Had a discussion with Propo about this a few months back. Basically we were talking about items that hold their value as inflation starts to spiral out of control...sure enough in those months the economy seems to have been flooded with extra plat, whether from new players levelling, RMT'ers, or a mix of both.
I remember thinking/saying that a FBSS is a good low level investment, and one that'll hold its value to Velious at least...and probably for Velious too, relative to what platinum will buy you.
As in... if you buy a FBSS at 10k now, when they're being sold for 20k later, you'll be able to cash back out and buy something on the same level as that.
Works for gold/silver in RL as well... Obama and the EU can print bank notes til they're worth nothing, but if you've got a good stash of physical gold/silver you'll always be able to trade those back in during an emergency or whatever to buy whatever it is you need (lets hope that's never 'food for the family').
