Loss: This round I actually gained 538c.
Group #3
1) Brain Shirt: 166c
2) Retro Green Polo: 66c
3) Gold Star Perfume Bottle: 83c
4) Robust Cactus: 66c
5) Simple Table: 41c
Total Loss: -578
Group #4
1) Pleasant Window: 33c
2) Classic Tuxedo Pants: 99c
3) Green Mat: 99c
4) Sweet Orange Tree: 166c
5) White Sweat Bank: 49c
Total Loss: -554
Group #5
1) Plain Window: 49c
2) Unipet Perfume Bottle: 73c
3) Wooden Cabinet: 99c
4) Brushes Decor: 333c
5) Blooming Bush: 99c
Total Loss: -347
Group #6
1) Party Hat: 166c
2) Exquisite Orchid: 99c
3) Mademoiselle’s Bonnet: 83c
4) Patchy Carpet: 24c
5) Origami Hat: 99c
Total Loss: -529
Group #7
1) Red Pearl Bracelet: 66c
2) Strawberry Rug: 49c
3) Blue Balloon: 16c
4) Old Bucket: 166c
5) Hair Towel: 333c
Total Loss: -370
Group #8
1) Origami Hat: 99c
3) Arabic Smock: 116c
4) Green Cap: 36c
5) Wooden Door: 66c
Total Loss: -667
Group #9
1) Rattle Drum Deco: 266c
2) Cream Carpet: 66c
3) Blue Wave Surfboard Deco: 333c
4) Wooden Door: 66c
5) Venetian Window: 333c
Total Loss: Gain of 64c lol.
Results:
If I resold every item on here, I would be at a loss of -2,905. Not too bad considering I spent 9,000 on BMB’s.
However, I did not sell everything back. I kept the Brushes Decor (333c), Shell Pot (999c), and the Kendi Pot(333c).
Uh oh. This puts me at a loss of -4,237.
That is a LOT for THREE items.
Conclusion:
Unless there is something you are DEPERATE for, don’t bother touching them. You will lose money. Its basically a guarantee.
If you really want that new tea cup like I do, honestly your best bet is the trading forums. It might cost 3×999′s (gasp!), but it saves you a lot of time and stress and junk items that you HAVE to resell if you don’t want to go bankrupt.
Any thoughts?
