Since the OP mentioned what was being said on other servers - I will add that the general feeling on Shadowfax was that the sales were underwhelming. More people said they had been hoping for a sale on Valars than any other item - even though the best Valars aren't available yet on that server - just up to 105.

It is always a disappointment though no longer even a mild surprise when the best customers get the worst offers at sale time. The expansions are essentially useless to VIPs other than Gundabad since we get them already and other than expansions very little was in the sale.
