I know, but you never make a /profit/ by spending Shinies. So failing to make a loss is the best you can manage. I know I'd never have any reasons to spend Shinies under the AP system you suggested, meaning I'd likely just hoard them forever. The people asking for 5 are basically looking for a way to bypass the economy entirely; I don't think I've seen 5 of this sort of action done in a week except as a consequence of a scam or as excessively spammy CFJs. -- ais523
