Is Asking 40 Stars For a Five Star Card Greedy or Fair

What Price Does Scopley Set For a Five Star Card

Currently 400 stars, and we go out of our way to pay it. 

Summary of What Usually Happen

What do you think is a fair price for a five star card?

The only thing stars are good for is giving you a vault and the vault will generally only give you 2 useable five star cards if you are lucky. 

A vault currently costs 800 stars. Selling at 40 stars each, you give 20 five star cards to open a vault that gives you 2 five star cards back. 

The cost of each of these vault five star cards is generally 400 stars a piece.

And stars are only good for opening vaults, so getting a card at 40 stars, is a hell of a deal. 

It is 1 tenth of the price you would pay if you got that same card from the vault with your stars instead of trading them.

My opinion

I give 20 five star cards to open a vault that may return 2 of them.  

Each 5 star card I sell is 1/20th of a vault. 

How anyone can see asking 40 stars for a five star card as greedy is beyond me. The two fives star cards the vault may give them back cost them 400 stars each. 

If they wanted to ask the real-world value for a five star card from a star/vault perspective, it is 400 stars. They cannot ask that, so they ask for 40, the market value. 

Addendum to explain the current 700 star vault

Stars on ONLY good for a vault. Otherwise, they are useless. A vault currently gives you one purple pack, which will likely be one five star card, most likely a golden dupe, but it may be one you can trade. Vault Five star cards are 700 stars per five star card, because that is what a vault costs and you get one purple pack. If you trade 40 stars per five star card, and then you open a vault with it, you basically opened the vault by giving up 17 five star cards to do it. the person who paid 40 stars, got an awesome deal. Instead of using their 700 stars for the vault, a single five star, they got 17 fives star cards, 40 stars at a time. That is NOT unfair for the one paying the 40 stars. It is unfair for the person only getting 40 stars, but on the other hand, they have little choice, because they cannot charge much more or no one will trade. Also, when they give you those 17 fives star cards, they are, in addition, sending 17 * 5 stars, or 85 stars. They gave up 17 fives star cards, plus 85 stars, for a single five star card. I don't see how anyone can think they are the ones being unfair.
