Yeah, I'm probably the same. If I had tried my hardest island-hopping, or tried my best trying to obtain a trade on here, and still didn't get anywhere then I probably would. I probably wouldn't spend anything more than like $30 unless I wanted something really badly, which I don't. Paying a relatively small price just seems a bit more logical if you're guaranteed to get something, rather than wasting time for a small chance of getting something.I would possibly consider it if I have tried my hardest and failed after a long period of time.
Desperate times call for desperate measures.
