A while ago, I got a green party hat in Runescape that I sold in the marketplace for around 930 million gold. After I got all the gear I needed, I still had around 930 million. I didn't know what to do with it, so what I ended up doing was going around to random players, especially newer, lower level players, and I was handing out 5-20 million stacks to them. I did this to probably about 100 or so players and I still have 400 million. I don't know what to do with it.

    The partyhats were a limited time item available through the consumption of "Christmas Crackers", which you had to open with another player. They were only available for one season way back, and were tradeable. Because they could be traded to other players, and because they were limited, they shot up in price, and their cost only grew as inflation occurred.

    I had the goal once of gaining enough gold to purchase the cheapest color (purple, coincidentally my favorite), and by the time I had enough gold, the price had risen by 100x what I had saved.

    The company has made a point to not allow any limited-time items to be tradeable since.
