Of course you are right there m8, not all is for sale. But remember the core raiders obtaining that gear is investing a serious amount of RL time in it.
And is that worth it?
But even if some think it is worth it, we still come to the prime critique of SoD holders:

SoD usefulness is so weak i just cant see why you wouldnt take 10 mil plat
Anything of the below is probably more than 3 times as useful:
Fungi+CoF
Manastone
Lockets of Escape and Puppet strings (plat income if you sell charges/binds)
High end gear (white dragon helm, vindi bp loot right, tov loot right, Statue/AoW/KT droppables, tov MQd class loot, haste song mask clicky loot rights, jboots MQ, Levi Cloak loot right)

All this is game breaking, compared to the 'uber aggro' of a SoD

Usefulness is a Word often used in guild loot policy.
Why shouldnt it be used in this discussion ?

If you compare the plat a SoD can give, and what you can use that plat for, the aggro argument of a SoD becomes Weak

There is just one thing that makes me see some form of logic in SoD holders:
If the person owning a SoD is already a CoF/fungi/hard core raider/Levi Cloak jboots etc then ofc they should keep the SoD [You must be logged in to view images.

The only possible buyer would be someone else who has all this stuff already (and lots of plat) and who likes to hold a SoD (for no real useful reason whatsoever?[You must be logged in to view images.
