An example is the Halo,the first donation item released. After 3 years it's price has risen up to 200,000,000 Million + in gold. This happens to many donation items in the 2003 area.

Rare item inflation
A rare item found in Giftboxes,will usually inflate over time. At first it may have been around 1k, and after a while it would have inflated to over 5k.Some items in the giftboxes are not so popular among users,Like the hockey mask,and they usually don't inflate.

The problem
