Boaz, I purchased the party packs to protect my currants from being converted into imagination. you've read the forums about multi-millionaires being reduced to only 800k, right? party packs can't be converted into imagination, so I used them as 'bonds' to protect my wealth. Now that the imagination system is implemented, I'm selling the party packs to retrieve my currants. Any possible loss I sustain would not be nearly as bad as the 60%+ loss that many glitchen received. I'm selling for lower than the tool vendors because 1: I'm nice that way, and 2: I want to create incentive. I hope this answers your question!
That's true Aurora, but before the update, there was rumor that such a conversion would take place. This is the safeguard I chose to take against it. I still say the risk I took was worth a small loss, though a savvy glitch may realize that I'm actually making a small profit here. I'll let the numbers wizards here figure it out ;)
