Cheapest way to own compilation/sets/venues!

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but I can tell you with certainty that the Greenhouse + Tanchoi Touches Top will not give you enough for the compilation.

I spent the first part of 2021 working on the long path to owning Best of 2012, keeping track of my CYS after every purchase. According to my calculations, the total worth of the Stones Throw Greenhouse is somewhere in the range of 5248 to 5488. Even if the Greenhouse is worth the max of that range, adding the Top's value (45 SP) only gives you 5533 SP towards Best of 2012, which is well short of the compilation's 5832 price.

I should really try to organize the notes I've been working on the past year or so (since Dec 2020 when I found the DD list) and post some of my findings because I've found a surprising number of corrections to the suggestions in the first posts of this thread.

(@puzzleaddict and @Coriandre, I would love your input on this.) @SpiredMoth, I don't know whether or not owning the Greenhouse and the top will give enough for the compilation. Do you already own Best of 2012 compilation? If not, I would be curious what your current CYS price is. The compilation's selling price of 5832 is the regular price and not the discounted CYS price. The CYS price then would be lower than 5832 once items in the compilation are purchased. The basic rule for working out the CYS price is (Set Price*.9)-(Cost of all the items owned*.9) rounded up to the nearest 5sp. See this post of the Daily Deal thread for a very detailed discussion on CYS . So the CYS would not be 5832 if you own the venue. The problem with a venue is we do not know the value of the individual items.

I would like to add that, in August 2020, puzzleaddict had posted that

... that the CYS for certain sets seems off, like people aren't getting credit for 90% of the value of items they buy. I noticed that myself a while back, and I realized that certain sets' CYS seems to change to 80% of the total price minus 80% of what I own, rather than 90/90.

You can view the posts related to this discussion from the CYS section on the DD thread.

I think this is a great idea. This thread was created almost 4 years ago. I don't doubt you may find some surprising corrections. As I mentioned above, puzzleaddict found changes to the 90/90 rule in August 2020. On January 3rd, EmmaVane posted that the price of Worldly Goodies is now 100 sp when it was not available for individual sale for years.
