the stacks are overpriced (easily 2k a piece), only people buying stacks are the ones trying to skillup. i usually just buy one or two at 1k a piece, and then synth them into a cermet chunk for 1.5k profit.
I don't understand why crafters don't buy stacks of these when they can. They will get the same outcome from 1 stack of doll or golem shards as they will for 2 stacks of magic pot shards.
