For most groups, its not worth sell buds for less then 600k each bud. By just farming up the pop items and selling them. You can make more per hour doing that, then selling the buds. After you take into account taking the time to farm up a pop set for each person, typically 4-5 people, and then killing the nm(which is hardly worth mentioning) still takes a lot time. Blue cleaving is a option as well, though it is not quick as farming up full pop sets. With 4-5 people by spreading out it generally takes less time in my experience.

300k bud/ 500k pop, that was it was on my ancient server, 750k a bud is a ripoff and not a "Fair" price
If you are paying 750k a bud you should expect one main thing. To obtain 50 buds as quickly as possible. And not wait around for a month seeing yourself at 14 buds. Its just the price of convenience. And by no means is it a rip off IMO. If someone else is willing to do the buds for less then 500k each, then more power to you. If you don't want to pay that price, then don't pay it. Its not the only means to get your buds done. Its just one of the fastest ways.
