I've been debating this for a while. Of course I've never tried to add up how much I spend vs. how much I get, but I've really only gotten something over 25,000 a handful of times. If I always sold those items then it would be worth it, but I don't sell them usually cause I'm lazy and don't usually have a gold account to autoprice haha. What do you all think? Is the hustler worth the effort and sp for you?

I think he is. Its once a day, there are several achievements (yes the odds are tiny, but they are 0 if you don't play), its cheap. Yeah, you're probably going to spend more than you'll ever get back, but two of the "special items" are unbuyable and the third is 57M, so winning just one of those would pay you back and more even if you played the most expensive option every day.

that's a great point. i think you're totally right!
