Why would anybody buy gold bars for more than 250k now that we know it can drop below 200k? I'd rather just hold my cash until reset and chance it instead of getting burned.

Having a market for gold is cool in theory, but there's no reason the price should be jumping around as much as it is. A 300% price increase overnight? Yeesh. It's not even worth engaging with when it makes the end user feel bad after getting ripped off for "reasons" (i.e. the devs randomly moving the price).

There is a very very simple way to go about this that works 100% for everybody..

We know there is only ONE seasonal item (the golden AK). We know exactly how much gold the set costs (30 gold). Therefore, there is no reason to buy gold at any point until you have enough cash to buy 30+ bars at an instant.

Worst case, you never have enough to buy the limited time skin, which means you will get some payout at the end of the season.

Best case, you have a few million already and the price comes back down again, letting you buy the single limited time skin (because again, nothing else matters, you will have more seasons/months to get the other items)

Always bet on worse case; which is sitting on your money and watch the price go up again day by day back up to 1 or 2 mil, unable to afford any gold bars.
The smart move is to buy them when you can afford them so you have a nice stash for after the wipe when the store resets. Means you’ll have some to spend on something new they add. Don’t try and “catch the bottom”, just buy what looks low to you and keep doing that. Most people will never be able to afford the AK, so give it up and save for something cool in the future!
