I should have posted this when it happened but didnt really think about it till now.

Anywyas here is what happened...

Picture this its Monday night 1 am i am plating up dinner for myself and my gf (she doesn't get home till some time after midnight most nights) anyway she decides to buy me a mystery skin as an early Christmas present. I always like receiving the mystery skins as it is pot luck until the skin that she bought for me popped up. It was Pharaoh Nidalee....great some may think others may think its not the best and its only a 520 RP skin but it gives me a second nid skin. Well the thing is that 2 hours later it went on sale so the price of it would only have been 260 RP instead of 520 RP (490 RP Mystery skin price).

I feel kinda cheated that i got the skin that just a few hours later dropped below the price that she even paid to mystery gift it. So maybe an idea is that when they announce the next skins to go on sale that any of the 520/750 RP be taken out of the mix for mystery gifting as it seems a bit sad that people might want to give a gift to someone but have to wait just in case the person gets the said skin that is literally just about to go on sale.

I haven't had your problem yet, but kind of got tricked by the randomisation of mystery gifts.

Within the past year I've gifted 4 Mystery Gifts to a friend. All 4 ended up to be skins worth 520 RP. So, all in all I only saved 120 RP, but spent RP worth one legendary skin. This has never been the case with any other mystery gifting - they all included at least one skin worth more than 520.
