Retail Bchests for 7.5€. Would you buy them?

[Madenaras]

Title says it all. A retail store sells them for this price, probably cause of Blizz Christmas sale. Would you buy a ton of them or wait and pray for a new 4€ bchest link? Or go Russian?

Russian keys are about 6.5€ atm, and getting EU keys would require less work arounds with region lock

I just bought 50 keys at the shop...
don't see an issue in it, aslong as i don't have to pay 15 euro pr key.. im happy

and i'll make it back in less than a day worth of farming.. so it's no biggie

How come the Russian keys doubled in price anyway ?

It's probably caused by the recent Russian economic crisis. The ruble's value crashed to like 80/USD a few weeks ago, so the sellers increased prices. Now it's again around 50/USD, that is immediately reflected in the exchange rate, but the sellers haven't adjusted prices yet. It should stabilise in a few days. (I hope. )

Paypal, and yes - it was from the Blizzard store.

good luck with that, let us know in 3 days how many actually work. blizzard likes to take your money, then cancel the order a couple days later. especially when ordering an obscene amount of battlechests.

they finally banned my paypal after buying from them for the last 6 years. Now all i get is a 'This payment method is not valid. please choose a different method of payment'

posting links is prohibited, but the NY Times posted an online article about the lowering gas prices here in the US. seems it is killing economies around the world who depend on the US to import their oil. its a good read and might explain the currency exchange fluctuations we are experiencing with Russian Keys.

I've been using several diffrent paypals, and they always work..
and so far, 1 got canceled, by paypal.. not by blizzard..

Try gifting them to a seperate email, that ussualy works for me.

Actually RU BC keys are expensive because the stock is very low atm. Btw, the wod expansion is still very cheap. For sure, might be related to the crisis.
My seller is expecting to get a new stock within a week, so I guess it s the same for others. Let's see if it get back at 5-6$ soon.
