Golden Ticket Toy Shop - Any Luck?

So I know this isn't really anything new, it's happened before. I had purchased Midnight Hollow thinking I had clicked on the Gold Version, but I clicked on the Standard Version. Of course you can't ...

    @DoofenshmirtzH  Unfortunately, there's no way to make this happen.  I thought that was the case, but I asked around just to be sure.  And it's just not something that can be done with the way the system is set up.

    You might be able to save a few points, or more than a few, by using the Make Me an Offer machine.  It's completely random what you're offered, and how big a discount you get, but I've seen Midnight Hollow gold among my offers.  Additionally, SimPoint bundles are 50% off in Origin right now; the sale ends Friday (January 11) at 10 am PST/6 pm UTC.  So you would still have to pay, but not nearly as much as you would normally.

    I know it's not the answer you want, and I'm sorry there isn't a way to make an exchange work.

Yeah, that's what I've been hoping for. Sunlit Tides Gold came up for me on Make Me An Offer a couple of months ago, with other stuff of course, and it was 50% off, so I grabbed that one. After I saw that, I figured that might be my only hope. Some of the other worlds have come up too, but those ones were only ever 11 - 13% off.

Like you say, it's so random; not just when a world will come up, but the discount.If it ever came up at 50% or more off, I'd snap it up no questions asked. 40% I'd consider it. 11% isn't even going to make me think twice about hitting the next button.

But no, in a strange way it kind of is the answer I was looking for. To be honest I was more interested in confirming what I figured I already knew. I hadn't seen a success story about this in all of the searches I've done either on here or elsewhere. I was pretty much expecting this, but didn't want to give up hope until I confirmed it.
